I am using XP2.
I have installed Avg free 8.0 and do updates daily.
2 hours back some popups appeard frequently that tells 'your computer is infected'.
It will show some online scanings and tell that there are several malwares in my computer.
I tried to remove it by doing an online scan at
http://www.bitdefender.com/scanner/online/free.html, but it failed.
After some time the system automatically restarted.
Then also so many popups came and after some time again restarted.
(I am posting this before the system restarts).
After restarting several popups were coming with showing a file scaning.
After scaning it tell that my computer is infected.
I can not open notepad, word or MS Outlook Express.
In the start programs a new program named 'System Security 2009' is installed. (I am saving this)
I tried to open
'Add & Remove' in control panel to remove this , but I couldn't.
A popup in system tray says, 'Warning! Application can not be executed. The file rundll32.exe is infected. Please activate your anti-virus software!
In system tray only clock is seen. No AVG or many other programs installed.
When I clicked on the support icon of 'System Security 2009' in start, it leaded to
www.supportnetcenter.com.
A window is frequently appearing with address
http://track.oainternetservices.com/doIn?id=503760&trackId=General&storeId=500014 and that page tells 'Forbidden'.
Before shutting down, the blue desktop says, 'A problem has been detected and windows is shutting down. The problem seems to be caused by the following file: NTFS.SYS'
After restart, on desktop it is written in big red letters, 'Warning! You are in danger! Your computer is infected with spyware! ---- ------ ------ '.
Please help me to remove this virus(?)
