    So a couple days ago I started getting these red and white pop warning messages telling me I have abebot and trojandownloader.xs (not at the same time.) I also get a warning saying I need to fix my registry. If I click on any of these warnings I either get directed to a page to buy anti-spyware technology, or it starts to try and install pc-cleaner.

    I have done all the steps suggested in the Windows XP cleanup procedures, and while it has removed some spyware from my computer, these pop-ups keep appearing.

    I have attached my logs to this message. Please, please, help me. Until I get this fixed, I can't work on my thesis. And until I finish my thesis, I can't graduate.

    Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

    Now download The Avenger by Swandog469, and save it to your Desktop.

    * Extract avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop
    * Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
    * Do not change any check box options!!
    * Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it into the Input script here: part of the window:

    * Now click the Execute button.
    * Click Yes to the prompt to confirm you want to execute.
    * Click Yes to the Reboot now? question that will appear when Avenger finishes running.
    * Your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
    * A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt and it will popup for you to view when you login after reboot.


    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this and also attach the log from Avenger.
