Help please
« on: January 08, 2011, 10:10:24 PM »
I have windows vista and avast installed. Have two user accounts created an admin and guest
Something/ virus or spyware is when I log on admin user. Suddenly a script start running:

It says your compuer is infected with spyware and following window shows up, seems like its checking for virus in my computer. Its heading is: "security tools". I ran avast fast scan and detailed scan on first scan it found 5 infections. which i deleted.

But now i cannot go online with firefox or chrome and above mentioned script keeps running. I can log on and go online from the user account "guest". I ran a detailed scan with avast and drcure found no virus/ spyware. I cannot do scan with drcureit from admin account.

Can somebody please help me clean whatever it is and what is going on?

Thank you for your help and attention

Hi immi, welcome to the forum :)

Would it be this that is doing the 'scanning'?

If so, the instructions should help.
