Virus Alert on Taskbar
 

I keep getting the message Virus Alert - Critical System Error on my taskbar. There's a flashing icon, with a question mark and a prohibition sign. could anyone help me get rid of this

Re: Virus Alert on Taskbar
 

That is a known symptom of a particular family of spyware infections; I'm moving your question to our Viruses, Spyware, and other Nasties forum, where you can get expert help in removing the infection(s).

To begin with, please do the following:

Download the (free) HijackThis utility. Once downloaded, follow these instructions to install and run the program:

Create a folder for HijackThis outside of any Temp/Temporary folders and move the downloaded HijackThis.exe file to that folder now. A folder such such as C:\HijackThis or C:\Spyware Tools\HijackThis will do.

Run HijackThis, but do not have HJT fix anything yet; only have it scan your system! Once the scan is complete, the "Scan" button will turn into an option to "Save log...".
Save the log in the folder you created for HijackThis; the saved file will be named "hijackthis.log". Open the log file with Windows Notepad, and cut-n-paste the entire contents of the Notepad file here.

The log contents will tell us a lot about what "nasties" have crept into your system, and once we analyse the log we can tell you what to do from there.

Re: Virus Alert on Taskbar
 

Hi jaromir04,

First of all- welcome to DaniWeb :)

We ask that members not tag their questions on to a thread previously started by another member (regardless of how similar your problem might seem). Not only does it divert the focus of the thread away from the original poster's problem, but it also makes it less likely that you yourself will get the individual attention that you need.

In light of that, I've moved your post into a new thread of its own, which you can find here. Someone will assist you in that thread shortly.

For a full description of our posting guidelines and general rules of conduct, please see this page:

http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforum...niweb_policies

Thanks for understanding.

Re: Virus Alert on Taskbar
 

[quote=DMR]That is a known symptom of a particular family of spyware infections; I'm moving your question to our Viruses, Spyware, and other Nasties forum, where you can get expert help in removing the infection(s).

To begin with, please do the following:

Download the (free) HijackThis utility. Once downloaded, follow these instructions to install and run the program:

Create a folder for HijackThis outside of any Temp/Temporary folders and move the downloaded HijackThis.exe file to that folder now. A folder such such as C:\HijackThis or C:\Spyware Tools\HijackThis will do.

Run HijackThis, but do not have HJT fix anything yet; only have it scan your system! Once the scan is complete, the "Scan" button will turn into an option to "Save log...".
Save the log in the folder you created for HijackThis; the saved file will be named "hijackthis.log". Open the log file with Windows Notepad, and cut-n-paste the entire contents of the Notepad file here.

Re: Virus Alert on Taskbar
 

Apolgies for the delayed response.

Your log shows signs of a SpywareQuake infection, and the most current SpywareQuake removal procedure is posted here.

Please follow the removal instructions carefully, and then post the contents of the C:\Program Files\RoguesScanFix\task.txt file which will be generated during the removal. Also post a new HijackThis log.
