    I am looking for help.

    I have a Dell PC
    Pent III 450 MHz
    512 RAM
    XP Home Edition SP2

    This started with a Browser Hijack and an alternating Yellow question mark and a blue circle with a yellow X in my system tray. From this I get a yellow balloon telling me about spyware activity and click this baloon to download all available antispyware etc.

    I did all of the procedures in Run and Read me First.

    Here are the first three attachments. Hopefully I can complete the rest quickly and send the next post.

    Uninstall the following:
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 1
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 5
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
    Viewpoint Media Player

    Delete the following folders:
    C:\Program Files\VirusBurster

    Install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 10 available from Sun Microsystems. Uninstall all older versions of Java on your computer, before installing the latest version of Java.

    Now run CCleaner. If you have Windows XP delete the contents of C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch.

    Then, as an added precaution, Go to Start -> Run and type: cleanmgr and then click OK. Make sure the boxes for these are checked:
    Temporary Files
    Temporary Internet Files
    Recycle Bin

    And Click OK.

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    • If we used Pocket Killbox during your cleanup, do the below
      • Run Pocket Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups
    • If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    • If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Go back to step 8 of the READ & RUN ME to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    • After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
    Safe surfing!
