Lately I have been getting pop-ups with nearly super powers from a site called "amaena," or sometimes "errorsafe." Mostly, I can close these without any trouble, but others in my family are less computer savvy, and someone hit 'download.'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, now I have a virus on my desktop called 'WinAntiVirusPro 2006.' It pretends to be a security feature, but it's obviously a big security threat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have found several sites that claim they know how to get rid of it, but I can't tell if these sites are trustworthy or not. So, my question is this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is the site 'Spywareadvisory.com' a trustworthy site from which I may download an "Amaena Detector" that will remove the problem? It was a "sponsored link" from google and looks legit, but there are typos in the text, and the virus I already have looks legit, too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any help appreciated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Okay, now I'm noticing that although my address bar says "Spywareadvisory.com," the site claims that it is a .org site. Even less trustworthy. Anyone know what else I can try to get rid of amaena or WinAntiVirus Pro or whatever it calls itself at the moment?

Can you do a HJT log please. Smells like vundo to me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMO none of them are trustworthy.

I've had something like this before, it's a pain. [asked me to download a video codec :/].

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Was a pain to get off, deffinitly post a HJT log. Also, I belive there is a fix for it lurking somewhere online, although I can not remember where.

Thanks for your responses, guys. Sorry it took me a lil while to respond.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, can you give me a quick explanation of what a HiJack This Log is (or a link to such an explanation)? I've heard about it but I don't know how to do it. I tried a quick search but couldn't find a tutorial. Just point me in the right direction and I'll figure it out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, I just performed a system restore to almost a month ago and the problem appears to be solved. The icon is no longer on my desktop; the viral program no longer seems to be running. But I can't believe it would be that easy, and the "WinAntiVirus Pro 2006" folder is still in my "C:\Program Files" folder. Anyone who knows what they're talking about, feel free to comment on what I may or may not have done by doing a system restore.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah, in case anyone needs to know, I'm running Windows XP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks

Download it from here http://www.download.com/HijackThis/3000 ... ag=lst-0-1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Install, Run it, and post when it finds.

Yeah, after that last post I looked around the forum for thirty seconds longer and found exactly what I needed. Shoulda done that in the first place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, this is after I performed a system restore. I wish I had done one of these before then.

Thanks all. :D

Since you've done a system restore then I think your alright now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The reason why you can still see the file is because system restore saves all your files too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can manually delete that file if you want.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Move HJT out of the temp. Save it to a new folder on your desktop.

If you still have problems, download Spybot S&D. Your restore should have killed all but the hardiest spyware :lol:
