Guest sportsaholic52 Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 I keep getting this warning message from a yellow triangle at the bottom of my desk top.Windows security alert.warning!potential spyware operation.Your computer is making unauthorized copies of your system and internet files.run full scan now to prevent any unauthorized access to your files.click here to downoad spyware remover.I'm believing now that this is the spyware because I did download and pay for system washer and the message comes now saying download system doctor.I keep clicking no but every 15 minutes it still come on.I ran my win antivirus scan but that doesnt get rid of it.I tried system restore but it wont let me.Most things I try to do a message says restrictions,this operation has been cancelled due to restriction in effect on this computer,please contact your system administrator.I'm believing most of these messages arent even from windows.what can I do.

Guest Engel Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 You could try a restore point to see if it brings the system back to how it was before you did whatever you did. Doesn't always work for applications but won't hurt to try. http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&q=restore - -- --- "sportsaholic52" wrote: > How do you make a full recovery.I'm not an expert on troubleshooting. > > "Engel" wrote: > > > Hello sportsaholic52, > > > > I suggest to make a full recovery of the computer. > > > > Good luck > > -- > > > > "sportsaholic52" wrote: > > > > > I keep getting this warning message from a yellow triangle at the bottom of > > > my desk top.Windows security alert.warning!potential spyware operation.Your > > > computer is making unauthorized copies of your system and internet files.run > > > full scan now to prevent any unauthorized access to your files.click here to > > > downoad spyware remover.I'm believing now that this is the spyware because I > > > did download and pay for system washer and the message comes now saying > > > download system doctor.I keep clicking no but every 15 minutes it still come > > > on.I ran my win antivirus scan but that doesnt get rid of it.I tried system > > > restore but it wont let me.Most things I try to do a message says > > > restrictions,this operation has been cancelled due to restriction in effect > > > on this computer,please contact your system administrator.I'm believing most > > > of these messages arent even from windows.what can I do.

Guest sportsaholic52 Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 thanks but I said that in my first message.I tried picking a date,I tried a date they have in bold on the calendar,every time it starts going,an error message comes on saying it had to shut down the computer,then I ran an error check on the disks and there were quite a few errors saying different programs had wrong incorrect percentages or something like that and windows corrected it.

Guest Dwarf Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Do you have a reputable anti-spyware program installed on your machine? The ones that I recommend are Spybot Search and Destroy 1.4 from http://www.safer-networking.org and Ad-Aware from http://www.lavasoft.com (use the freeware version). If you are able to, I suggest that you download and run both of these programs to see if they can solve the problem. Make sure that when you run them you download the latest definitions. If you are running Vista, then Ad-Aware will not work as it is not yet Vista-ready, but Sbybot Search and Destroy 1.4 does work.

Guest Peter Foldes Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Have you followed all the instructions. Your Anti Virus will not get rid of the Smitfraud trojan. Some more reading before you continue. http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware It also has instructions for David Lipmans Multi AV.
