Hi,

I'm a newbie when it comes to spyware removal. I have AVG Free running in the background, and I have Adaware and I just installed and ran Spybot S&D.

They all found viruses / spyware, and they removed them, and after a reboot they re-ran and removed files that they couldn't remove during the initial scan.

So after about two hours, I'm frustrated in that I load IE, and it goes to about:blank, and then http://www.syssecuritysite.com/. Once it gets to the website, a popup comes up saying that my computer is infected with W32.Myzor.FK@yf - or at least it tells me what the virus is and does.

I don't have HjT. Should I download it and try it, or will this spyware just never end.

Please, if someone could give me the steps to ridding my computer of this spyware, I would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks, Jordan

Ok, I downloaded and ran HjT. I think this is going to be helpful:

Cool, I'll try that... thanks.

Also, I notice now that every time I boot my computer, Window's Explorer opens up to my c:\windows\system32 directory.

I'll let you know if the above two programs worked.

I went to the HijackThis.de website, and actually posted my log to the site. It told me what to fix and/or delete in HjT, so I did, and now I'm not hijacked anymore!

Well... except that when my computer boots up, it still brings up the c:\windows\system32 folder. I can't find any entries in win.ini or system.ini, or in the programs - startup.

Any ideas how to stop Windows Explorer from coming up at boot time?

Thanks again, Jordan
