After searching bengal behavior, on the 1st page and 3rd from the bottom, I clicked on 6.lqjpjir.com/15 and immediately knew it was something bad, but I had already clicked on it. It’s one of those, Have you noticed your computer running slowly? Click here to download anti-virus software. Anyway how can I report this to Google so that they can remove the link?

What should I do about this virus issue?

Goodbye asked:


Last night, my computer at home detected and found a virus. My firewall was on, and I ran my anti-virus, and all my other anti-spam, anti-this and that :) and removed everything they all found, however…there is an icon in the system tray that keeps flashing saying that it found “harmful spyware” and when I click on it, it goes to some “Malwiped” website and the website is reading as restricted. I have never seen this icon before I had this problem. Also, when I open up Internet Explorer, the first page it goes too is some weird “Internet Security” page, almost looks like a fake Windows page, cause of the colors. I checked to see what my homepage was, and it still says it is Yahoo. And there is also a toolbar in my Internet Explorer that I have never saw before either, and I can’t get rid of it! Will doing a system restore help this problem? I have all of my files already backed up. Any help or advice is appreciated, and if you want, send me a message if you’d like! Thanks a lot!
I did do an update on my anti-virus earlier that day…and yes…this thing is called “Spylocked”, the icon in the tray! that forum link is helping..I’m still reading away though!
Update: I checked out the forum thread the first user posted…right on the money with my problem. I followed the instructions, however the fake security toolbar in my browser didn’t go away..so I did a system restore. Thanks for all your answers! Helped a lot! :)
