Okay, I'll start off saying I was in the middle of a conversation on Skype; out of nowhere this fake scanner pops up and starts scanning. Well it's not the first one I have seen, so I stopped the scanning process quickly after scanning with both AVG 9 and then SUPERanti-SPYWARE. I had Trojan viruses and ad ware tracking stuff and malware. I scanned it a couple times after that to keep getting the stuff off. Eventually after a good 5-6 restarts and 1 successful restore point to a day earlier when it was working has caused me to land on this site. Very thankful for it too. This computer is NOT infected, I have 2 computers, both with Windows XP, SP2. I can't get on-line with the other computer at all. I'm not sure why because I have scanned it multiple times and kept rebooting. So I'm stuck and need help.
I have AVG 9.0, payed for. And I also have SuperAnti-Spyware. I use them together. Not sure if that is good...
I had recently downloaded an old movie off a peer sharing thing, which I know is bad but I was very determined to see it.
- I removed the peer 2 peer software and erased the movie.
What I need help with because I am not sure if I was clear enough...
- Removing / Fixing what ever it is that is keeping me from getting on-line on my other computer.
- Help preventing another problem like this again.
