FakeAlert-B virus

[MH]

Does any one know what is wrong?

I am running McAfee anti virus 10.0. I get the pop up window telling me that
the FakeAlert-B Trojan has infected a file (usually in the
c:\windows\system32\1024 directory. Most of the time I am given a choice to
either get more information or continue what I was doing, The continue what
I was doing is what I chose most often. But the window tells me that the
file has been cleaned and the virus deleted. This happens in rapid
succession of three usually. Sometimes to make thing interested McAfee gives
me the choice to delete the virus, which I do. McAfee also recommends that I
scan my system. I have scanned the system at least 4 times and McAfee finds
nothing. I went to their web site to down load a virus removal tool for this
virus. When I attempt to install the program, it tells me that no product
(McAfee) is installed on my system.

My system seems to run fine with out any noticeable problems, why is this
happening?

Use the following Multi AV Scanning Tool to scan and clean your computer.


Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm

Go to the Detailed Malware Removal page of my website: www.stopmalware.tk and
follow all of the steps EXCEPT the ones involving downloading and running
another anit-virus program. When David arrives with his Mulit_AV tool link
use that in safe mode after you follow the Detailed Malware removal steps on
my website. You probably have sometime of spyware or non-viral malware that
is messing with your system. Once that spyware or non-viral malware is gone,
your computer should be able to detect any viruses with McAfee or one of
David's other choices on his Multi_AV tool.
