I was downloading a file from Megaupload today. I left the room briefly and returned to find "Antivirus Soft" in full swing. Attempts to disable it via Task Manager were blocked by the "Security Warning" telling me the task manager file was infected. As I sat in a mild panic a large amount of Windows Security warnings popped up, accompanied by the bogus "Security Warnings".
I attempted to follow the instructions elsewhere on this forum for getting rid of Antivirus Soft, using rkill and MBAM and Safe Mode, etc. However, I have been unable to update MBAM (error code 732, whatever that is), and it found very little in the way of infection (three suspect registry keys were found):
Registry Values Infected:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\forceclassiccontrolpanel (Hijack.ControlPanelStyle) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
Registry Data Items Infected:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\FirewallDisableNotify (Disabled.SecurityCenter) -> Bad: (1) Good: (0) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\UpdatesDisableNotify (Disabled.SecurityCenter) -> Bad: (1) Good: (0) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
A subsquent MBAM scan found nothing.
I decided to post here, so I began by downloading and running DDS and gmer. However, I could not run gmer. I got a dialog box stating that "gmer has encountered a problem and needs to close". So I can only post the DDS logs.
I use Windows XP Home. The "Antivirus Soft" malware loads up with Windows Startup, with a small green icon in the taskbar. I am using rkill to stop the process.
This is my first significant infection on this 7-month-old PC. Any help on how to proceed is greatly appreciated.
