Hello,
I visited a site I didn't recognize (silly me) and intsecureprof2009 got on my system. Now here's why this is a dilly of a pickle. This is a semi new install so I don't have hijack this, and the virus/malware has cut off my ability to use MBAM or CCleaner. Avast has been able to run but didn't find anything and my internet connection has been eaten by this nasty little program. Anyway I'm writing this on a smartphone. I have a Mac OSX laptop but it is dead at the moment.
Is there a fix? I wanted to avoid a reinstall if possible.
EDIT: So last night I restarted my computer and when Windows loaded I quickly started Malwarebytes and CCleaner. Malware ran and detected 7 objects. I deleted them and was asked to restart the computer. CCleaner did it's thing but I can't really tell if it fixed anything or not.
I now (obviously) have internet connection, but only through Firefox. I still cannot download hijack this for some reason. I tried using trendmicro's online scan but it's no longer only online, and requires a download. When I did that it automatically locked the program out so I can't use it. Also since it's been on for a few minutes now, MBAM won't open so I can't update in case there's something it missed. I don't know if it's important but my MSN Messenger can still sign in (though I have it off so as not to infect my friends.)
