Hello,
I have read another topic on this same subject, and it seemed to have helped them. I have the identical symptoms. Periodically I will get a false windows security message, saying Windows has detected unauthorized activity. However the only action to take is "Protect". The virus mentioned is Spyware.ISpynow. I have read other blogs and data indicating that this is not the actual virus, but the malware is a site redirection and keylogger.
I have downloaded HijackGPthis.exe from another computer, as the virus seems to be blocking all available downloads. I have also tried to run some of the typical spyware detectors like spybot S&D, but with the same problem. The trouble is that while they are now on the machine due to disk transfer, I am unable to run these applications. They seem to launch but give no feedback window. I have no log to show for this reason.
I have the ability to load other software from an uninfected computer, via USB disk swap. It is questionable how much can be run however due to the above blocking. Please advise.
Thanks,
Mike
