Hi
I dont know where else to go with this problem, I hope you can help. As of earlier today I got a warning from Windows Xp Security Center asking if I wanted to block a suspicious malware called Spyware.ISpynow. I also noted that Windows Firewall had been deactivated automatically. Shortly after, firefox closed down and my computer restarted, but freezing shortly after loading desktop.
I rebooted and selected "use last setting known to work" and go access to my desktop without my computer freezing up. When I opened Firefox I was directed to a homepage stating "insecure connection, threat of virus attack" with two options, one to continue unsecured in which I would get to google (my start page) and the other would direct me to website for perfect defender 2009 which seemed too suspicious to me. I instead scheduled a boot scan with avast and rebooted. It identified 4 files inside windows which I deleted and resumed windows, however, I still get what I suspect are false pop-ups about Spyware.ISpynow and both firefox and explorer terminates seemingly random after a mere few pages, initially, still advising me that Im navigating with an insecure connection.
Googling Spyware.ISpynow or Perfect defender 2009 brings up quite a few forums with people describing the exact same problems, but no solutions. Please help!
