    I have an antivirus software alert and a windows security alert pop up. When I try to open any program, It says that application cannot be executed. The file wuauclt.exe is infected. It wants me to purchase their antivirus software. As I sit here trying to fix it, pornography sites pop up, but I cannot open any other web sites or programs with my computer.

    I have vista.


    Please help.
    Thanks

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Can you run anything in safe boot mode?

    Can you do any of the below?


    Please download and run the below tool named Rkill (courtesy of BleepingComputer.com) which may help allow other programs to run.

    There are 4 different versions. If one of them won't run then download and try to run the other one.

    Vista and Win7 users need to right click and choose Run as Administrator


    You only need to get one of them to run, not all of them. You may get warnings from your antivirus about this tool, ignore them or shutdown your antivirus.
    1. Rkill.exe
    2. Rkill.com
    3. Rkill.scr
    4. Rkill.pif
    Once you've gotten one of them to run then try to immediately run the following.



    Now download and Run exeHelper from Raktor
    • Please download exeHelper to your desktop.
    • Double-click on exeHelper.com to run the fix.
    • A black window should pop up, press any key to close once the fix is completed.
    • A log file named log.txt will be created in the directory where you ran exeHelper.com
    • Attach the log.txt file to your next message.
    Note: If the window shows a message that says "Error deleting file", please re-run the program before posting a log - and post the two logs together (they will both be in the one file).

    Now run this: Using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

    Now run this: Using MGtools

    Okay run MGtools too. Use safe mode to run it only if you cannot run it in normal boot mode.
