    I opened IE for the 1st time in a month and found this web site alliesecurity.com. Then this window pops up in the middle of the page telling me I got a virus called W32.MYZOR.FK@yf. Says it infects files with .exe extensions. It looks like this company wants me to download their spyware removal tool. I did but never ran it, I deleted it because I got a warning saying not to trust it. It has changed my home page and I can't change it back.
    I have ran AD AWARE, HIJACK THIS and RegScrubXP and it is still there. Can I please get some help in removing this. I really don't care about IE as I am a Fire Fox fan, but some time I might want to run IE.
    Thanks
    Steve

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    • Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

    Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.




    • When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
      • CounterSpy
      • AVG Antispyware log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy
      • Bitdefender - from step 6
      • Panda Scan - from step 6
      • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
      • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
      • HijackThis
    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!
