I went from the blue desktop background [ had the ctfomona bug virus ] to a red desktop background. The message says:
" Warning: Your computer is under spyware attack!
Your computer is infected by anonymous spyware program.
Operating System has several fatal errors due to spyware activity.
It is strongly recommended to install an antispyware software to eliminate all security vulnerabilities. Click HERE [ gives a link to a website ] to protect your PC ... "
Those words are in yellow and white. My desktop basically has a link sitting in the middle of it, so I make sure to avoid it because I think it's a false and bogus link.
Really, I'm unsure of what caused this new infection. I haven't downloaded anything recently.
I get messages saying that my computer is slow and it will be running slow because of the spyware activity. Also, when I tried to do a restore point, I tried three times and to no success. It said restoration incomplete.
I get a from my system tray saying: "Windows Security Manager - Your computer is running slowly due to malware activity."
Also, popups come on my computer that says "Spyware activity is found on your computer."
My Task Manager is also disabled. It says that task manager has been disabled by your administrator, but I am the administrator and I haven't went through my user accounts and disabled anything.
This infection just surfaced for me YESTERDAY so I'm trying to quickly get rid of it and not let it sit on my computer and further damage it.
Thanks to whoever takes the time and reads this.
