    Hi i am having a problem with my pc on monday i recieved a phone call apparently from microsoft being suspicious about this as i they do not have my telephone number i hung up and looked on the internet to find out about the scams so did not do anything about it i ran a virus check with AVG internet security 2011 and found nothing anyway it started running slow on monday night and wouls not close programs down so i just switched off. When i turned it back on today it keeps closing my nero and when i open a web page it closes then reboots the page everytime i have ran AVG again and downloaded antimalware and ran full scans both find nothing so i tried panda online scanner but it will not start the scan at all keeps telling me windows internet explorer has encountered a problem closes and reboots and does this everytime i click on the scan button it is driving me insane can anyone please help me before i resort to just whipeing my whole system. Thanks in advance

    Ok downloaded hijack this ran scan and got a message telling me "For some reason your system denied write access to the Hosts file". If any hijacked domains are in this file, HijackThis may NOT be able to fix this. So i clicked ok HijackThis scanned then got a message "Cannot find the C:\ProgramFiles\TrendMicro\HiJackThis\hijackthis.log file.". Asked if i wanted to create a new file clicking yes all i got was a blank page am i doing anything wrong here.

    Hi Biggie7619,

    I’ve looked over your HJT Log and don’t see anything that could cause this problem but, maybe if we dig a little deeper than HJT we may find and fix the problem you are experiencing..

    I see you are running Win 7 32bit…
    Download Emsisoft Emergency Kit from this page. Once it's finished downloading, extract the contents from the zip file. Then double click on the file called "start" and open the "Emergency Kit Scanner". When prompted allow it to update the database. Once it's updated select the option to go "Back To Security Status". Then go to "Scan now" and select the option to perform a "Smart Scan". Once the scan is complete remove all detected items. Restart whenever required.

    Check things out and report back here…
    ps: it's a little slow - it checks over 12 million signatures so, don't get in a hurry..

    None of this is threatening to your PC.

    I'm having a hard time connecting the mystery, despite fake, phone call to your PC getting infected.

    If you can, try a system restore regardless.

    I agree with Ripper and ddp you have no malware infection therefore, it is probably a system glitch. Use your System Restore to step back to a time before this was happening. If you don’t have your system restore set up, then try a repair.

    DownloadTweaking.com windows repair

    Once it's finished downloading, extract the contents from the zip file. Then double click on the file called “Repair_Windows”. You can skip step one. Run steps 2, 3, 4, and Start Repairs.

    See if that gives you some satisfy and let us know…..

    Ha ha ha ha ha you got windows 7 jacked.

    I recently ran into this myself the problem he is having is with disk permissions there is a new install hack called the certified installer hack where the installer places itself as the admin to the users computers and disables permissions to the hard drive so you cannot read or write to the drive which brings me to some bad news kiss your files goodbye as well this nasty new piece of work cannot be removed by virus scanners or malware removers because it lists it self as a trusted installer so windows doesnt think its a malware code worst thing is it replicates inside all of your files so it's a complete format and restart of your computer only way to get rid of it and make sure you do a delete of the current partition during the installation process i am sorry to here this happened because my friend got it bad he had the trusted installer hack write then corrupt the hard drive not a fun thing

    the pc closes programs that it finds will stop the trusted installer hack from functioning including

    AVG

    AVG FREE

    NERO

    OFFICE XP/2003/2007/2010

    That is quite concerning and am glad someone can find funny my misfortune. As i said before when i recieved the telephone call i done NOTHING to my pc can they still have gained entry to my system. After spending the whole day yesterday running scans in safe mode including the panda online scan my pc has been running much easier today have been running nero fine and am not getting the windows error whenever i open a new window (hope not to put a curse on that now lol). I have just checked and i am still the only user on my system and can still open and use AVG and Nero along with everything else so hopefully it is all sorted now and as 2oldGeek said was just a glitch in my system will just play the waiting game and see what happens but once again thanks to Everyone who has helped me with this problem and again i hope it is all sorted now.

    Biggie7619, as long as you did not download a certain program that was requested by the scammer then they did not get into your system.

    That is a relief ddp i thought it was a little strange so i just hung up the telephone without doing anything and got straight onto pc and found about the scam so it must have just been a glitch as you said before i bought the newer version of nero and so far it has not closed unexpectadly.

    2oldGeek i am just doing that now i have done option 2 restarted so it ran the scan and an now half way through option 3 all seems good up to now.
