Everytime i open or close Internet Explorer i get a box that says i have the blackworm virus and need to download something, then a window pops up and gives me choices of what to download.. This keeps happening, how can i get rid of this?? Brett Taylor

Run this removal tool. VundoFix by Atribune

And if you are still having problems after running the VundoFix, please post a Hijack This log so that the files associated with the virus/spyware/hijacker can be identified. You can download Hijack This at this link http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ then place it into a folder of it's on, such as C:\HJT, so that back up copies can be made and not clutter your desktop or other folders and the backup copies of deleted items can be easily located if needed. Once saved double click HijackThis.exe, and press "Scan". When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button. Press that, save the log, Ctrl-A to Select All, and copy its contents into the text editor at this forum. Do not fix anything yet unless you know what you are doing. This is a powerful tool that can crash the computer if used improperly.

I think it was just the method we need to change, Vundofix should work so lets try it one more time. You need to update your java afterwards to the newest 1.5 version or you will get reinfected. You will need to temporarily disable Norton's script blocker if you are running it and any anti spyware tools that you may that have "real time protection" as suggested at the following link or they will hinder if not stop the malware from being removed Temporarily Disable Realtime Protection Please download http://www.atribune.org/content/view/19/2/ by Atribune.we will need it later in safe mode Reboot the computer into safe mode by following the directions at this link How to Reboot into Safe Mode Now run Vundofix again. While still in safe mode and after Vundofix has finished run Hijack This again, close any windows that you have open except HT, place a check to the left of the following items and press "fix checked" R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = \blank.htm O2 - BHO: DosSpecFolder Object - {3E1BEA96-02D9-4992-B508-9B51819D9D86} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ssqrr.dll O20 - Winlogon Notify: ssqrr - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ssqrr.dll Now, while still in safe mode run ATF-Cleaner. Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program. Under Main choose: Select All Click the Empty Selected button. Reboot into normal mode and post a new HT log.

I still cannot get vundofix to work, but i am not sure i am getting all my security disabled--i think this could be my problem.... and i am not sure how to update my java, thanks for being so patient...anymore suggestions?? Brett Taylor

Try turnig off your AOL anti spyware and make sure you are off line and turn off Nortons AV. Once you run Vundofix restarting the computer will restart the av and antispyware programs.
