    Hello,

    My PC got attacked by Antivirus XP 2008, Trojan-Spy.Win32 (GreenScreen, KeyLogger and more) and a Virtumonde adWare trojan.

    I read and executed your read & run me guide, when running some of the freeware apps they flagged many other threats (I had only been using Mcafee antivirus and not specifically an anti- spyware or adware app).

    I got rid of these with the various apps downloaded but could not get rid of the Virtumonde one despite Spybot saying it had found it.

    I then uninstalled Mcafee (in case it had been infected itself) after installing another antivirus but then back came the Antivirus XP 2008 and the Trojan-Spy notifications (which read "Windows Security Alert" - "To help protect your computer, Windows Firewall has detected activity of harmful software", with 3 buttons "Keep Blocking" and "Unblock" being greyed out and "Enable Protection" being enabled which leads to a presumably bogus antivirus and spyware products PC Antispy & PCclean Pro).

    Despite running the scans and removals for all the freeware (lite and other) versions of these recommended apps from your guide, several times and rebooting I have not rid myself of these malware apps - any further advice you can give me to locate and remove these would be massively appreciated.

    Many Thanks,

    Radiallica.
