malware on Vista

just got a new computer with vista and mcAfee. McAfee got corrupted and I had to uninstall and reinstall. Then I started getting a pop up box (which I attached ) if I use the x to cancel the window or click cancel, it goes to the following page:

Uninstalled McAfee and installed norton 360 and it's not finding anything. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi djb1011,

I would run and scan with these:
http://www.superantispyware.com/
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
http://www.sophos.com/products/free-tools/sophos-anti-rootkit.html
http://www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor-antivirus/
http://www.webroot.com/En_US/consumer-products-antivirus.html

I would update the definitions then run a full scan in both Normal Mode and in Safe Mode.

You can also use Dr.Web CD. Proved to be very good.

Create a boot cd and scan your system with it.
You can also install Spyware Doctor which will clean your system for sure too.

I believe that I have Vista 64 bit. Will malwarebytes or all others listed, work?

Also how do you create a boot cd in vista?

It appears that malwarebytes does not support 64 bit. Sorry for the misdirection.

Then try http://www.freedrweb.com/. Make a bootable CD, boot from it and scan your system.

MalwareBytes (MBAM) will install and run on Vista 64-bit except for its realtime protection which wouldn't work on the machine as of now:

The free version of MBAM will work because it doesn't have realtime protecction. You might want to give it a try.

Try out Spybot Search & Destroy. Its from big use and its free. Also Spyware Doctor for sure it will clean the spyware (thats your problem) but you will need to find crack which i don't think piracy its allowed here.
Than install some antivirus like Kaspersky or NOD32 so your problem won't happen again. Also be more carefull in future.
