I’m currently experiencing this problem. I left my computer on when I went to class one day, and one of my family members got on and put a LOT of spyware/adware/etc on the computer without even knowing it. I’ve tried all the anti spyware programs I could get a holf of. I removed PLENTY of infected things, but the bugs are still there. =[
Where will the solution be posted?

Ran across this http://forums.cnet.com/5208-6142_102-0.html?forumID=5&threadID=294266&messageID=2773517#2773517 which seems to help. But sounds more like a work-around rather than a fix.

Jovan,

What do the anti-spyware programs you’ve used say that you have? I can’t give you a solution if I don’t know what you have.

The bugs on your screen is called “Blackster”. The company that made this is called, Peters Productions…..

How do I know this ? well I’ll tell you how…
Go to start>my computer>local disk C:>windows>system32>scroll down until you see the blackster “BUG”

I was recently infected with MalWarrior 2007 and that is when I started to have the bug screensaver. I found it under system32 with the name blackster. I deleted it and uninstalled MalWarrior but am still having some problems. I have a firewall now that keeps informing me of an unauthorized program that is trying to start up everytime I turn on my computer. It is connected to bn15.tmp…I have seen bn8a.tmp, bn9b.tmp, and other attempts that I have been able to block, but I still can not locate the source. I found something in system32 called winctrl32.dll and I am denied access to delete it. I don’t know if you can help at all or if this helps you any in detecting the origin of this problem.

I found a folder in windows called Prefetch which contained all the bn.tmp’s, blackster screensaver, and everything else infecting my computer. Now that I have deleted it, do you think my problem is solved?

I have this “bug” on my computer currently. A file in the desktop backgrounds of the display properties named “ctfmonb” seems to be one of the files this bug uses. It is a big pain, and I haven’t found out the fix for it. Even reinstalling windows doesn’t fix the problem. Nasty little thing…

Kelli,

We’ve detected it in the new versions of rogue anti-spyware programs like Malware Protector 2008. If you want to see removal instructions for Malware Protector 2008, go to Malware Protector 2008 removal instructions.

if you go into your c drive and into program then windows and then system 32 you will find an application with an bug icon that is the problem that is causing the bugs to appear delete that and any other item that says blackster which might also be in c windows.

i was doing some work on my computer and suddenly as described above, my desktop was being eaten away by bugs, then there came a pop up that my computer was very badly affected by spyware and then a sofware call advanced xp fixer began installing by itself….
i checked system32 and found a scrennsaver file named blackster, and on double clicking it a lot of bugs appeared as before…
i checked its properties and found out that it was produced by peters_productions and got the link

i’ve no idea how it invaded my computer

Don’t worry I had this too. You first need to download system explorer it is kinda like take manager. You can serach it now see the button that says system kinda in the top click it. Now click the button Start-up programs and look for a file called Bugs! or somethign simular to it and side click it and get rid of it so it will never bother you again hope this helped you.

raman n,

Just because it was produced by peters productions doesn’t mean that this company is responsible for the infections.

I recently had this on my computer. I tried everything. I went to different websites and followed the directions for removal, I did everything. What seemed to work for everyone else did not work for me. I think it is getting more advanced. I don’t know. When I had it, I could not do anything. If I tried to press ctrl+alt+delete to open task manager, it said “access is denied by administrater”, I tried to do a system restore to an earlier time, it said “access denied”. The option to change my desk top from the annoying “warning, your computer is infected, click here…” was gone. I didn’t have the option to change the screensaver either. I just finished deleting windows and reinstalling it. Hope it worked!!! I hope you guys can find a better solution because this really sucked!

Angela, did deleting windows and reinstalling it fix yours? I have the exact same thing as you and now my computer takes about an hour to start up, but my start menu will not even show up. Thanks!

The only real solution is to format your drive and reinstall everything. Once this thing got on your drive there is no real way to be sure it didn’t open your system to other “Bad guys”.

I hope everyone have recovery disks!
