Please help me Obi-wan... I happened upon the wrong website and a .txt file loaded as the website loaded. Immediately my Avira antivirus program went offline and a fake antivirus program started up with a small green shield in the task bar continuously telling me I had been infected...well duh I removed Avira, as I could not get it to run a manual update, then tried to reinstall, but found the same problem. I tried to use Eraser to remove Avira's folder, which even after uninstalling the program acted as if it was running and I could not alter it. I did finally remove the folder on forced restart as system's restart/logoff was now no longer responding, but the problem seems to reside elsewhere. I'll post the HijackThis file as soon as I download and install the updated version of the program...if I can, that is.... The faux Anti-Virus program is called "Antispyware Soft".

Should I delete O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [gverrxyu] C:\Documents and Settings\Melima Callahd\Local Settings\Application Data\wigqqkboy\qjfsodjtssd.exe?

DO NOT use any TOOLS such as Combofix or HijackThis fixes without supervision.

Doing so could make your pc inoperatible and could require a full reinstall of your OS, losing all your programs and data.

How to remove the fake anti-virus


First we need to Restart your computer in Safe Mode.

» On Windows XP

Restart your computer in Safe Mode.

Press F8 after the Power-On Self Test (POST) is done. If the Windows Advanced Options Menu does not appear, try restarting and then pressing F8 several times after the POST screen.
Choose the Safe Mode option from the Windows Advanced Options Menu then press Enter.
This can take several miniutes to load.


>> Vista

Restart your computer in Safe Mode.

Press F8 after the Power-On Self Test (POST) is done. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you will need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.

On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the safe mode option you want, and then press ENTER. For more information about options, see Advanced startup options (including safe mode).

Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights.

When your computer is in safe mode, you'll see the words Safe Mode in the corners of the display. To exit safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally.


>> Windows 7

Restart your computer in Safe Mode.

Using the F8 Method:

Restart your computer.
When the computer starts you will see your computer's hardware being listed. When you see this information start to gently tap the F8 key on your keyboard repeatedly until you are presented with the Windows 7 Advanced Boot Options and select the Safe Mode option you want.

Then press the enter key on your keyboard to boot into Windows 7 Safe Mode.
When Windows starts you will be at a typical logon screen. Logon to your computer and Windows 7 will enter Safe mode.

You might want to print these instructions out.

I suggest you do this:


XP Users

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Uncheck "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, select "Show hidden files and folders."
Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Next:
We're going to use the fake anti-virus program "Security Tool" as the example here: Yours maybe different


1. Look on your desktop for a shortcut to the fake anti-fvirus program "Security Tool". (Yours maybe different.)
DO NOT delete the shortcut yet.

2. Right Click on the shortcut: "Security Tool". (Yours maybe different.) and select Properties.
Look at the path. It will be something like C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\87654321\87654321.exe

3. Right Click on the folder 87654321 and select Delete.

4. Once you have deleted the folder, delete the shortcut on your desktop and empty the Trash.

Reboot the computer in Normal Mode.
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.
