Re: security centres been deactavitedHad this on clients PC's loads of times.
It can be removed , but it's a fiddly pain in the proverbial. Here's a good tutorial. http://www.fakealerts.com/rogue-antispy ... n-545.html
Re: security centres been deactavitedyour not wrong there bc
did all the above then did a file & disc check which failed to repair it so i then returned it to an earlier restore point, then re installed malewarebytes ( the earlier restore point unistalled it of course ) then scanned it again to make sure its clean & hey presto many hours later its all sorted, my blood pressure has of course has gone through the roof what a cuffle thanks guys WHY AINT I GOT AN ALL SINGING & ALL DANCING SIGNATURE LIKE BOXY & DRIFTY ?
Re: security centres been deactavitedHi,
Glad its sorted now, but for reference you can download the stinger tool from McAfee ( free tool) that is geared up for FakeAlert type infections and is updated at least daily. Http://stinger.mcafee.com Finding suspicious files for review by McAfee Http://getsusp.mcafee.com System restore was a great concept, but it can also restore viruses back to the PC after the AV has deleted it! Advice would be to disable it, backup often & update not only your operating system regularly, antivirus updates and applications like adobe, flash, Java etc. Because the operating system is harder to break into through the front door so to speak, the virus writers find an exploit in an application like Internet Explorer/Firefox etc and use that to get higher privaleges on the computer. Its easier to break into the house and steel the car keys than to try and bypass the security on the car directly.. Still.. glad its sorted. Fronty B, 2002 3.2 V6
