Spyware.ISpynow

Hello

I wonder if anyone can help me? From reading your forum I do not appear to be the obly one with this problem.

I have a desktop running Microsoft Windows XP.

Over the last week I have been getting a Windows Security Alert window pop up every 13 minutes that states:


Windows Security Alert

Windows Firewall has blocked some features of this program

Windows Firewall has detected unauthorized activity, but unfortunately it cannot help you remove viruses, keyloggers and other spyware threats that steal your personal information from your computer. Click here to pick recommended software.

Name: Spyware.ISpynow

Risk Level: High

Description: This trojan has a keyboard logger function which is intended to steal information from users of a range of online payment systems.


There are two option buttons to click on. The option to “Keep Blocking” is greyed out leaving just the option “Protect” available. When I click on this button it take me to a website: hxxp://www.defende2009.com/buy.php?a=111 offering me to buy “Perfect Defender 2009”. If I click on the Click here to pick recommended software hyperlink the same website opens.

I've done full scans with Mcafee and SUPERAntiSpyware in both normal and safe modes. However, none of these found anything.

I've also scanned with Windows Defender and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, but neither of those found anything either.

McAfee Help forum suggested I download HijackThis and post the log on this forum. Therefore I have done this and the log is
here:

Thank you so much for your help! This has been giving me grief for some time. It was painful, but I finally got the log you requested.

• Now open a new notepad file.
  
• Input this into the notepad file:
  

  
  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
  
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\winlogon]
  "SFCDisable"=dword:00000001
  [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\ControlSet001\Services\TDSSserv.sys]
  
  

  
  
• Save this as fix.reg, save it to your desktop.
  
• Double click fix.reg to run it.
  
• Select yes to the registry merge prompt.
  

What problems remain?

When I click yes I get a box that pops up that says:

Registry Editor
Cannot import C:\Documents and Settings\Dennis Blue\Desktop\fix.reg Error accessing the registry

Hello.
Did you copy and paste it all? including this part?
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Thanks so much for your help. I must have done something wrong the last time. The problem seems to be fixed now and I no longer receive the pop up. The computer does boot up a little slow, but that's not a big deal. My question now that this is over is do you know why if I had an up to date subscription to McAfee security that this was able to get installed on my PC?

Thanks again for your help.

I don't quite understand your question.

I just meant if I had an up to dat Mcafee subscription for anti virus, firewall, etc., how the Spyware.ISpynow was ever able to infect my PC. I was under the impression that if I kept my subscription up to date these types of programs would be stopped from infecting my PC.

Thanks again for your help.

There are many ways round an anti-virus.
No AV is perfect, but does it's job and keeps the worst out.

Your version of Java is outdated and needs to be updated to take advantage of fixes that have eliminated security vulnerabilities.
Updating Java:

• Select the first option where it says "Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 11".
  
• Click the "Download" button to the right.
  
• In the Window that opens, select your platform and language, check the "agree" box, and click Continue.
  
• Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation and save to your desktop.
  
• Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
  
• Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add or Remove Programs and remove all older versions of Java.
  
• Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
  - Examples of older versions in Add or Remove Programs:
  - Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2
  - J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0
  - J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2
  
• Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
  
• Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
  
• Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
  
• Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u11-windows-i586-p.exe that you downloaded to install the newest version.
  

Please make sure the new version of Java is installed before you run JavaRa.

Please download JavaRa from here

• Then run JavaRa.
  
• Select English from the drop down menu and press Select.
  
• This will open JavaRa.
  
• Press Remove older versions
