Nasty PC infection Heads-up

GT182 · 11-30-11, 09:28 AM

This program doesn't always come from porn sites, you can get it from anywhere on the net. And as I said, it's been refined so you Do Not know it's installing. It will just pop up and do it's thing after it installs.

Again, no problem Jim. I don't remember who had the link posted but I don't think it was you. I've found out that System restore woun't get rid of it but only hides it.

Info from another site that is also watching this:

Quote:

Combofix, MBAM and Spybot should get rid of that... System restore will not get rid of the malware because it tends to hide in the system restore files..

Get combofix at bleeping computer, only from their site because anywhere else it is probably malicious.
get MBAM from download.com (Full Scan)
get Spybot from their site or download.com

I run all three from safe mode with networking, combofix is an awesome program and is totally free.

I like to run a program called CCleaner, also at download.com, to delete junk files and registry errors.

And whatever you do, do not give that 2012 program your credit card number... I have talked to so many people that have its unreal. The program is designed mainly to get your credit card and then lock you out of your PC.

Note: All this info is also posted in the SHIII Mods section.

@GT182,

I've run across this problem many times as I help alot of friends and such with thier computers.
Combofix is my standard Tool for correcting the attack.
(I have suffered from it many times myself)

I keep a USB Stick handy that I can boot from and run Combofix from that.

I went through that whole thread but the suspect link is gone it seems.

No, I just read in PC magazine not too long ago, they said this problem diffinitely only comes from visiting porn sites.
