I am having trouble with my computer. It is running slowly, my homepage keeps changing to http://ucleaner.com/main.php?wmid=6... I get Windows Security Alert windows that come up that says my computer is being attacked, as well as a Spyware Alert with a Security Warning about the Trojan.W32.Looksky, and a System Alert, and three shortcuts on my desktop for Error cleaner, Privacy Protector, and Spyware & Malw are Protections. There is also a red stop sign with a white X in my systems tray. There is also a window that comes up from time to time that says SecurePcCleaner can clean my computer. I have run McAfee, Spybot, Lavasoft Adaware, and X-cleaner. Nothing has worked. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

If that does not help do the following:

Please download and install the latest version of HijackThis v2.0.2:

Download the HijackThis Installer from this link: HijackThis

1. Save " HJTInstall.exe" to your desktop.
2. Double click on HJTInstall.exe to run the program.
3. By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.
4. Accept the license agreement by clicking the "I Accept" button.
5.Click on the "Do a system scan and save a log file" button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
6. Click "Save log" to save the log file and then the log will open in Notepad.
7. Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
8. Paste the log in your next reply.
9. Do NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet! Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

I ran the Trojan file as suggested in the first post. It found a couple of things, but it did nothing to solve my problems. I then download the Hijack This and the following is the file. Do you see what the problem is?

O.K. sorry, let me change what I just said. My homepage is now staying the same, I am not getting the pop-ups and everything is running at normal speed. I think that everything is as it should be. However, I would still like someone to look over the Hijack This report to see if there is anything else I need to adjust if that is not to much to ask. Thank everyone for all their help!

You still have a baddie showing up.

Run Hijack This, close all windows except Hijack This, place a check to the left of the following items and press "fix checked":

O16 - DPF: {DF780F87-FF2B-4DF8-92D0-73DB16A1543A} - http://www.popcap.com/games/popcapl...

Exit Hijack This.

Go to start> control panel> add/remove programs and uninstall thie program if found>

SecurePCCleaner

it is a rogue program
