Insecure Internet pop up

Insecure Internet Security warning.
And now: Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing process or restart your system.So,now can't even get on firefox.

I have windows xp 3,after updating to 3 is when the original problems with FF started.I have ran Malwarebytes,and found nothing.I had someone look at my event logs and he thought it maybe a problem with sp3?Also :"Another thing you might try is asking your internet provider to change your IP address. There was a lot of warning messages about reaching your connection limit for TCP/IP. In XP that is 10 connections at one time."

I don't have these pop ups with IE.But running IE has become so extremly slow. My computer is VERY old,at least 10 years,and has been restored several times.I'm not sure what my next step is,or what other info you may need,any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kelly

Do the alerts look like the example shown in Secure and NonSecure Items Warning Message or the example shown here?

Edited by quietman7, 09 June 2009 - 10:49 AM.

The alerts are the ones in the second link."Insecure Internet Activity"

Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (v1.37) and save it to your desktop.

MBAM may "make changes to your registry" as part of its disinfection routine. If using other security programs that detect registry changes (ie Spybot's Teatimer), they may interfere or alert you. Temporarily disable such programs or permit them to allow the changes.

• Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
• Double-click on mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
• When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.
• When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:
  • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
• Then click Finish.

MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan.

• If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself. Press the OK button to close that box and continue.
• If you encounter any problems while downloading the definition updates, manually download them from here and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install.

On the Scanner tab:

• Make sure the "Perform Quick Scan" option is selected.
• Then click on the Scan button.
• If asked to select the drives to scan, leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.
• The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top. It may take some time to complete so please be patient.
• When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".
• Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.

Back at the main Scanner screen:

• Click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.
• Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
• When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad.
• The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
• Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply. Be sure to post the complete log to include the top portion which shows MBAM's database version and your operating system.
• Exit MBAM when done.

Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be asked to reboot your computer so MBAM can proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

Now rescan again with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware but this time perform a Full Scan in normal mode and check all items found for removal. Don't forgot to check for database definition updates through the program's interface (preferable method) before scanning and to reboot afterwards. Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware. When done, click the Logs tab and copy/paste the contents of the new report in your next reply.

It's worse then it was before as for anything opening up.It was about 2 to 3 minutes just for this reply box to open.Malwarebytes also took an extremly along time to load,and I tried the ATF cleaner several times and it would not respond for the main one.I was however able to clear firefox.I went back and tried doing it one by one and all it would clear was the history,the rest said file not removed.I updated SuperAntiSpyware and once that was done when minimizing a page it clears from top to bottom,very slowly and more often then not it just dumps me out of IE all together.Needless to say I'm even more frustrated.Thanks for taking the time to hep.

Note: The file will be randomly named (i.e. 5mkuvc4z.exe).

Reboot your computer in "Safe Mode" using the F8 method. To do this, restart your computer and after hearing your computer beep once during startup (but before the Windows icon appears) press the F8 key repeatedly. A menu will appear with several options.

• The Express scan will automatically begin.
  (This is a short scan of files currently running in memory, boot sectors, and targeted folders).
• If prompted to download the Full version Free Trial, just ignore and click the X to close the window.
• If an infected object is found, you will be prompted to move anything that cannot be cured. Click Yes to All. (This will move any detected files to the C:\Documents and Settings\userprofile\DoctorWeb\Quarantine folder if they can't be cured)

• After the Express Scan is finished, put a check next to Complete scan to scan all local disks and removable media.
• In the top menu, click Settings > Change settings, and uncheck "Heuristic analysis" under the "Scanning" tab, then click Apply, Ok.
• Back at the main window, click the green arrow "Start Scanning" button on the right under the Dr.Web logo.
• Please be patient as this scan could take a long time to complete.
• When the scan has finished, a message will be displayed at the bottom indicating if any viruses were found.
• Click Select All, then choose Cure > Move incurable.
• In the top menu, click file and choose save report list.
• Save the DrWeb.csv report to your desktop.
• Exit Dr.Web Cureit when done.
• Important! Reboot your computer because it could be possible that files in use will be moved/deleted during reboot.
• After reboot, post the contents of the log from Dr.Web in your next reply. (You can use Notepad to open the DrWeb.cvs report)

If you cannot boot into safe mode, then perform your scan in normal mode. Be aware, this scan could take a long time to complete..

How is your computer running now? Are there any more reports/signs of infection?

Start up is still slow as well as doing anything with IE.After doing the last scan FF now opens showing a pop up message over a blank screen that reads such as:
Opening

You have chosen to open
firefox
Which is a text/xxx
from http://yahoo.com
what should firefox do with this file
open
down them all
save file
do this automatically for files from now on

When I clicked on to open with firefox it will bring me to the page after downloading a file Lg8LmYVw.part (for yahoo)
Opening up this site downloaded 1PmTzujw.part.And others for each site.It also opens as a new tab.I'm now back on IE,so can't say if the original Insecure Internet alert is still there.
