lefty1953 Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 My daughter went to a HTML help site yesterday and as soon as she did a popup came up and told her it needed to install something on her system. She hit the red X and then it installed Trojans onto her system. It also installed several adware and spyware programs including Mira,Virtual score,Bookedspace and some others. I got rid of the viruses and all the Adware and spyware. I went to symantec for the instructions for removal and then one by one removed them. The system is clean until she gets on-line. As soon as she does, more Viruses pop up and AVG spots them and we delete them but it doesn't stop. Could it be attached to Internet explorer? What would cause this? Thanks in advance.

bozodog Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Be sure to clean out your temp files and recycle bin. Also do your scans in safe mode. IE can be very vunerable. Do you have all the updated patches? What about "IE spyad" SpyWareBlaster and SpyWareGuard? What about your firewall? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

She doesnt have a Firewall going. I fixed all the viruses and Adware and spyware and now all she is getting is 2 pop ups that she just has to X out of. No more Virus. I am pretty sure we have all the services shut down that should be as in Telnet,Web and FTP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bozodog Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 You should at least be using Windows firewall. And in my book, "ANY" popup is too many... Maybe post a HJT log to be sure you got rid of all the crapware. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy_veal Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Try using CCleaner to help remove temporary files. Just make sure you have the latest updates of everything.....Try this site, for some suggestions of programs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
