I am not quite sure if this was mentioned in the previous pages.. But people that are infected should download, Spybot Search and Destory, and Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware program..[Perform scans in Safe boot, if possible]. These are freeware programs that are pretty effective.. Install it, update it and you should be fine.. I would strongly recommend Kaspersky Internet Security as your primary Anti-virus/Firewall program..

I would also suggest Windows XP users to disable their System Restore option until they get rid of the virus issue. If you don't, chances are the virus will duplicate itself from previous backups even if you try to get rid of it..

 

Kaspersky sucks and costs money

 

My spybot missed it. Searched in safe mode too. And yes it was updated.

 

No it doesn't.

 

Will system restore fix this if I get it again?

 

I'm looking at a system right now with the restore partition infected no restore disk made before hand. real pain in the a$$

 

MDHRZ, i'm just making a suggestion.. It's up to you to either take it or leave it.. That comment was unnecessary.

03aeroZ; Malwarebyte's should be able to detect that program. I have looked at forums for more information. I have personally disinfected this program with Malwarebyte's .. However there is some manual work needed..

Kaspersky cant protect you from yourself.

 

Wow you are a Smegul.... And it cost money..... what ever happen to paying for a service?

Has the virus been taken care of? I'm terrify of logging on at work.

 

I don't think you should have to pay a fee for software but that's just me. There are plenty of FREE alternatives when it comes to virus protection.

 

this ****ing virus is ruining my computer. its so smart that it wont let me open malbytes or any of the windows security software or any releases by microsoft. this ****ing sucks ill be after IB for our month of advertising fees refunded

 

ive downloaded 4 different antivirus things and malybytes, spyware doctor, all of them get blocked. it even blocks task manager from opening

 

^ have you tried it in safe mode with networking?

 

FireFox NoScript.


Download it...

 

I posted a link to malwarebytes forums. They discuss this rogue app and how to rename malwarebytes to the name of a windows system file, it will then execute.

 

to be more specific, do this

ive tried all these BS links. Ive even gotten Malwarebytes to sneak past the program, run the scan, 'find' the programs, 'delete' them, restart the computer, and they're still there when the computer starts again. this is a sack of horseshit and ive given up after these windows pop up every 20 seconds

 

i cant even open Excel spreadsheets; it blocks that saying its a corrupted program. so at this point this virus is costing our business money as we can not conduct business.

 

the reason these ****ing link instructions dont work is because it tells you to rename malwarebytes to explorer.exe; the program blocks even that from opening. at this point any program, function, or window opened via a click (anything not manually opened by myself) is blocked. even internet explorer links that open in a new window are blocked due to 'being infected: purchase software' windows from the virus.
