hi, any one had this malware on your pc?
i have just had it and now cant connect to windows update to update whatever i had to get rid of,
am running xp ie8 sp3,
had the yourprotection spyware/malware infection,
think i got rid of it by running malware anti-malware programme and some other programmes according to the website, have reinstalled avast,spybot and microsoft security essentials all of which say no more infetction, both in normal and safe mode
when i click on the windows update via the saftey button the webpage says i not connected to the interweb,
if i navigate to the update site via windows home it says there is a problem with this site and cant updte windows
i also have some sites which arnt the site i click on in google,ie if i type antimalware and the list of sites come up which i want, i click on it and sometimes it will send me to a shopping comparision (sp) site and am getting pop ups as well now
please help as its driving me potty
think a reformat is a last resort
thanks for your time
