[Sussex] XP pain

[Mike Diack]

This is a variant of the Spydawn malware.
I had some luck cleaning it via Spyware Terminator (www.spywareterminator.com), but you should start by bootinhg from a clean Bart PE disc and running an anti virus from there (see: http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/)
(I have a BartPE disc with McAfee AntiVirus Enterprise 8.5 on a CD which I update from time to time).


DONT run the thing at the Spylocked page.

Go instead to this page and start looking for advice/help.

  Help needed.

   

  In windows XP, yes I know it serves me right, I have a symbol in the running program bar flashing between a yellow warning triangle and a blue circle with yellow X.

  This keeps giving me a system alert! which leads to an IE link to a spyware sales site at this address: http://www.spylocked.com/?aff=334

  AVG and AdAware show all clear and right click won't say what it is.

  There appears to be nothing in the prog menu relating to it.

  How can I get rid of this please.
