Help!: Ispynow

Expand Post »
Hello,

My computer is afflicted with ispynow, which prompts a phony message every 12 minutes saying just that and asking me to buy protection from some bogus third party site. Anywho, I've been reading some of the ispynow threads, and have found the following files on my computer:

system32:
TDSSfpmp.dll
TDSSosvd (DAT file)
TDSStkdv (notepad document)

In system32/drivers:
no files with TDSS prefix.

In device manager:
TDSSserv.sys (under non-plug and play drivers; I just disabled it, but am still getting the pop-ups after restart)

Do I need to start with MBAM, or now knowing these files exist, is there another step I should take? I'd be more than happy to post a hijackthis file, but I'm not sure if it's needed.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Re: Help!: Ispynow

Hey Twenty8, i am sorry to hear that your computer caught a virus

What i would do is the following:
Go Into Safemode
Scan with Spybot S&D
Run MSconfig and remove any of the virus objects from starting up
Run MBAM
Check the Registry for any left overs...

Good Luck!

Re: Help!: Ispynow

I installed MBAM, but it seems to be stuck on "looking for malwarebytes.org" in order to update. I read that ispynow can actually block that site from your computer.

Guess I need to manually install updates...

Re: Help!: Ispynow

Alright, since I just DLed a fresh copy of MBAM yesterday, I figured the update could wait. Anywho I ran it, and lo and behold it found some stuff. I had it remove all of the selected files and the pop-up is gone! Here is the MBAM log and hijack this after re-booting. Please let me know if everything looks good, or if I need to get the MBAM update and run it again.

Re: Help!: Ispynow

Will do.

Is it safe to uninstall TDSSserv.sys from the device manager, or is it best that I leave it alone?
