IE Defender HELP

When navigating in the windows environment (the problem is not presenting in
other programs), clicks on links or any other page movement generates an
enduring error message that is masked like Windows software. The message
says: you computer has been infected by some unknown Trojan horse. It’s
dangerous for your system. Critical Files may be lost. Click OK to download
the antispiware program (IE Defender). When you click on the ok, your page
is re-directed to the IE defender site and your system is supposedly scanned.
The scan shows several “virus†that you have. They are: (with the Microsoft
Red X shield) Trojan.BetaDivX.Clicker; Trojan.BetaDivX.Temp;
Trojan.BetaDivX.Backdoor. When you click on remove on that screen, you are
directed to pay for antispyware, which I have (Symantec, the blockers on IE,
the blockers on the customized toolbar, Windows Defender (all of which
indicated that the Trojan , et al. didn’t exists. What is going on? Step by
Step Instructions would be greatly appreciated. (I’m using XP on my HP and
this problem is getting on my GD nerves.) Thanks in advance.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with
assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or other appropriate forums for review
by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

in regards to what
has been discovered,
seemingly your system
is being exposed to
dangerous code and
you should try to figure
out how.

perhaps you have a
slew of antivirals installed
other than what you have
mentioned and none of
them are actually working
anymore.

uninstall symantec
and defender and
then see if your
system becomes
functional again.
