I am running windows 2000. My wife opened up an unknown email accidentally and this is what happened. We new have a red circle in the menu bar on the lower right portion of the screen and if you put the mouse over it a bubble comes up and says
Quote:
your computer is infected! windows has detected spyware infection

. I downloaded adaware and it identified it as what is in the subject line.

Here is my hijackthis log:

Hello and welcome to the forums

My name is Katana and I will be helping you to remove any infection(s) that you may have.

Please observe these rules while we work:
1. If you don't know, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
2. Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
3. Please continue to respond until I give you the "All Clear"
(Just because you can't see a problem doesn't mean it isn't there)

If you can do those three things, everything should go smoothly :D

I apologize for the delay in responding, but as you can probably see the forums are quite busy.
Unfortunately there are far more people needing help than there are helpers.

Please Note, your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use.
Be assured, any links I give are safe

Is there a particular reason why you haven't updated W2K for several years ?
SP4 has been out for a very long time now.


No Antivirus

I can see no indication of any Antivirus software.

Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that you have anti-virus software running on your machine.
This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.
Free AV list ( Home users only)
Avira AntiVir
Avast

Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week.
If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.

Antivirus is a MUST


The following program/s are regarded as either "Rogue", being bundled with "Adware" or having dubious reputations

Spyware Nuker

I recommend that you remove Via Add/Remove Programs
