weird startup - infection ???
I had powered off the power strip to my computer last night which I never do / Today when I started the computer , instead of bringing me directly to Windows, something started running - I think it was ckdisk - it looked like DOS files and said something like Volume is dirty and started doing scans. I don't know if this was the Windows Recovery Console which I do have installed . Anyway , it recovered an oprhan file 74556 and deleted cm-9-p.dat and changed two other entries - I ddi not get to copy them all but one was an avg file .
Maybe I should have just shut off the computer but I didn't.
Anyway , I did scans of SAS , Malwarebytes , etc.- came up clean .
When I ran an AVG virus scan , found no viruses but these files came up LOCKED and so could not be scanned which seems suspicious ( could not copy and paste so wrote them down ) :
hiberfil.sys
pagefile.sys
C Windows \sys32\config
"" """" \DEFAULT
"" "" """ \SAM
"" " "" """ \SECURITY
"" """ """ \SOFTWARE
""" """" """" \SYSTEM

Computer seems to be running fine but I don't trust it now : (
Anyone see anything suspicious and why would these files be locked and is there a way to UNLOCK them ?
Thanks for looking and for your help .
fake trojan-40 reg changes
Hi Broni ,
Well, I have REALLY been badly attacked , prob, precipitated by that weird scan .
After browsing awhile, I had gone to microsoft.com a few times for info.
Then I got something coming up pretending to be AVG doing a scan - said I had all kids of viruses and then got a message that my AVG was infected . AVG then said I was being attacked and asked if I wanted to close down .
I cannot get online now - I just keep getting a message that AVG is infected and that fake AV keeps scanning .
I am at the library computer bow - I don;t know what to do and am afraid to make things worse without advice . I was able to start in safe mode and am running SAS and Malwarebytes right now . Malwarebytes detected 3 trojans and is still running - SAS detected 40 (yikes)! reg changes and several trojans so far .
I hve the modem in standy and am not sure if I can get online in safe mode . I plan on letting SAS quarantine /delete everything and I know it will ask for a reboot to clean - should I do that in safe mode ?
I am afraid AVG is infected - should I dl another AV program ?
Thanks for looking .
