I keep getting messages that these are on my computer, also ones saying that there is illegal porn. How do I find them and get rid of them? Also I keep getting messages that say they are from microsoft about these intruders but I am too scared to click or run the programs as I dont know if they are for real or not.

Any suggestions as it is doing my head in, aaaggggghhh!

I had a trojan too that kept telling me my pc wasnt safe and that someone was trying to hack into it. When i tried to run the programme it was a rogue thingy called pc cleaner tryin to sell me stuff, apparently meant to be harmless but a pain in the arse none the same. run spyware on your pc and find out what it is.
soz run anti spy! i think spyware is something we need to avoid. needless to say computers n stuff arnt my bag. i like ya name tho warpig

Cheers forestboy. I thought there was somewhere on my computer that I could go to and delete these files but dont know where, as know sod all about computers. I do have the McPhee virus scanner thingy and so far so good up until now. I dont know where these came from as I only use reputable sites like Amazon and even then rarely but now I am being inundated with the stuff.

Will have a look at anti-Spy on t'internet.

Be careful wht you download. there are a thousand and one rogue anti-spyware programs out there.
This isnt one of them

Update it and run a full scan.

Eeeek! Just tried it mac70 but came up with 'buffer overload detected.......................program corrupted'.

Any ideas?
Sounds like you are quite badly infected there and will require more detailed assistance.

Then download and run this

When it asks to install HijackThis click yes.
It will produce two logs for you. Main.txt and extra.txt. (extra.txt will be minimised)
Start a thread in this room

and post both files there.

Oh dear, this is not good. I think I will leave it for mrwarpig to download etc, mac70, because as sure as shooting I will mess it up. Hmmmm, wonder if he will believe that I wasnt looking at porn!!!!!!

Many thanks for you help mac70, will get him to do it tonight and hopefully post tomorrow a story of success!

Use AVG Anti Virus and Ad Aware Spyware remover.

Thats all I use and have NEVER received a virus or trojan
