ATTN: Computer-y people.[views:3322][posts:34]_____________________________________ [Apr 12,2010 2:45am - Sacreligion ""] So apparently there's some worm/trojan horse/virus kicking around my computer. This is according to this security program that I've never seen before telling me my personal info is at risk, but I kinda think it just wants me to sign up and give it a credit card to pay with. I can't even close out this nifty new program that is cleverly named "Security Tool". I ran a full system scan with Norton after downloading an update for it and it still found nothing. I'm starting to get annoyed. Suggestions? In B4 "Delete system32 folder". |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 12,2010 3:14am - Sacreligion ""] Nevermind. Said security tool was the problem. All is well. |

| _____________________________________ [Apr 12,2010 3:26am - Sacreligion ""] That is obviously how I fixed the problem. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 12,2010 8:06am - arilliusbm ""] It was probably the av.exe Trojan. It disguises itself as an anti virus security program and fake scans your system. It sits in a temp folder and duplicates itself everytime you think it's gone. There's only a handful of programs that recognize it right now; one of them bing SUPERantispyware or whatever it is. I also think kaspersky recognizes it. Stop looking at porn in flash related sites. |

| _______________________________ [Apr 12,2010 11:02am - Slag ""] in b4 the obvious "delete system 32 folder suggestion". |
| ____________________________________________________ [Apr 12,2010 3:22pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] malwarebytes solves all |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 12,2010 3:25pm - Randy_Marsh69 ""] rkill then malware bytes since some of these viruses try and block the startup of malware bytes, rkill.....well....kills that shit like poof nigga. |

| _____________________________________ [Apr 12,2010 3:40pm - Sacreligion ""] So out of all those suggestions for malware/antivirus programs, which would be the most effective? And free-est? |
| _________________________________ [Apr 12,2010 3:42pm - RustyPS ""] SuperAntiSpyware and Malware Bytes are both free....I'm partial to SuperAntiSpyware myself |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 12,2010 3:44pm - Sacreligion ""] Done and done. Thanks. |

These smellypants viruses lately will make it so you can't run malwarebytes, or if you CAN, it won't let you update it, which makes it useless. I'm noticing they also usually make it so you can't open exe's sometimes too. I usually use other tools or boot into safe mode, go in under another local profile (not hoses by the exe disassociation), kill all running processes, run malwarebytes (after renaming the executable to something else). You can also update malwarebytes from another machine and copy over the rules.ref file if you're having trouble updating. To fix the exe horseshit you can google for "exefix". You'll stumble across a reg or com file that makes your computer happy again. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 13,2010 8:58am - arilliusbm ""] ^ yep. I recently had to fix my exes as well. |
