I have had this really annoying red circle with a white cross in mhy system tray which every so often, flashes up with a message saying viruses detected. If i click on the message it takes me to a companies website to buy there anti-virus product.

I have tried to download AVG but it wont open, ive tried to download spybot, but that wont open. Ive read a few of your other threads but HijackThis wont open either. Im really stuck for ideas and its REALLY frustrating ha.

Hope to hear from someone soon.

Thanks

This is what come up. Thanks a lot

Delete the following file; C:\WINDOWS\system32\nod32se.exe If you cannot delete it in normal mode, try it in safe mode.
Once done. post an hijackthis log.

Thanks. But HiJackThis wont open. I've downloaded both the old version and new version, i download them, extract them and double click them, then click run the programme but nothing happens.

:-S

Try it in safe mode.

Have tried it in safe mode after deleting that file and it still doesn't work. Kind of stuck now ha

Ive tried all that, and still not loading. now saying that its not a valid win32 application(slight improvement ha).

Download Dial-a-Fix and run it. Select the 'Check all' (green arrow) and then hit 'GO.'
Reboot when done and see how things are now.
