HELP My son's computer gets a AVG threat detection notice that says "antispycraft.com/shop?abc=cGdpZD01Jn19N Exploit Rogue Scanner (type 1586" it says object was blocked, but wont let anything exicute. AVG says "Your computer is being attacked by an internet virus. It could be a password-stealing attack, a trojan-dropper or similar." It has an attack from and attacked port number with THREAT BankerFox.A
If I change to my user on his computer, I have run AVG and windows defender and nothing shows up. The only thing I can see different on his home page is a yellow shield with black stripes, and it keeps prompting to scan computer, but I don't recognize this and it has "self run a time or two, but I have been able to stop it. AVG wont run on his page and any action continues to say "Application cannot be exicuted. The file googletoolbaruser_32exe is infected. Do you want to activate your software now?" It doesn't say or have any symbol to let me know this is a "good" notice, and if it does start it is a green shield at the top, I stopped it because I don't know what it is. When the AVG warning comes up on his page I can't activate it because I get the above cannot be exicuted message.
Security status shows firewall, auto updating, malware protection adn other security setting all on. If I select Windows defender, I get a flash notice that defender is turned off and it immediately fades with the "unknown security warning" returning.
He is an avid online game player and I am afraid he has picked somethig up...any ideas?
