    Hi there,

    My husband has been on my computer and has now caught some type of virus! Joy...

    First of all, I get a bubble type pop up in the bottom right hand corner. "Windows Security Alert - Application cannot be executed. The file wuauclt.exe is infected. Do you want to activate your antivirus software now?"

    Then I get a message in the middle of my screen. "Spyware Alert! - Your computer is infected by spware - 34 serious threats have been found while scanning your files and registry. Is is strongly recommended that you disinfect your computer and activate Realtime secure protection against future intrusions." It then gives me options to "Activate Your antivirus software or Stay Unprotected"

    Next is a message similar to the second, but in the bottom right again. "Infiltration Alert - Your computer is being attacked by an Internet Virus. It could be a password-stealing attack, a trojan - dropper or similar.
    Details
    Attack from:129.91.88.141, port 47444
    Attacked port: 58620
    Threat: Win32/Nugel.E"

    I can't see the rest as the first pop up is blocking it.

    Then my Windows Security Center pops up and tells me my firewall is off, and my virus protection is out of date.

    I think this is 'fake' as my anti virus software isn't detecting anything. I am using the Free AVG Anti Virus. Updated to the most possible for the free one.

    I have looked at the post of what to do before asking a question, and this is my results.

    Step 1: Cannot find anything weird.
    Step 2: Cannot download
    Step 3: Can download, save to desktop, but when I open "C:/Documents and Settings/Compaq_Owner/Desktop/SUPERAntiSpyware.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
    Step 4: Can download, save to desktop, but I can't open.
    Step 5: Can download, save to desktop, but I can't open.
    Step 6: Didn't complete as I couldn't complete the first steps.

    Any help would be appreciated. =)

    I am in New Zealand and it is now 2010. So Happy New Year to all. =)

    Also, I can use the internet on the broken computer through mozilla, but not internet explorer. Internet explorer keeps on opening tabs for "*censored*.com" Everytime I try to open something I've downloaded to the desktop.

    Edit: As I went to shut down my computer, I was able to install SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM), so they are currently scanning my computer. I will update once the scans have finished.

    Edit 2: I am sorry for 'bumping' this thread. I didn't know how else to post my logs.

          Ok. Since running the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware I no longer have pop ups, but I have heard that just cause they are gone, doesn't mean the virus is gone. So here is my Hijack This log.

          Hello bexcboo and welcome to Computer Hope Forum. My name is Superdave but you can just call me SD. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer. I am working under the guidance of one of the specialist of this forum so it may take a bit longer to process your logs.

          1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
          2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
          3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
          4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
          5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
          6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
          7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

          Download Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to the desktop to remove Windows Messenger.

          Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

          Unzip the file on the desktop. Open the MessengerDisable.exe and choose the bottom box - Uninstall Windows Messenger and click Apply.

          Exit out of MessengerDisable then delete the two files that were put on the desktop.

          Open HijackThis and select Do a system scan only

          Place a check mark next to the following entries: (if there)

          O9 - Extra button: Messenger - {FB5F1910-F110-11d2-BB9E-00C04F795683} - C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe
          O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Windows Messenger - {FB5F1910-F110-11d2-BB9E-00C04F795683} - C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe


          Important: Close all open windows except for HijackThis and then click Fix checked.

          Once completed, exit HijackThis.

          ESET Online Scan

          Scan your computer with the ESET FREE Online Virus Scan

          * Click the ESET Online Scanner button.

          * For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)
          * Click on the esetsmartinstaller_enu.exe to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop
          * Double click on the esetsmartinstaller_enu.exe icon on your desktop.
          * Place a check mark next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.

          * Click the Start button.
          * Accept any security warnings from your browser.
          * Leave the check mark next to Remove found threats and place a check next to Scan archives.
          * Click the Start button.
          * ESET will then download updates, install, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
          * When the scan completes, click List of found threats.
          * Next click Export to text file and save the file to your desktop using a name such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.
          * Click the <<Back button then click Finish.

