I have been experiencing a nasty infection of some sort (computer and bodily but I doubt they are connected) It comes up as a fake antivirus program with lots of warning about how everything is infected. It disables files manager, trend micro, control panel, malwarebytes etc…
My computer:
Windows xp
ie7
(have most recent updates for all below)
trendmicro av
malwarebytes
spyware terminator
cc cleaner
(none of which have found anything except for cc cleaner)
I have run trend micro anf spyware terminator in safe mode with system restore turned off (could’t find malwarebytes or cc cleaner in safe mode - do they run there???) nuthin
I have an entry in cc cleaners startup manager for ahvusysguard.exe and I cannot find out any info on what it is - I suspect it is part of the nastyness.
Anyone have a clue.
I downloaded process explorer and ended any process I didn’t recognise and the nastyness seems to be temporarily stopped but I suspect it will come back next time I restart my computer.
