Hi all-This is my first post so I hope all goes well.
Today my computer became infected with a bogus virus warning pop-up. Avast detected two malware "bugs" and I deleted as instructed. However,upon reboot the bogus warnings reappeared on the desktop and avast agained warned of the same worms. I then disabled system restore,rebooted in safe mode,rescanned with avast and two spyware programs (Ewido and Super antispyware). Upon rebooting back to normal mode avast detected nothing as did the anti-spyware programs. However the original pop-up window is still on my desktop even though it now appears to be "dead" i.e. nothing happens when I click on it and it is not detected anywhere. Is it possible it is still active and hidden within the system somewhere and how do I get rid of that warning window?? Thanks so much in advance for any replies/help!!
