Solve : Personal Security Center Malware/Spyware?

Answer»

About a week ago I foolishly opened up a suspicious .exe file that I knew I shouldn't have, but what's done is done. My Norton didn't quite stop it so now I have this spyware known as "Personal Security Center." There is a small icon in the taskbar that occasionally pops up with a message warning me I am unsafe. I followed another guide to try to remove the program to no avail, so I came here! I've always gotten help here so I hope I can receive it again! Here's a post of my HJT Log. (Note: I've scanned multiple times with Windows Defender, Norton, Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-aware. Still nothing has helped. I've always tried using smitfraud in safe mode but still nothing.)

You have something odd going on there.

You will need to read this post and attach the requested logs.

Well, I'm pleased to announce that using Spyware Doctor successfully removed whatever bugger was in my computer. I will repost if anything comes up again. Sorry to waste your time =(Actually from the HijackThis log you posted the problem appeared to be deeper then being fixed with just Spyware Doctor.

I SUGGEST attaching a new HijackThis log to see if everything was cleaned up or not. It is better to be safe than sorry.Yeah, I can almost guarantee that Spyware Doctor didn't clean up everything going on in this log. It's been awhile (and yes, I'm guilty of bumping an old thread), but if the OP happens to come back, I WOULD suggest following the above advice.As long as you aren't bumping them to tell me I am screwing up!

Where you been man? Thought you gave up on us or something. No no, not at all! I've been very busy with finals for the last week or so. I haven't completely returned yet, but I do have a bit more free time right now.