          In your next reply please include the ESET Online Scan Log
          Windows 8 and Windows 10 dual boot with two SSD's

            Hi SD,

            Thanks for helping me. =)

            I Disabled/Removed Windows Messenger.

            I didn't have either of those entries in Hijack This.

            Attached is my ESET Online Scan Log.

            Thanks again. =)

            Bex

            Hello bexcboo. It looks good. If there are no other issues, let's do some clean-up

            You can uninstall HJT but keep SAS and MBAM. Update them and run them about once per week to keep your computer clean.

            Clean out your temporary internet files and temp files.

            Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop.

            Double-click TFC.exe to run it.

            Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator

            TFC will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.

            * Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process.
            * Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two.
            * Please let TFC run uninterrupted until it is finished.

            Once TFC is finished it should restart your computer. If it does not, please manually restart the computer yourself to ensure a complete cleaning.

            To turn off Windows XP System Restore:

            NOTE: These instructions assume that you are using the default Windows XP Start Menu and have not changed to the Classic Start menu. To re-enable the default menu, right-click Start, click Properties, click Start menu (not Classic) and then click OK.

            1. Click Start.
            2. Right-click the My Computer icon, and then click Properties.
            3. Click the System Restore tab.
            4. Check "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives"
            5. Click Apply.
            6.  When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click Yes to do this.
            7. Click OK.
            8. Restart the computer and follow the instructions in the next section to turn on System Restore.

            To turn on Windows XP System Restore:

            1. Click Start.
            2. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
            3. Click the System Restore tab.
            4. Uncheck "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives."
            5. Click Apply, and then click OK.

            Looking over your log it seems you don't have any evidence of a third party firewall.

            Firewalls protect against hackers and malicious intruders. You need to download a free firewall from one of these reliable vendors.

            Remember only install ONE firewall

            1) Comodo Personal Firewall (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" and uncheck any HopSurf and/or Ask.com options if you choose this one)
            2) Online Armor
            3) Agnitum Outpost
            4) PC Tools Firewall Plus

            If you are using the built-in Windows XP firewall, it is not recommended as it does not block outgoing connections. This means that any malware on your computer is free to "phone home" for more instructions. Simply put, Windows XP contains a mediocre firewall. This firewall is NO replacement for a dedicated software solution. Remember to use only one firewall at the same time.

            Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.

              Hi SD,

              I read your previous posts. I downloaded rkill (all 4 files), mbam, SuperAntispyware,  HJTInstall.
              I ran rkill first, but as with other exes, the windown opens and immediately closes. I do not know whether it ran correctly. Immediately i ran exeHelper. Please find the logs below.

              I tried to installed mbam, SuperAntispyware,  HJTInstall. But i could install mbam only. But after installation, I am not able to open and run the software..because of the same reason "Application cannot be executed. The file ......is infected". Please help me restore my computer.

              ============
              This log file is located at C:\rkill.log.
              Please post this only if requested to by the person helping you.
              Otherwise you can close this log when you wish.

                Bexcboo, please follow guidance by SD.  I am not a trained specialist in this field, but I have experience with cleaning student machines at work.  Here is my 2 cents:

                I would submit the following two suspicious files to Jotti.org to verify clean.  They don't look like legit apps to me.
                C:\WINDOWS\system32\PnkBstrA.exe
                C:\WINDOWS\system32\PnkBstrB.exe
                I see they could be related to Punkbuster, but since it is running as a service and shows unknown owner I would check it out.

                Also, it looks like you are running AVG version 8.  This is an outdated version.  I would upgrade AVG or uninstall it to switch to another excellent free alternative such as Avast or Antivir.

                Lastly, I would also include Spybot Search and Destroy in your toolkit.  Just make sure that when you install it you uncheck the "teatimer" option.  Be sure to update then perform immunizations prior to scanning with it.
