Solve : Viruses and Adware?

Answer»

My DAUGHTER has a gateway laptop with XP. The sp1 has been downloaded and all updates for that. She has a big problem with the virus/worm.... BV:Malware-gen, Trojan horse, and a couple others. There is even a desktop wallpaper that takes over and appears. If you try to get rid of it it automatically sends you to the internet and a website to download a program to get rid of viruses and malicious spyware. Then when you get rid of it on the internet it keeps popping up every so often, again. This all started Saturday morning when a message came up and SAID SOMEONE was trying to access the computer.

What can be done to get rid of it? Have tried everything I can think of to help her out!

I followed the directions that Deerpark gave but still have the problem.

Here is one of the web addresses that comes up...ucleaner.com/main.php?wmd=MjI
Here is only a part of another address that the internet goes to......Systemerrorfixer.com/clean/index.php?57520-d0d16- There is more web address disappeare before I could jot it all down.
The wallpaper that takes over the desktop reads.....YOUR PRIVACY IS IN DANGER! DOWNLOAD PRIVACY PROTECTION SOFTWARE NOW

And last but not least, the following are some things I was WONDERING if I should remove
Brower Address Error Redirecor
DVD Solution
gtw_logo
OneStepSearch 1.0 Build 166
Power2go 4.0
Power DVD

Again THANKS for the attention given for this problem.

Then you should have three logs to post. We need the logs to be able to see what to do next.
