I wonder, if someone know, what means this icon?
strangeicon.png

This appears rarely, maybe after three days. I got it on my taskbar, corner and I can't get no tittle about, I just move cursor on it and that gones. Is this a virus? I tried to scan my PC when I saw it and I find two trojans (Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Genome.bzbn and Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Genome.bzci), but that didn't help. I'm using Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 antivirus.

Sorry, a bit too tiny for me to see what it may be. Blow it up and sharpen didn't help either. Suggest Hitman Pro and Malwarebytes Free for 2nd and 3rd opinions. A Guy

Two viruses was on 4 registry keys: Trojan.FakeAlert and Malware.Trace. And one virus was on one registry data: Broken.OpenCommand. I removed them immediately.

Ahhh, don't assume you are clean. Suggest you d/l and burn to CD a bootable Antivirus disc. That way you can scan outside of windows. Suggest you turn off system restore to delete all restore points where virus may lurk. Scan with the bootable AV disc. Boot to safe mode after and scan with Malwarebytes again. If you come up clean, I'd still scan with an online AV scanner to be safe.

Bootable AV Disc

Online Scanner

Once you are sure you are clean, turn system restore back on. You might also d/l SuperAntiSpyware as a 2nd Anti Malware scanner to back up Malwarebytes. A Guy

That icon seems like related to some sort of RAT (Remote Administration Tool). The infection named 'Riskware.Tool' supports this.
And after following excellent advice from our member A Guy, change all of your passwords of the sites you visit including but not limited to bank, forums etc..
Or better yet, I'd advise you to change all of your passwords immediately from another clean pc or your mobile and then continue with the steps mentioned by A Guy.

Alright, I started download of Kaspersky Rescue Disk 11 .ISO file.

change all of your passwords of the sites you visit including but not limited to bank, forums etc..

So, I should to change passwords of sites like G-mail, Msn, Imageshack.us?

Also, look into KeyScrambler . Scrambles your key strokes at the kernel level to thwart keyloggers. The free supports IE and Firefox. the paid supports more. A Guy

I tried to download a personal KeyScrambler, but download.com page says:
We're sorry, but the page you requested could not be found.

Thanks, it worked.

Damn! Very bad end. :eek: KeyScrambler came with PDM.RootShell and exactly Uninstall.exe file is virused. I wanna to remove KeyScrambler with Uninstall, but I can't do this safely. I tried to switch into "Safe Run for Applications" but I still can't. (Uploaded Attachment)

AND

I just noticed a first symptom. Then I try to upload files to G-mail using IE, my screen goes black and I need to turn it off.

Hello,
Don't worry, Keyscrambler is a safe app. It installs driver at kernel level to intercept your keystrokes to scramble and encrypt them so as to prevent keylogging by any malicious program.
Just allow it.

gregaras you have been infected with a 'backdoor Trojan'. As posted above, you definitely need to change ALL your passwords using another computer (Known clean), not from the infected one you're using now!

Also, flush the dirty DNS cache, and restore MS's Hosts file because they have been over-ridden.

Copy and paste these lines in Note pad.

@Echo on
pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
attrib -h -s -r hosts
echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
attrib +r +h +s hosts
popd
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset all
netsh int ip reset all
shutdown -r -t 1
del %0


Save as flush.bat to your desktop. Right click and run as Administrator. Your computer will reboot itself.

Now, update and rescan with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. Select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location. Copy and Paste that log into your next reply.

Its showing nil. Good.
Just to be sure, run that bootable rescue disc scan too.
Some malware are pretty good at hiding themselves from scanners while they're active.
