i dled spybot-search n destroy, removed n immunize the comp but i got this msg

Wad is happening n how do i solve it ? I rerun spybot scan n no spyware was found

Don’t install the software it recommended. Update and use your own antivirus/spyware

You have already installed a spyware before visiting that blog. You need to double check all the processes in the task manager. Note that the processes are case sensitive. Some spywares have the same name as the legitimate process, but start with small or capital letter when they should not be.

If you aren't sure which process is legimitate, use HijackThis. Post a log here after scanning.

actually this laptop is just repaired haven installed spybot, virus scan...but after the spyware, i dled spybot n AVG anti-virus....i used spybot to remove then use AVG to check for virus..Wa lao got virus, 27 infections...

after 1st cleanup, i rerun AVG n got 7 infections, 2nd cleanup no more infections..

Does it mean my comp is fine already? Rolling Eyes ....Cant believe it even blogs got virus? Somemore its a Singaporean blogger

You have to monitor for a few more days. If it keeps showing you that window, means your computer is not fine yet.

About the blog, the owner's blog could be infected if he/she has some programs in the blog.

i run few times liao..no infections detected..safe?

Hmm....i got the same window as well. But mine was spyware strike. It pose as a anti spyware program but actually its a spyware itself! so...my guess is dun click on the balloon. I tried to remove the spyware with all kinds of softwares. but to no avail. until my fren send me a special program. and im free form it ever since. if not...it can just crash ur system. be careful.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Should be safe now. If the balloon starts popping up again, then something has not been removed yet.

i had a false alarm once.. the spyware is removed but something remained. forgot how i fixed it though.. Neutral

There is nothing worth stealing from your computer except those nuclear launch codes, do you have them? Laughing

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Something probably triggered it. Since it re-appears, it's probably in the registry. You could have done something to the registry to remove it or use some tools which cleaned it.

borntolive SG

wa lao..then wad can i do? Crying or Very sad i think the only sites safe r search engines, sgforums n other well known forums...other webby very dangerous

Prevention is better than Cure.

Any recommended free spyware software that can be downloaded?

gohkatkat SG

can try yahoo toolbar antispyware......but its limited.....best to format......trojans can tap into your ISP port......very risky....the last time i got infected....some dope was trying to hack into my PC and it disabled my program manager so i can't shut down any remnant spyware systems........good and fast hacker.......though i realised it and immediately KILLED the pc by formatting it.

Free spyware? Laughing
