help for possible virus
good day to all,
last night, thursday, i started to get these pop up "warnings" from my alleged anti virus/anti spyware, so i figured it was the phony pop ups that wanted to me to click yes; i never did, but, anytime i tried to open my own security programs, explorer, or any folder, it would open briefly, then close & another pop up would surface. i have a quick scan run every morning, using mse, i run a full scan w/ mse, once every 1-2 weeks, i keep spyware blaster updated & run ccleaner often. i could not log off last night, via start menu, so i shut it down from the tower. i started it this morning & same thing, so i restarted it, via safe mode & restored to wed. when all was fine. now, i ran the mse quick scan after logging in the safe mode, no threats were found. so, 1, do i just keep running in the restored mode, or do i try & find the virus ? thanks for any/all, ia -- Dallas..... Dell P 4, 3GHz, 512 MB DDR SDRAM, 160 GB, Win XP HomeSP3, WMP11, 16X DVD-ROM & ,6X DVD+/RW, IE8, OE6, DSL, via AT&T. I use these on a regular basis: MSE, Spyware Blaster, Ccleaner |

YW. It looks like your clean. Go ahead and use your computer as normal. As
I said, since an SR fixed your issue. I didn't think it was Malware related, but this is a good program to have and run on occasion.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes...8022_4-1080457.... -- * * * * * Bruce Hagen * * * * MS-MVP *[Mail] * * *Imperial Beach, CA Why in the world would anyone do a quick scan if you are even suspicious about the integrity of your computer. It would seem that if one are worried about something one would do the most thorough scan possible even if it takes longer. Won't you always wonder later: "Hmmm... maybe I should have done a full scan instead..." If you do a quick scan, fewer things get scanned so if there is an option to scan more things why not scan everything that is scannable and just get it over with - at least once in a while or when there is some unexplained behavior. You don't want to wonder about it later. How many thousands of items do you think your quick scan did not scan today? Phony pop-up warnings come from several different sophisticated infections and the proper removal process is sometimes detailed and specific for each one (fortunately, most procedures have been well documented). If you want the details, please provide more info than "those pop-up warnings"... What do they say exactly, or take a screen shot so somebody else can see what you are seeing instead of imagining what you are seeing. Perform some scans for malicious software, then fix any remaining issues: Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs: Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/ SUPERAntiSpywa (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/ They can be uninstalled later if desired. |

It would seem that if one are worried about something one would do the most thorough scan possible even if it takes longer. Won't you always wonder later: "Hmmm... maybe I should have done a full scan instead..." If you do a quick scan, fewer things get scanned so if there is an option to scan more things why not scan everything that is scannable and just get it over with - at least once in a while or when there is some unexplained behavior. You don't want to wonder about it later. How many thousands of items do you think your quick scan did not scan today? Phony pop-up warnings come from several different sophisticated infections and the proper removal process is sometimes detailed and specific for each one (fortunately, most procedures have been well documented). If you want the details, please provide more info than "those pop-up warnings"... What do they say exactly, or take a screen shot so somebody else can see what you are seeing instead of imagining what you are seeing.
