A couple of day's ago I made a huge mistake and clicked on a video that an aquaintance sent me via facebook. I know it was a very foolish thing to do, and I'm done beating myself over the head, but now I need help removing it. I read about it and it seems it has been around for a while now, but the forums say to go to your windows directory and find files that are either tmark2.dat and/ or mstre6.exe files and delete them. But, I can not find these files in my windows directory.
After running a McAfee full scan and finding the virus was still very present, I ran a ParetoLogic Anti-Virus Plus which also took a very long scan on my stuff and hours later displays that I have 38 items total that have been detected, most just a bunch of cookies, but the last 3 it displays are: Obfuscated AAX Trojan Trojan-Downloader.win32.Fraudload.eki Trojan.Win32.Agent.clsj I went back to my windows directory to look for these so I could manually delete them, but have been unable to find them. Then, I also searched the internet and found some websites list these as fake detractors that fake anti0spyware sites use to try and get you to purchase their spyware for $40. There's definately something on my computer, but its difficult to conclude which is the best route to take. Can anyone here advise me the best (and least costly) course of action. I am on my bf's laptop which is not infected, seeking help All constructive guidance is welcome and greatly appreciated. Gratefully, C6P UPDATE - i dont know what I did wrong, but not even a single view on my topic? I musta done something wrong. Where to properly post????
