TrojanDownloader.XS infection

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Yes we know all about SpyHunter being a wast of money.


Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

 

It's up to you how you wish to proceed. If you attach all of the requested logs we can tell you whether you are clean or not. Without the logs we cannot say anything about your status.

 

It's a good thing I suggested that you attach your logs. You are still infected.

First you need to re-run AVG Antispyware and this time do not ignore everything that is found like you did last time. Make sure you Quarantine everything. Save and attach a new log.

Run this Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to remove
Windows Messenger. Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.
