    After searching for a particular download, i found something that looked legit, and when i downloaded it, it turned out to be a virus/malware.

    I have Windows OneCare and after opening the downloaded program, i got a notice that it was a "tool ". So, i clicked 'Clean All' and it did, i deleted the program. Then, i noticed two icons in my system tray that were never there. And like every minute i get 2 pop-ups.

    Shown here:

    If i click the alert bubble, it loads a site, that is a fake virus scan site, and then after the fake virus scan, it says "click here to remove virus" and when i do that, OneCare pops up and says its a tool.

    Hi eklipz
    Welcome to WindowsBBS.

    Please do the following in the order given.

    Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM) from here or here and save the file to your desktop.

    Double click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
    • Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
    • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
    • Once the program has loaded, select 'Perform Quick Scan', then click Scan.
    • The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
    • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
    • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
    • When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart. (See Note below)
    • The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
    • Post the entire report in your next reply.

    Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts. Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.

    Now this.

    • Download RSIT by random/random and save it to your desktop.
    • Double click RSIT.exe to start the tool.
    • At the disclaimer, please use the drop down box to select 3 months for the file/folder search, then click Continue.
    • If prompted by your firewall to allow RSIT to access the internet, please allow it. It will be updating yourr version of HijackThis.
    • When the scan completes it will open a log named log.txt maximized, and a log named info.txt minimized.
    • Please post the contents of log.txt here in your next reply along with the MBaM log.

    Thanks
    Geri
