    I was infected with the XP2008 virus. I loaded the free version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and ran the program. It came up with abpot 45 giles marked trojan,rouge multiple, anf hijack wallpaper.

    I quarantines these programs and my computer now works fine and the anti spyware notice disappeared from the screen.
    My question is this seems less complicated than the proceedures I read in the forum. I have restared several times and all appears well.Am I too complacent or shold I assume all is well?

    Hi Jerry
    MBAM could have completely removed it. A lot of people here are infected with more then one infection, so the logs are a bit more complicated.

    I would run a On-line scan to make sure there is nothing lurking.

    Please do an online scan with Kaspersky WebScanner

    Click on "Accept" If your pop "“up blocker blocks any windows from opening.

    Click Run on the window that opens.
    Windows Vista users you must open the web browser using the Run as Administrator command.
    • The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
    • Under Scan on the left side.Click on My Computer
    • This will start the program and scan your system.
    • Click the "Scan Report" On the left side.
    • The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
    • Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
      • Click the Save Report As button, and in the Browse dialog box, type a name for the scan report file that you want to create and select its type Text file. Click OK to save the file.:
    • Save the text file to your desktop.
    • Copy and paste that information in your next post.

    Please post the Kaspersky results if it finds anything.
