Internet Explorer Warning – Visiting This Website May Harm Your Computer!?!?

1. The Phlebob Says

   There are never any guarantees in malware fighting, but here’s my best shot at a generic removal procedure:
   First, boot into Safe Mode With Networking. (See below for details.) That sometimes keeps malware from protecting itself. Then, if you have an anti-virus, make sure it has the latest virus definitions and run a full scan with it. If you don’t have one, many people here swear by Malwarebytes (it’s free).
   I suggest you also download Ad-Aware Free and Spybot S&D (they’re free), install them, update them and run full scans with them in Safe Mode With Networking.
   Also, turn off System Restore to evict any copies of bad stuff that might be lurking there.
   To get into Safe Mode with Networking:
   1. Log out and reboot your machine.
   2. When the machine starts the reboot sequence, press the F8 key repeatedly.
   3. Select Safe Mode with Networking from the resulting menu.
   4. Login. If the malware has changed your password, try logging in as Administrator. By default, Administrator has no password.
   5. The machine will continue booting, but the Windows desktop will look different.
   6. When you’re finished doing what you need to do, log out and reboot back into normal mode.
   Another trick that may enable anti-malware and/or its installer program to sneak past the malware is to change the name of the anti-malware program itself. The names of the files and their locations differ between anti-malware programs, but the procedure is always the same:
   1. In Windows Explorer, find the folder with the anti-malware.
   2. Change the name of the program (it always ends with a .exe) to virtually anything else, but keep the “.exe” part.
   3. Run that.
   Note that even if the anti-malware programs get rid of the malware, they may not be able to reverse the effects. Search the Web for possible fixes.
   Update and run full scans regularly, not just when you think you already have malware.
   Good luck.
   Note: There ARE free versions of these reputable programs on the websites listed. They just may not be obvious.
   Ad-Aware Free (free): http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
   Spybot S & D (free): http://www.spybot.com/
   MalwareBytes (free) http://www.malwarebytes.org/ (If the program doesn’t run, changing its filename from mbam.exe to something else ending in .exe has sometimes proven effective.)
   AVG anti-virus (free): http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl…
   Avast! (free): http://www.avast.com/
   Kaspersky (free trial) (Seems to dislike installing on any machine with just about any other decent anti-malware, including some firewalls.): http://usa.kaspersky.com/downloads/

   it’s scareware, uve got a virus, it’s designed to look like an anti virus software to get people to pay out money. recommend downloading AVG free edition an removing it ASAP

4. Doc Says

   Using Firefox (while you still can), go to avast.com, click on “Products”, then download the FREE antivirus program. Hopefully it will download for you, then initiate it’s installation. When it’s done installing, enter the program and run a “complete” scan of your system. It should find your infected files, which you can then isolate, repair, or delete.
   Word to the wise, always be cautious when searching for “Adult” sites, music downloads and gaming sites. Only download from reputable sites if possible…don’t “file share” and gaming sites (codes, cheats) is another one to avoid, as well as sites for free movies and larger files/programs (rar’s).
   When downloading programs, try NOT to install “toolbars” if it is an option.
   Best wishes

   You need a good antivirus to avoid such problems in the future.
   Follow these steps:
   1. Press ctrl+shift+esc right after boot.
   2. Look for garbage processes under task manager and kill them. Like ewtweotiwet.exe.
   3. Go into IE (for FF it is similar), Tools->Internet Options->Connection->Lan settings and remove proxy checkbox.
   4. On Vista/7 run Start Then enter notepad in search box, do not press enter. Rightclick once found, then choose run as administrator. On XP, launch it normaly.
   5. Open this file : C:WindowsSystem32DriversEtcHosts and empty it.
   6. (Optional) Open in IE Tools->Add-Ons and remove everything that is from companies you do not know.
   Now you should be able to browse and download software. Google the processes killed in 2nd step. If they are not listed as good, search for them on the disk and delete them. If you can’t, Just download malwarebytes or Spyware doctor and they should do that stuff for you.
   If you cant launch the software, start them from within task manager. (New process, and enter full path to executable).
