About three days ago, my computer was infected with this rogue called spyware protect 2009. Since I always read the latest security articles from trusted antivirus vendors, it seems that the program might be install CONFICKER worm on my pc and other hidden rootkits. On Friday, I decided to spend the entire scanning my computer about 5x using different antivirus vendors [bootable antivirus disks, malwarebytes, a-squared, etc]. It seems that the rogue antivirus had vanished from my existent computer. I am now worry that what if all of the antivirus scanner tools did not fully clean my computer? How do I know if there are rootkits on my PC? After I got infected with this nasty rogue, my IE 8 and FF 3.08 seem to slow for my internet connection.
What should I do Raymond and everyone here at this amazing forum????
***PS: I scanned all of my pc(s) with the conficker removal tool [from Symantec] and malwarebytes in order to see if the malware had infected in those system. Fortunately, all of my computers are CLEAN. The irony of this situation is that Norton 360 v. 3.0 did not detect W32.Waledac from the infected PC. Even malwarebytes only quarantined four infected files: Regular trojan, ZLOB, and the two infected files regarding to Spyware Protect 2009.
One last point: if a computer is infected with conficker worm attacks, then the entire computer [including the network] cant visit security websites such as microsoft.com, symantec.com, kaspersky.com, etc... All of my computers can easily visit those security websites without any redirections or hassles. .
Should I reinstall windows XP or are there alternative plans for me to use?
###There are two attachments. "Before File" is when my computer is infected. "After File" is when the malwarebytes and other antivirus software successfully cleaned my infected computer.
