Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me with my problem.

I'm running an HP Pavillion 725n with Windows XP Home Edition and Service Pack 3. This morning, my mother visited Facebook with MS Internet Explorer. She reported to me that her browser window suddenly disappered and up popped what looked like an authentic message from Windows Security warning her that this machine may be infected and needed to be scanned. She clicked "OK" and got a scary-looking page informing her that several drives were badly infected and needed to be cleaned. This site attempted to download an .exe file from "antivirus.scan.pro," or something like that. Fortunately, Windows Security stepped in and gave us the dialog box warning us that .exe files can be malicious and gave us the option of cancelling or proceeding with the download. I repeatedly clicked "Cancel," but the file kept trying to download itself. I finally used Ctrl-Alt-Del to exit IE entirely.

This sounds like the work of this infamous AntiVirus 2009 trojan. AntiVirus 2009 is showing in the Start > All Programs menu, nor in the Add/Delete Programs menu, nor in The Program Files folder. My browsers are functioning normally, and at present, no one is trying to force me to buy AV software. However, this morning, I was unable to initiate a full system scan with Norton AV 2009. (But otherwise, my computer is not misbehaving.)

Here's where I need help: For peace of mind, I downloaded and updated Malwarebytes and did a full system scan (with System Restore turned off). Here's the resulting log:

MB appears to have successfully caught and removed two bad registry keys. Once they were removed, I was able to launch a full system scan with Norton. I did not let the scan run all the way to completion, so I don't know if Norton would have caught anything.

I want to be certain that no traces of this threat (or any other) are still lurking on my machine, waiting to reinstall themselves and spring up later. Do I need to do anything more at this point? I'm ready to post HijackThis logs if needed.

Again, I'd appreciate any assistance, and thank you in advance.

Hi and welcome to the Daniweb forums :).

Post your log.
No point scanning with your AV if you are not going to let it run to the end.

Okay, here's an HJT log

I agree with Crunchie, why stop the av scan? You have no idea if something is still on the machine so it was absolutely of no use to even run it.
You need to complete the scan, that is the only way to be certain. You also should run ESET Online scanner and have it remove anything found.
To run ESET you need to do the following: Use Internet Explorer and also TURN OFF your Norton Program.

After you do that, REBOOT the computer. Update MBA-M and do one more Full Scan with it, Remove All that is found.
Reboot the computer.
Then run another HJT scan and post back with that log, the new MBA-M log and the ESET log.

I also note you have Ewido Anti-spy program on the computer. It is no longer a stand alone program but part of AVG antivirus. You should Uninstall this program.
Also your Java is WAY out of date and should be updated.

try this online scanner to see if there are any traces left on your pc.. http://quickscan.bitdefender.com/
no need to install it.. and it takes only 30 seconds to scan all active processes.
if it finds sth "bad".. remove it with whatever av you like.. it your av doesn't do the job.. i recommend installing bitdefender internet security 2009.
let me kno how it works out.

good luck and stay protected!

Bad suggestion. NEVER install two anti-virus programs on one computer. Poster hasn't completed a scan with the installed av program, why would installing a second one make a difference?
Continue with the instructions given concerning ESET online scanner.

Thanks for the replies.

Brief update: This time, I did the complete scan with Norton. It found nothing but a solitary tracking cookie. I'll follow all of jholland's instructions and post the requested logs once I have them.

Thanks again.

I'll be waiting for your logs.
Judy

Judy,

At long last, here are the logs you requested. I have not yet uninstalled Ewido, but I will do that.

Thanks again.

Looks good.

Should I consider everything clean, then? If so, thanks greatly for the assistance. :)

As long as you feel everything is running as it should then yes it is clean and you can mark this thread solved. I'm happy I could be of service. If you need anymore help don't hesitate to come back. That is why we are here.

hey i think i have the exact same virus because it pops up with the same kind of messages only mine terminates windows instantly after they pop up and this includes everything, games, some mozzila but not IE, task manager. I tried to download that ESET program but it would close the window before i could click download, any advice?

We ask that members not piggy-back questions on to a thread previously started by another member here in the Viruses, Spyware & other Nasties forum, (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.

Please start your own thread and post your question there. When you do, please try to give us as much specific info as possible regarding the problem (exact error messages, system specs, etc.).

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