Hi Guys,
First of all, thanks for this forum, i've been using it for a while now to sort out virus problems, but i think i've gotten myself in a bit deeper than i can fix by gleaning off of other posts.
I've had problems with Antivirus XP 2008 (never installed it) in the past, and i followed the advice given in other posts to get rid of it (it was a while ago so i can't remember the exact order):
1. Ran a boot time scan with Avast!
2.Installed and ran malewarebytes
3. Installed Advanced system care and ran that to "clean up"
This seemed to work great, and my computer ran well until today when i started it up , and all hell broke loose.
It started off with popups saying that maleware had been detected, and that avast was blocking acess to malicious sites.I'd click move to chest, and another one would just pop up (sorry i can't get the file names, keep reading) Also, it replaced my desktop background with one saying that i was infected with a virus, and should buy some software to fix it (typical of antivirus XP 2008). I managed to schedule a boot time scan and restarted. When i started the computer again the same thing happened, except avast alsofound a rootkit, and finally it got to a file called LEHETOJO.DLL in the system32 folder and when i tried to move it to the chest, it said avast couldn't process it. After cycling through that a few times, exporer dissapeared leaving just the avast warning message up. Finally, i decided to try re-booting. when the computer started up again it gets to the windows XP login screen, and when i click on my username to log in, it will log in, flash the desktop (the correct one) and then log me back out again.
I've unplugged my computer from the internet, and now i'm stuck
I'm running windows XP, and i'm not sure which version of avast! i'm running.
Any help would be appreciated
