Burn BitDefender, or another program listed at the link below, to a CD
(using a working machine) and test the infected machine with it.
BitDefender also has a Rootkit checker on the Linux Desktop; run it if
you think that's the problem:

Download the executable rather than the .iso image, if one is
available.. it prompts you to insert a CD and burns the file, no problem.

Then run these:

Malwarebytes© Corporation

SuperAntispyware

If your internet is still working, you can try using a free virus scan
from Trend Micro called "House Call"

Good Luck

You are infected with a piece of malware called "Windows antivirus
Pro." You can find instructions to get rid of it here,
www.2-spyware.com/remove-windows-antivirus-pro.html or at other sites
Google will find for you.

NB: If you had no anti-virus application installed or the subscription had
expired *when the machine first got infected* and/or your subscription has
since expired and/or the machine's not been kept fully-patched at Windows
Update, don't waste your time with any of the below: Format & reinstall
Windows. A Repair Install will NOT help!

1. See if you can download/run the MSRT manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx

NB: Run the FULL scan, not the QUICK scan! You may need to download the
MSRT on a non-infected machine, then transfer MRT.EXE to the infected
machine and rename it to SCAN.EXE before running it.

2. [WinXP ONLY!! =>] Run the Windows Live Safety Center's 'Protection' scan
(only!) in Safe Mode with Networking, if need be:
http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/howsafe.htm

3. Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting requested logs
in an appropriate forum, not here.

If these 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.

Use my Remove-it software, it will remove that malware from your system.
Choose yes for all options when prompted. Download it here

This is not the MVP site despite its fake logos.

The correct MVP site is http://www.mvps.org/.

No.... there is no "virus" involved at all. Learn the difference
between a virus, a trojan, a worm, a root kit.... nomenclature is
important. Imagine if your doctor didn't know the difference between a
virus and a bacteria...

Not really; you think it's important to know the difference between a
virus, trojan, worm, rootkit (and so on), as do I - but I _would_ have
somewhat less regard for a doctor who said "a bacteria". OK, it's not
as important as knowing the difference between one and a virus, but
it's the sort of attention to detail that, if missed, would make me
wonder what else the doctor might miss.

You must be seriously bored today. I have heard a number of quite good
doctors say "a bacteria"... it is acceptable, because they are referring
to a group or family of bacteria. Biologists may talk about a single
bacterium, but they don't just occur singly in an infection where a
doctor deals with them. A doctor may refer to the group, such as staph
or strep or MRSA, as a bacteria.

Your quibbling over the inclusion of the "a" is what is called being a
grammar nazi.

:-( I'm really cringing at reading that, even though I wasn't in
WWII.
I think it would be good if we'd all refrained from using that term so
flippantly, as occasionally seems to be in vogue these days, as there
really was no humor in it for those who have suffered its legacy, many
of whom are still around.

Apparently you aren't familiar with the humorous allusion the Seinfeld's
'soup nazi'. The term nazi applies to far more than just WWII.

No I'm not. But regardless of Seinfield, I stand by what I said.

If Seinfield (who produced the TV series) is too young to "get it"
(and I guess he is, since he was born in 1954), I can't help that. We
all know, or rather SHOULD know, what that term connotates. And
platitudes don't cut it. There is nothing comedic about it.

Your opinion. "Nazi" is not a bad term.
