    Hello, a couple of nights ago I somehow downloaded a programme called Antivirus XP 2008 onto my computer by accident; my screen went blue with a big message in the middle that says "WARNING - spyware detected on your computer - Install an antivirus or spyware remover to clean your computer" I've always used AVG but it didn't seem to deal with the problem so I invested in the lastest McAfee download thinking it would find the problem and delete it.

    I've scanned it several times and it keeps telling me I have windows/system32/blphcrkkj0erbr.scr but I can't seem to delete it either manually or through McAfee. McAfee keeps recognizing it as Joke-Bluescreen.exe.

    I've done a few searches on the web and seen that other people have had the same problem but I can't find out how to get rid of it. If anyone could offer any advice I would be most grateful!

    Thanks,
    Jonny

    Hi peterpan,
    Welcome to Major Geeks!


    Please go through the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST and attach the requested logs when you finish. You may find that just running these scans will give you some relief and after you attach the logs to us, we can look for any files which still need to be removed from your computer.

    Thanks.

    Many thanks for your reply,

    As it goes, McAfee seems to have been ale to delete the file. If the problem comes back I'll go through what you suggested.

    I tend to doubt that McAfee has properly cleaned up all traces of this infection. I strongly advise you to run the READ & RUN ME FIRST and attach the requested logs.
