I went back and restored the computer to a date 3 weeks prior to this infection when i knew the computer was running properly and did the system restore and this has seemed to have gotten rid of this virus. I don't have much experience when it comes to fixing computers, etc. but i have seen a few other people say that they did the system restore and it rid them of the xp antispyware 2009 so i thought i'd give it a try and so far so good. after the computer restarted i uninstalled the previous expired norton antivirus files and immediately installed a new norton antivirus so i hope this is the end of that. i told my father he had expired antivirus protection which is probably how he became vulnerable to this virus in the first place.

It has deleted all my display settings except its own "warning" sign/link...and its user agreement link which does NOT offer a "decline" option. I was able to quarantine and remove it with Webroot Spy Sweeper but it has so many files/traces that I haven't been able to delete it all. I've had it run for over 24 hours straight in the delete attempt and the farther it gets the slower it runs....I'm now going to try Spyware Doctor to see if it fares better. Hope to have a better result. This attacked my PC on startup without warning.

First thing that went was my sentimental screensaver photo of my 'ex' and I in a happier moment! SPYDOCTOR tells me I have NO viruses or infections after scanning 3 times, but by morning it is back again with its 2 pop ups. One on the toolbar "you have 3002 viruses" and a big pop up on main screen - both prevent typing. And the keyboard is freezing. HOW was I most likely to have picked it up? Could a chain email do it? a friend sent me a FORWARDED chain email which I tried to DELETE without opening. I hit the green TICK too firmly and opened by mistake. There were at least 30 addressees from all over the world within this CHAIN email and my heart sank. Also I was BROWSING on property agents sites and going into their links. Can anyone say if a CHAIN EMAIL can pass this virus as well as via browsing mentioned.? I am taking the laptop to a professional 'cleaner' as friends bringing round downloaded "HELP" on disks made it worse. Many thanx for essential tips from others on this website.

Just to let people know to check C:\Windows\Prefetch as well as it will have reference to some of the rogue random .exe's. Also search for .scr on all local hard drives as well and look for files that were added around the date of infection as it took me a while to get rid of the screensaver. If you are a sys admin make sure that if you logon as an admin to remove it from your profile as well as this thing seems to replicate it round everyones profile that uses the laptop. The all users reference will remove it but it will still be there in other directories i.e. admin etc etc. What a fun morning !! Just got this on couple of our laptops, and removed it successfully.

Usually it is drive-by-downloads, some freeware, infected web pages, but not through local network. Of couse, if you have not XP SP2, you are more vulnerable for direct attacks.
