[Closed] Stupid "Anti-Virus" Virus again!

3 min read

I think I've got one of these viruses that pretends to be an anti-virus program. It started a scan out of nowhere.

I keep getting prompts that say "XP internet Security has blocked a program from accessing the Internet. Internet explorer is infected with Trojan-BNK.Win32.Keylogger.gen. Private data can be stolen by third parties, including credit card details and passwords." It does this whether I try to use internet explorer or mozilla firefox.

This particular "XP Internet Security" has not come up before, it's always been some other stupid "brand"… but I'm pretty sure this is not the actual seciruty center…also, I've done a scan with Avira and it did not come up with anything.

And I keep getting these little prompts at the bottom of the screen for various things.

ALSO: I have tried opening my MalwareBytes to run, but it will not open!

So far, I haven't come across any other issues, but this is annoying in itself.

Here is my hijack this log. Please help! Thank you!

  • Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.

Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time, and post it with your next reply. You may need two posts to fit them all in.

Please post back with
  • GMER log
  • both OTL logs
Thanks
