I have had problems with my computer since buying it from a friend. I do have System Suite 8 (Avanquest) security software and it has (I thought!) removed alot of spyware, adware, and a couple of Trojans that were apparently already on it! But within the past month I started recieving notification of Port Scan attempts from my firewall; they were all blocked. A couple of weeks ago my husband was on the computer and when I logged on the next day their was this Spyware threat balloon that kept popping up on my task bar, the desktop background had been changed (saying spyware threat had been detected on my computer and to click link for full system scan, which I DID NOT do!) Also kept getting these windows popping up on my desktop saying WinSec Alert: Trojan Found or Spyware found and would give various names of these Viruses. Also anytime I would go online a pop up would re-route me to a (bogus) WinSec Update site, trying to get me 2 download and/or buy their product. I of course did NONE of the requests, but I could NOT get rid of this crap on my computer; ran full virus & spyware scans with System Suite, and even downloaded Windows Live one care and ran full scan with it several times (it picked up a couple of things and supposedly quarentined them). No luck until today that is, I found your site and did all of the steps recommended by "Evil". My computer background is back to normal, no more annoying balloons, pop-ups etc. I just want to make sure that everything really is "Clean". Here are the logs as requested, if there is anything else I need to do to ensure that my computer is FINALLY clean and clear please let me know. You have already been so much help, all I can say is THANK YOU , THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!
