This notebook had antiviruspro2009 running.
I found this and removed.

I still have a red circle with white cross in the task bar that pop ups spyware detection messages.

I have tried to install all the above software with no luck! (I have also looked for Spyaxe and spyfalcon and found nothing)

If I double click the install of any of these programs nothing happens. The HDD buzzs for a moment and the popup appears telling me there is an infection again.

The browser also appears to be hijacked. Clicking the link from the search results of a google search, you are directed to anti virus or spyware sites.

Attached is the results of a month scan of the Random/random program. I hope it has some clues as to what is going on!

Thanks for your time!

Hello Sundavis,

Thanks for getting back to me on this. I have sorted the problem out already!
I read many other forum posts on this site and found a suggestion to re-name the SD-Fix that I couldn't install. (Or any other malware software)

This did work and let me finally run some tools. (Many times)

It looks like the red-circle pop-up messages were coming from a rootkit. SD-Fix, anti-malware, adaware, avg and house-call with trend. Finally looks like it is gone!

Thanks again for your time,

Bigbillyk
