dpac 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2006 I have a message appearing from an icon on the bottom right hand toolbar. "! System Instrusion Detected!" Dangerous infection was detected on your PC. The system will now download and install the most efficient antimalware program...bla bla". It goes off to a website Spyware Strike which basically only allows you to buy the full version. I don't want to. Have run full virus check with Adware Personal and Spybot. Problem persists. I am running XP. I can close the popup window which appears with the message, but within seconds it reappears. I have tried to use something called "Anti-Puper" to no avail.

Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted January 28, 2006 Ewww. First, try some of the anti-virus and trojan links in the pinned topic here. Spyware checkers don't stop everything. Make sure to run a firewall after you do that, also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carnival 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2006 My friend had something similar if not the exact same thing. He had Adaware, Spybot, and AVG. I tried a couple diff Anti-virus/trojan progs, and webroot, none of those found it. But he was ok with a reformat, so thats what happened. I only messed with it for 30 mins. I tried to take it out of the start up menu, didn't work. and I couldn't find the process associated with it, so I gave up...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2006 Chances are, if you look through your task manager, you'll be able to find it. If not, and if it loads immediately with Windows, go to start --> run --> type in "msconfig" and go to the far right tab and deselect EVERYTHING. Then, try enabling things one by one until it comes back up. There, you'll know what process it is that's causing the problem, and it will tell you where on your hard drive the program is. Then, get some spyware solutions that will actually stop this sort of shit, get a better antivirus, and keep windows updated next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
