What in the ...? (HELP)

[The Virgo]

I have no idea what the fuck is going on right now.

I usually only visit a few select sites, and none that would be "dangerous". However, just recently I clicked on a link to "imgur" (which is supposedly a reputable site just for showing images) and now, all of a sudden, "XP Home Security", which, strangely, I have never seen before, starts doing a virus search and starts finding all kinds of malware of every kind. Trojans, keyloggers, bank fraud and all kinds of bullshit everywhere. The funny thing is that it doesn't actually do what I would call a "real" search. It like it looks through a few specific folders and finds things.

The thing is though that when I run AVAST (the full, pair-for version), it find absolutely nothing. XP Home security says the sound volume panel has a key-logger. AVAST shows nothing.

Since I've never seen or heard of XP Home Security before, even when I've had a couple of worms before, I'm reluctant to trust it.

So, what the fuck is going on? Please help. Thank you.

EDIT: It just told me there was an attack on my computer from some IP address, even though my firewall is set to public zone/high risk (even though it isn't, I still set it to that just in case) and it says it won't actually fight back unless I buy virus protection. That sounds incredibly fishy. For the moment, I've taken that computer off the internet.

Well, is anyone going to answer or not?

Yes, this post may be double posting AND low content, but I have fucking questions that I need answered. Once people start answering, the mods can delete this post. I would be grateful if I didn't get an infraction for this, though, since I'm kind of at a loss as to what the fuck is going on at the present moment.

I'd appreciate an answer to this too, to be honest. As far as I can tell, there's fixes for the 2009 and 2010 versions of this virus (if they're one and the same), but not the 2011. That's what spybot told me before I gently laid that computer to one side and forgot about it until now.

Its scareware the program is a virus itself it "scans" your computer telling you there is about 50 virus(all of them have funny names too if you read them like virus.keyloger.evl or something along those lines) and run all programs though itself eating system prossess and wont let them run untill you pay them money.

Easist way i have seen is revert back to your last save point it doesn't get rid of the virus but it dose removes it from programs that run on startup(and it just sorta sits there).

Second is find a better Anit-virus on another computer save it to a flash drive and run it in safe mode

or MSE should do the trick

HA! I was wondering if that was what the deal was! All of a sudden going from a clean system to 25 different kinds of viruses, having key-logging viruses in the volume control AND having my computer hacked all in about an hour is a little too much to believe. And speaking of which, one of the "viruses" it mentioned, the bankfraud one, I believe, was a ".jk" file! I noticed that, but I didn't quite know what to make of it! XD

Hmmm, so there's no real way to remove it, then? Only just revert to a save point and have it just sort of exist there?

As for the virus protection, I've never had any problems (this is the only time a virus has gotten through, but it did notice a virus just before this whole thing started) with AVAST, and I personally like it. Besides, I don't trust free virus protection software. I'm always weary of free things. <:-/

In the meantime, this does put me at ease. Yes, there IS a virus on my computer, but it's not 25 different ones.

you can remove it its one of the more stubbern ones i have come across
its just the easyist way is just to revert back to a save point
the dam thing is still there but it only method of running is on startup and when you downloaded it(it effectvly just puts the thing in a dog house)

AVAST is fine for day to day use(odds are an update for this viris will be out in a few days to a week although im surprised there still putting out new versions of this virus for XP). Id still recommend running dr web once it isint so much a good standing AV as it is a o shit my computer is infected right now as the thing is made to run off a flashdrive.

If it makes you feel better you already payed for MSE when you bought windows.

I got a virus VERY similar to this one a long time ago, the best way to get rid of it once and for all is to do a system restore up to a certain point, and if you ever see a similar window again while surfing the web, do NOT give it permission to download anything, and close it immediately.
