I have just managed to get back on line after 30 minutes trying.
I had a warning that my pc was under attack from a virus. I have AVG and Microsoft security essentials running all the time. The message says attack from 222.92.185.146 port 19861, attacked port 31064, Threat; Bankerfox.A
I am then asked if I want to block the attack, if I say yes it takes me to a webpage to purchase the download, if I say no it just keeps sending this pop message. I have at least 50 red warning boxes that keep appearing at the bottom right hand corner. I can hear them as I type, one pops up every second or so. I cant open the control panel because I get a message saying its infected, I cant open my security centre because thats supposedly infected.
I use firefox to browse, this thing keeps opening windows explorer, another big box has just popped up saying I am infected with spyware and I cant close it. There is a green icon in the corner that has just appeared, it gives me a message in broken english that I have to buy something.

What is this stuff and how can I stop it, I have restarted the pc 3 times
now. :mad2::mad2::mad2:

All my icons have now disappeared and I have 4 rows of red warning flags at the bottom of the screen, I am downloading Neale's link.

Fingers crossed.

BankerFox.A is a Trojan that is designed to steal users' banking data related to certain banking entities.When they access any website of the affected banks through the Firefox browser, the Trojan is activated and logs the information entered by the user. All the information entered in that website will be logged by the Trojan.
BankerFox.A does not spread automatically using its own means. It needs an attacking user's intervention in order to reach the affected computer. The means of transmission used include, among others, floppy disks, CD-ROMs, email messages with attached files, Internet downloads, FTP, IRC channels, peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks, etc.
