System Protection Program came up on my laptop and i need my valid key, and i cant remeber it,what do i do?

Q. I need the valid key word or code to remove viruses but i don't know what it is, so can someone tell me how to get it, thank you!

A. System Progressive Protection is a computer infection from the Rogue.WinWebSec, http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Rogue%3aJS%2fWinwebsec family of rogue anti-spyware programs. This program is classified as a rogue because it deliberately displays false scan results, hijacks your computer so that you are unable to run your normal applications, and displays a constant stream of fake security alerts that state your computer is infected. This rogue is distributed via three methods. The first method is hacked web sites that contain malicious code that attempts to exploit vulnerabilities on a visitors computers. If it can successfully exploit a vulnerability it will install the program without your permission or knowledge. The second method is through the use of fake online anti-malware scanners that pretend to scan your computer and then state you are infected. It will then prompt you to download System Progression Protection. The final method this rogue uses are Trojans that pretend to be software required to view an online video.

First need to reboot your computer into Safe Mode with Networking.
To do this, turn your computer off and then back on and when you see anything on the screen, immediately start tapping the F8 key on your keyboard. Eventually you will be brought to a menu similar to the one in the pic below

Original Question

Remote access detected in my router logs?

Q. My router logs keep showing that there's remote access to my computer via IP addresses all over the world all the time, yet nothing appears different in my computer in the slightest. I've even run combo fix, I have Malwarebytes and Avast (paid versions of both) running all the time and they haven't picked up any suspicious activity, is my router just crying wolf at normal requests coming in from websites, streaming videos, etc?
I even went as far as to run ComboFix on my system and change my IP, but those reports are still coming in, which is really why i think it's just false reports.
Lol my router password is a 30 long hex key. Nobody is getting into that. And yeah, IP protection is enabled, so I guess I'll just ignore the router. Most the alerts are on the port rage of 22xxx as well.
Alright, I actually tested it myself, and it's just reporting when anything is communicating with me. I went into matchmaking on halo and it reported every single player that connected to the game lobby. Router is just over-sensitive.

A. The first step would be to understand which ports are being used:

# Well Known Ports These run from 0 to 1023, and are bound to the common services that run on them (for example, mail runs on channel 25 tcp/udp, which is smtp (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) so if you find one of these ports open (and you usually will), it's usually because of an essential function.

# Registered Ports These run on 1024 to 49151. Although not bound to a particular service, these are normally used by networking utilities like FTP software, Email client and so on, and they do this by opening on a random port within this range before communicating with the remote server, so don't panic (just be wary, perhaps) if you see any of these open, because they usually close automatically when the system that's running on them terminates (for example, type in a common website name in your browser with netstat open, and watch as it opens up a port at random to act as a buffer for the remote servers). Services like MSN Messenger and ICQ usually run on these Ports.

# Dynamic/Private Ports Ranging from 49152 to 65535, these things are rarely used except with certain programs, and even then not very often. This is indeed the usual range of the Trojan, so if you find any of these open, be very suspicious.

If Mbam Pro is NOT giving you any alerts, then you have nothing to worry about. If you need to test Mbam to make sure the IP blocker is working correctly, use their TEST link
