Is this something I can "easily" deal with?

I got a POP-UP (I was a bit shocked actually) - from "www2.fullsoft-basetr.in" (or either; ww2.fullsoft-basetr.in - ??) with the usual BS, saying I was "infected", wanting me to "run a scan" blah blah blah... (Vista Home, Avast 5, Spyware Terminator, Vista Firewall).

I tried cntrl+F4 to make it go-away (rather than clicking-on anything within the pop-up), but that didn't do the trick, so I pressed "Esc", and it launched the "DANGED" "THING"..."DANG" IT!!!

And now after an MBAM update and FULL scan, MBAM has found nothing. I have the worst luck with these machines....

I had recently defaulted to the Vista firewall to allow ease of operation for my sons "WoW" game ... might I be able to switch back to COMODO FW, block this thAng there (somehow or other?) and block it in my other protect. progs (somehow) and not have to do much more than that (such as the "Read/Run Me")...? I mean, what are the chances that this thing is hanging-around, to do more damage, please?

 

Kes Kes Kes Kes Kes Kes Kes...

I could surely use help with the "configuring" of me Firewall (over in the software forum - post pat on the tushie, and supplied with me lollipop from THEE Malware Forum, here !), however, I mostly certainly do 'use' (utilize) one...in fact, with my Wireless Router setup in the highest mode (WPA2?...whatever it is, it is the "Tops"), in addition to the Comodo (free version) software FW, well, I think I am, more than amply protected .

Since I posted this here, I have also now run:

SAS (SuperAntiSpyware) - full scan (same as in MBAM, updated first - then full scan),
Avast (5) updated everything then full scan...

I then ran MS Defender (I don't recall if I updated that one first or not, but we didn't really expect to find anything with that prog. anyway, correct?)...full scan.

Everything came back 'clean' (SAS did come back with the usual low-level "threat", plethora of cookies, but nothing out of the ordinary)

I have also now since switched back to COMODO FW, as I had recently defaulted to Vista/OS firewall so my son could play his W.o.W. game ... W.o.W. plays nicer with the MS firewall than with COMODO.

So.......................what's a poor guy to do............?

OH...I use Firefox AND Chrome...Chrome moreso lately, but I use Firefox for my more sensitive sites (banking and such), and yes, i use AD-Block+Plus in FF...in Chrome I think it's only "AdBlock"...
PS ~ I do also have Spybot (S&D) installed on this machine, but did not run that one...I think it's a bit outdated (from what I have read on the www), no?

 

I apologize, I missed this question earlier...

1. I got a pop-up...the sort I used to see years ago, seemingly from out of nowhere, with a warning to the effect; 'Your machine appears to be infected, you can run this free scan to check/repair/whatever'

2. Knowing better than to click-on it (or anything in it) I immediately attempted an F4 procedure (thinking/hoping that this would [might?] remove this garbage from my screen and/or machine).

3. F4 did nothing, so (rather impulsively) I pressed the escape ("Esc") button, which dumped the pop-up, and launched some sort of scan (which, for the 2-3 seconds that it was on my screen, had a rather attractive look to it...looked like it sort of "belonged" if you know what I mean. Colors, graphics etc. absolutely had a Windows and/or Vista sort of look about it).

Again, impulsively (and admittedly a bit "loopy" from some pain meds that I've been taking) I punched the power button to shut-down the machine. I just couldn't bear the thought (much less the sight) of some ROGUE RAPIST program "sowing its seed" (<--I cleaned-up this description) in and all over my machine :-o

Again, it identified itself as either "www2.fullsoft-basetr.in" or "www2.fullsoft-basetr.in".

 

sorry, again - I timed-out on editing.

I believe the program was in fact named ww2.fullsoft-basetr.in rather than www2.fullsoft-basetr.in, because "www2" would not work in terms of being a prefix on a URL (web address) - correct?

 

Was simply answering a question that you had asked, and which I had, originally, missed.

If by "requested tools" you mean 'Read & Run' I have a feeling this won't help/find anything, so, thanks just the same - and have a Great Day!
