Thank you.
After a week of messing around and trying various downloads, none of them worked, my pc is finally clean of the annoying message after using SDfix and your help.
People creating these should be prosecuted for stealing our time.

Thanks again.

tiggly,

Welcome to the forum. Yep you where infected with the SDbot worm, sometimes there is other stuff that comes along with it. Post a HJT log and lets make sure its all gone and there is nothing else.

Download Trendmicros Hijackthis to your desktop.
  • Double click it to install
  • Follow the prompts and by default it will install in C:\Program Files\Trendmicro\Hijackthis\Highjackthis.exe

  • Open HJT Scan and Save a Log File, it will open in Notepad
  • Go to Format and make sure Wordwrap is Unchecked
  • Go to Edit> Select All…..Edit > Copy and Paste the new log into this thread by using the Post Reply and not start a New Thread.
DO NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
