    Win32.propo problem

    My notebook started out 2 days ago with a Java.Shinwow.W & Java.ByteVerify!exploit problem, but now that I've researched it (still not understanding what to do tho), I come back the 2nd day and I've got a message from supposedly from Yahoo's security window saying there is a Win32.propo virus. It keeps launching and another window comes up saying there is a problem with Internet Explorer... they won't stop coming, I close them out and they pop up again. I've tried going to Microsoft's security update center and that was just luck that I was able to get it open, however, I could not click on that window without the other annoying windows popping up in front of it. It won't come forward so i can see what I'm doing. What a mess and I'm too unexperienced with this. Any suggestions other than throwing the notebook out the window?

    Welcome to DAL,

    Create a new folder in your C: Drive
    Name it C:\HJT or HijackThis and move the HijackThis.exe file in it.
    It's best for this tool NOT TO be located in your Desktop or in a TEMP folder.
    This way you can undo any changes if something goes wrong

    Download the new version of hijackthis here:
