View Full Version : Not sure what virus I have

I have CA Security Center, and a virus called FakeAlert keeps coming up. On the Internet, I keep getting these pop-ups from Spyware Protect 2009. I've tried to get rid of it with CA, but it doesn't work. I even tried system restore, which seemed like it had solved the problem, but all it did was lessen it. There are two user accounts on my computer, but whenever I turn on the computer, it only goes to mine, and I keep getting error messages.

Sounds like you have malware.
Normal anti-virus won't help but something like Malwarebytes.org (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php) will.

I downloaded the 1.33 version and I have it scanning now.

After the scanning, I removed everything that came up, but the virus is still there. I still can't turn off the computer properly or go to the other user account.

I don't know why, but I'm able to access the other user account again and shut off the computer properly, but the virus is still there. And in the other user account, the pop ups came back. The error messages have stopped though, and tray icons have vanished.

Run Malwarebytes in each of your accounts to make sure they are all clean.

First off, the Windows Security Center Notification messages are back and so is the tray icon. Then I used Malwarebytes like you said and got rid of everything that came up.

I've already used Malwarebytes. It helped, but the virus is still there.

So now, the only problems are the missing system tray icons and the arrow. The volume indicator bar is also missing, and I still keep getting the message, "Windows Security Center App has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
