Hi there. Im new to the forum and im not got alot of knowledge about different kinds of viruses etc, so i apoligise in advance for my stupidity...
Anyway, i run Windows XP and i have recently noticed a new 'user' at the Windows start up screen, I_USER ADMIN. I have no idea what this is but i know this much, it shouldnt be there. Also, when im logged on as myself there will ocassionally be random music clips played out from no where?! What is that all about???
I was using AVGAntivirus but now it appears that i dont have any virus protection on my computer. There is a message that always pops up on the bottom right hand side of my desktop saying something like 'Click here to protect your pc....'
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, can anyone suggest a good security setup that i could use on my pc? Like what kind of things should i have, antivirus, spyware etc etc ?
Before we begin the cleanup process, it is important to do a little analysis first. We will analyze your computer with a tool called HijackThis.
Please download the HijackThis zip file. Save it onto a convenient place in your computer, and then unzip the file.
Rename HijackThis(.exe) to scanner(.exe).
Next, run scanner(.exe). A window will pop up.
? Click on the button which says Main Menu, then Do a system scan and save a logfile.
? Please wait for the scan to be completed.
? After the scan has completed, a text window will pop up. Please post the contents of this window here.
This will also be located at hijackthis(.txt) in the same folder that HijackThis was originally saved.
NOTE:: Do not fix anything using HijackThis, as this may also damage legitimate components of your computer.
