THIS just popped up on my missuses laptop,then chucked her out of IE and off the internet.

we have iE 6 and downloaded all updates after the latest scare...

This looks like a Microsoft window but how can we be sure??

Havent clicked the ok button yet, Heeelp what do we do.

we also have the MS malicious software tool installed( its supposed to run once a month but this is the first time this window has appeared)

It's malware - probably Smitfraud or Goored. Is it still popping up now?

Don't click the OK button

Sounds like you have a malware program installed. Use Spybot Search and destroy to get rid of it, personally I wouldn't trust any software written by microsoft.

Hi Roger,
Too late, she hit the ok button.
Now my pc is telling me on shared documents, 8 viruses, hard docs 1, hard drive 9, various names threat level from critical to high.
Recommends click start protection button to erase all threats.

When we hit start button, a setup build exe pops up (which looks dodgy)
Name setup_build7_102.exe from searchurlguide.com


Aaaaaaaaghhhh

[ochstephen]

Viruses listed include
Trojan downloader
Nimba.j
hoax.renos.hx
mypics.worm
yaha.b
elkernf-secure
trojan virtumonde
trojan horse irc

Starting to have a mild panic attack as she does her banking on that machine!!!
Will I be able to go into start button and sign on internet explorer without anymore damage and download spybot?? Will it even let me sign on? scared to touch anything now.

[Roger]

Ignore that list, it's a scam it's an A-360 variant. You have got an infection, but not what it's telling you. This is ransom-ware. It's got it's claws into your PC and now wants paying to remove it.

The good news is that it's easy to remove. I remove these all the time for Club members. Good reason to join eh

No need to panic, it's (probably) not a big issue

Don't use Spybot for this, it's quite a good tool but won't sort all this out. If it's just A-360, it won't pose a security risk, but we can check this if you like.

[ochstephen]

Proceeding as instructed.
