Malware I Think
in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum
Posted
Hello
I wanted to report that Malwarebytes found two entries
when doing a quick scan on my computer.
Both were named: PUM.Hijack.Run (registry data)
I did not quarantine them, but removed them. Luckily it allowed
me to restart my computer and I though my computer would return
to its original state. It did not.
What happened to my computer before I noticed this malicious
problem?
I am no longer able to turn off my computer and only the log
off button is available in Start. When I right click on Start
I get the dreaded 'this operation has been canceled due to
restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your
system administrator'.
I am not sure who is the system administrator as I thought I
was. It is a personal computer and used at home.
Any suggestions for me. I am unable to create a restore point
and I am unable to bring up Run. That is not the case. I did another
scan and nothing malicious was found on my computer.
How did I think I got this problem?
I downloaded the free key that was offered by Meegaleecher.net for the program System Tweaker 2011.
When I used it I changed a box to within the program to default settings and my problems began there
or might have started just because I downloaded this program.
I am at a total loss as to how to turn off my computer without using the power button.
I am also afraid to try to log off the computer.
Any advice would be helpful as this is the first time I have ever asked for any help. I
have bookmarked this site and will check in periodically ... I am truly flustered.
Thanks!
John
