Pain In The Ass Problem

Wed Nov 12, 2008 9:12 pm

Don't know how I got it but all this crap started to pop up tonight making things very difficult :(

Looks like a genuine Windows Anti virus/spyware program pop up but can't get rid, tried system restore but still no good.

Can't find a program to delete, is it genuine? I have Kaspersky anti vrus int security and this hasn't picked it :?

Any ideas on what to do would be greatfully appreciated.

Cheers

Its not legit.
I had it on my pc a while ago and it brought my whole system down.
I spent 2 days on it and managed to remove it, most of it manually and sifting through the registry to remove certain entries...but still wasnt good in the end.
I ended up formatting and going to Linux again. Why i left it i dont know...
I still run a windows box on the side, but i have AVG and Adaware running to prevent it from happening again.

Also you might want to download the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, it helped in picking up a lot of the virus.
