Spyware detected virus
      #400124 - Fri Jul 11 2008 12:20 PM

Hi,
Not at all IT savvy.

But was after some help..have a virus on home pc. Blue background, spyware detected message. I've tried to delete if from all the obvious place, but of course no luck.

I've e-mailed tech support with Panda (that's who my anit virus is with), but heard nothing back as yet.

Thought I would try here, for some help!

Should I download more anti-virus, is it too late now?

What's the best thing to do.

Thanks in anticipation

If the blue background 'spyware detected' is not from Panda or one of your recognised Anti Spyware programs then follow the instructions contained in this post, then post your log back to the HijackThis forum (not the Security help forum which is where you are now) along with a brief description of your problem. Please be patient, lots of logs, too few helpers.

Thanks for the quick response.

From spending some time on the internet this morning it looks like it's the XP antivirus virus.

I will post log from affected pc tonight.

Thanks for your help!!
