Yes, I do suggest you take my advice. Not every computer in the house is mine, mind you I live with 7 people and only one of the computer is my own PERSONAL computer. When it gets installed on other computers via OTHERS using it, this is how I get rid of it and it works every time. And yes, I DO have my computer set up with that annoying little permission to run as admin pop up, as does my ex, and we've both gotten the virus regardless. Granted, neither of us has had the virus in almost 8 months, but don't mine me or anything anyone else in this thread has to say. Obviously you're the one and only person on the planet that knows anything about the virus, so excuse us.
Yeah, get malwarebytes or some kind of trusted antimalware program right away. And don't listen to noxious, you don't have to click YES to anything to get this virus. If you click within the pop up ad, or wait to long to alt+f4 and/or system restore, it will download regardless.
It made this like scary noise too. like something popped up on the bottom right of my screen, a lady screamed or something, and it scared the shit out of me.
Or at least as far as you know you haven't had any virus. It is a very prevalent scam virus, trying to get you to "buy" the product. You may not think you allowed it, but something as simple as clicking on an ad can install it. I have been using Avast and it scans pages before they load into my systems memory and often I get the message that it blocked a malicious website, and it is always a banner ad, like the one's here for sexy undies and growing supplies. Those ads are not hosted on the same servers as the main website so are great ways to inject malicious code onto peoples systems. My wife's system got hit by this one a while back, it came from some kids game site.
Yeah, you should keep getting a little bubble popping up in the bottom right hand of your screen near your clock. It's annoying as fuck
Sure, don't listen to me at all. I've only been building/repairing/restoring computers and removing virii from computers since seized was two years old, so by all means listen to her. After all she has had this virus in her household numerous times, so I guess she is the resident expert. Again, IF THE LITTLE FUCKING POP-UP WINDOW IS PRESENT THE MOTHERFUCKING VIRUS IS ALREADY LOADED AND RUNNING. HITTING F4 DOES NOT STOP OR REMOVE IT. all it does is close the little fucking pop-up window.
Yeah, my sister and her friend screamed like crazy and ran in to tell me that the computer is doing scary things. :rofl: (19 year old girls by the way)
You don't like what I have to say? then fucking BLOCK ME IDIOT I didn't say that it DELETED OR REMOVED THE VIRUS, which is why I also said to continue on to run an atnimalware program or a system restore, which has worked for me EVERYTIME Don't be such an ignorant fucking retard, the virus hasn't been in my household on each computer more than once, just on multiple computers, once each. I believe I also said that I was on friends, teachers and work computers, but I guess I put the virus there too right? I can't control what other people put on the computer or where they surf, I only use my OWN PERSONAL COMPUTER and there are five computers in my house, learn to comprehend Get your head out of your fucking ass and read what I said, you'd figure if you know much about computers you'd have some common fucking sense and the logic to read what I wrote. Stop being such a fucking dumbass and block me
Darling, I did read what you wrote, and you're methodology for removing this type of virus isn't correct or complete. Again, if the pop-up is there, it is already resident in memory. With that being the case the only way to really remove it completely is to boot off some other media than the hard drive. I have sat and scanned, manually edited the registry, manually deleted files, etc. only to see the process start right back up, files get re-installed and get hidden in a new location. To the untrained eye who is not looking at or familiar with what process' are supposed to be running, (it renames the files and process, so looking for the same one to re-appear isn't enough) it looks as if you have removed it from the system. Also as I said, restore points are a favorite location to hide malicious files, so restoring is also not the best method. These things very often have timers that will keep it dormant after a removal attempt for 30-60-90 days then shazam! your system is re-infected because it was hiding quietly in some obscure area of the hard drive, like the protected and hidden restore points. There are also different versions of the fake anti-virus malware around. Some are relatively easy to remove, some very difficult. I just cut to the chase and advise to take the most thorough and aggressive approach as I outlined in my earlier post. Your method may have worked for the version you got hit with, but trust me, it won't work for all of them. I would never block you, after all I do agree with you about using malware bytes. When you get to the level of knowledge to be able to manually remove an infection such as this by editing the registry and system files, without the benefit of antivirus software, then you can try to correct me.
