    My Windows update button down by the time stamp has turned into a red X, and a pop-up keeps jumping out of it telling me I am infected, and if I go near the pop-up it starts installing some software, and I searched and saw that this is called pesttrap and I need spyhunter to remove it, but is that true?
    Thanks my friend!

    First uninstall the old Sun Java version: J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2
    I'm going to post two sets of instructions below. Each will be enclosed in separate Quote boxes. Make sure to complete the first one 100% before moving on to the second one.

    ATTACH THE FIRST LOG NOW BEFORE CONTINUING OR YOU WILL OVERWRITE IT!!!! And then immediately continue on to the below steps.

    How are things working now?

    Those files have nothing to do with you! Have you attach rapport.txt here at some other time in the past? If so, is this the exact same file? Put it in a ZIP file if necessary and attach it. Do the same for the second step.

    Hi mister~
    Well, I went through all the steps and the red X thing and pop-up are gone.
    As to the file that I sent the link to,
    when I tried to attach my file here using attach below, it said that there were upload errors, but that I could unattach by going to that link on the Majorgeek site, namely: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/profile...ditattachments
    I went and that appeared to be my file...
    It's not I take it?
    hmmmm.
    I'll try to attach the before first.
    BTW, it did not: The tool will also check if wininet.dll is infected. If it is infected and a clean version is found, you will be prompted to replace the infected wininet.dll with the clean file. Answer Yes to the question "Replace infected file ?" by typing Y and hit Enter.

    A reboot may be needed to finish the cleaning process, if you computer does not restart automatically please do it yourself manually. BUT Reboot in Safe Mode.

    it instead went straight to this:The tool will create a log named rapport.txt in the root of your drive, eg: Local Disk C: or partition where your operating system is installed.

    Now reboot into normal mode and attach this new rapport.txt log here.


    so. I will try to attach before and after here now.
    After has a 2 infront of it.
    Thanks so much~

    As long as all your problems are resolved, you don't need to worry about the other log.

    However note that these problems often come bundled with other malware that will not be removed or fixed by just running SmitFraudFix. You should consider running all steps in the READ & RUN ME sticky and attaching the 6 requested logs. That will really verify that you are clean.

    Going to sleep now! ;)

    Very pleasant dreams cyber-hero.
    I cannot tell you how bananas those pop-up sort-of computer-take-overs make me, so you really are the best.
    wishing you zzzzzzs a-plenty~
