I was using the internet when I got a warning from Uniblue Spy Eraser that there was an un-commanded program trying to change the registry. So I clicked Block immediately. However, a program calling itself WinAntiVirus Pro 2007 has tried to instal itself on my computer. I will not click the scan now button as I do not belive this to be a legitimate program as it is so aggressive! I cannot now run my computer as I keep getting a pop up that says:-
"Windows Security Alert Warning Potemtial Spyware Operation! Your computer is making unauthorized copies of your system and Internet Files. Run full scan now to pervent (ACTUAL SPELLING!!!!) any unathorised access to your files! Click YES to download spyware remover..." note spelling of "unathorised"!!!!!
I am using my laptop to send this message as my desk top machine is virtually unusable. This is the most aggressive interference I have ever come across.
I don't know if I can run Hijack this - I will try. Ths misspelling in the warning reinforces my belief that this is some form of infection.
Any ideas what I should do next?
I use Steganos AV, Windows Firewall, Uniblue Spy Eraser etc,
It also appears that this program is able to shut down my Steganos AV software!
How do I remove this pest!
When I switch the machine on it boots OK and then freezes - I can get the icons and taskbar bar back by starting a program in Windows Task Manager.
I managed to get a screen grab of the program and Warning message - attached.
I have got Steganos AV to run and have completed a full scan - it found and removed threats.
Also, I have noticed that I get the message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact yout system Administrator" This appears if I try to open either the Set Program Access and Defaults or try to restart Steganos through winods security panel (a warnign appeared in hte task bar to say Steganos was disabled!
Steganos has completed partial scan : ~freesetup.exe reported as Trojan downloader Win32 Agent.alr
9XRAGGUI\in[1]1.htm as dangerous program exploit.VBS.Phel.do
And that object could not be disinfected and that this is postponed
Martin
EDIT: I have managed to run Steganos (Uses Kapersky) and it found and removed a number of threats.
Unfortunately I have difficulty restoring my desktop and task bar. I can open Windows task manager and open progs using this route. When I open a prog sometimes the desktop restores and I can work normally.
Unfortunately the spoof windows alert has reapppeared and I don't know how to remove it.

Reason: Added comment on Steganos, Added comments so far on virus found
Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click OK.
Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HiJackThis log.
Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove.
In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above instructions starting from "Click the Scan for Vundo button." when VundoFix appears at reboot.
* Doubleclick the drweb-cureit.exe file and Allow to run the express scan
* This will scan the files currently running in memory and when something is found, click the yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it. This is only a short scan.
* Once the short scan has finished, mark the drives that you want to scan.
* Select all drives. A red dot shows which drives have been chosen.
* Click the green arrow at the right, and the scan will start.
* Click 'Yes to all' if it asks if you want to cure/move the file.
* When the scan has finished, look if you can click next icon next to the files found:
* If so, click it and then click the next icon right below and select Move incurable as you'll see in next image:
This will move it to the %userprofile%\DoctorWeb\quarantaine-folder if it can't be cured. (this in case if we need samples)
* After selecting, in the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top, click file and choose save report list
* Save the report to your desktop. The report will be called DrWeb.csv
* Close Dr.Web Cureit.
* 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 you saved previously in your next reply. You can use Notepad to open the DrWeb.cvs report.
Thank you for your reply, I will do as you say. Because of business committments I will not be able to get on my machine with a clear mind until Wednesday.
Having learnt my lesson I will ensure that I set up with all install privileges in an administrator account. A bit of a nuisance for a single user machine, but hopefully will help guard against this in the future.
I have run Steganos twice and it reports that the machine is clear of virus/dangerous items. Unfortunately I do not have my desktop back and therefore have to run everything through Windows Task Manager.
Thank you again
Martin

I ran Vundo and it reported that there were no infections.

Double click SDFix.exe and choose Install to extract it to its own folder on the Desktop. Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :
Restart your computer
After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
Choose your usual account.
In Safe Mode, right click the SDFix.zip folder and choose Extract All,
Open the extracted folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
Type Y to begin the script.
It will remove the Trojan Services then make some repairs to the registry and prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
Your system will take longer that normal to restart as the fixtool will be running and removing files.
When the desktop loads the Fixtool will complete the removal and display Finished, then press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
Finally open the SDFix folder on your desktop and copy and paste the contents of the results file Report.txt back onto the forum.
Also...
1. Download this file - COMBOFIX
2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it will produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply
Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.

So far brilliant - the computer starts so quickly now, I must have had this nonsense hanging around for ages.
What I plan to do is clean up my system even more. I have bought a 500GB Spinpoint SATA drive and am considering moving my current drive into the slave position (to replace the one already there) and doing a clean install of windows Xp. However, I will finish cleaning everything up first (and making a space in my current workload before I proceed). When that is done I will remove most priviledges from my working account and only allow installs via the administrator account!
One reason for this is that I have two important programs that no longer work and I need to get them going (Mathcad and Truspace 7).
I will be making your proposed changes this evening.
As an aside I notice that typing into these forums (I have a couple of work related ones I use) I can now type much faster. Previously, I found that I would type faster than the text could respond causing all sorts of typos etc. - so something has definately changed for the better!
Kind regards
Martin
