antivirus 2010

[CAP1]

anyone heard of it? just moments ago, i was cruising these boards, and had photobucket opened also.

 warning came up, about something hitting/installing itself......i turned off immediatly, but it was too late. when i rebooted, i got blue backround with yellow box saying system infected.

 it's constantly popping warnings.........right now, i',m running norton, which states it found "coreguard antivirus2009", and cleaned.

 will  be needing to do anything else?

Yes, a full system reinstall. You have two viruses installed, Norton and that other one.

You have no way of knowing if Norton really managed to remove that malware. Then take a lesson and stop using IE for browsing. Install firefox and noscript to use it.

i already don't use ie.

Malwarebytes is good at removing most of those rogues.

It doesn't do anything about Norton, though.

i may have mis-stated.......i have symantec. is that the same or different than norton?

right now, symantec and superantispyware are running on that machine. superantispyware has found 22 things, including one of the vundo things, and a bunch of trojans...and the antivirus2010.rogue. symantec has found coreguard antivirus2009.

 both tools are running right now.

 what gets me, is i ran superantispyweare last week, and nothing came up, outside of a few tracking cookies.

 i don't need this first thing in the morning.....especially on my work computer.

STAY AWAY FROM TEH PRON!!1!1!

run combofix after malwarebytes.  it usually finds a few extra things

Agreed, my wife got this one (antivirus 2010) for me about a week ago... malwarebytes cleaned it right up.

Symantec is the Company that makes Norton.

Why do people buy viruses? AKA, Symantec products... As most have said, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware will clean it up.

this is my work machine. i go to this bbs(which is where i was when the hit happened), and flamewarriors. then it's work related sites like alldata, napafix, etc

i'll update and run that as soon as superantispyware finishes. it's first bass, it found 30 something things......it cleaned them, and it's running again. it found 1 so far in the registry......antispyware2010 .rogue again.

 after i put this up, i called a buddy of mine(he runs GEM Enterprises)....a computer dude. he said to do the superantispyware thing at least 2x, and if there was still anything there to call him back, and he'd come over.

thanks dudes!

oo...masher....i thought they were, but didn't/don't understand why it's labeled symantec, rather than norton.

Well, I would like to know which dodo at your office decided Symantec products were the best option for productivity security.

EDIT: If that system registry line continues coming back, you might also consider running AVG Anti-Rootkit Free. The tool has worked miracles for me considering neither Malwarebytes, Spyware Doctor, Spybot, or ESET products found rootkits that the small application managed to pick up.

I am a firm believer in Combo Fix but be carefull they had a message a couple of months ago stating not to use the newest version as they were having some sort of problem with it.

Just double checked Combofix.net or BleepingComputer.com looks like they have the latest latest version with a warning not to use older versions.

3rd run, it didn't come back.

problem now, is that machine will not go onto the net now. firefox is just a blank page, regardless of the address i type in.

 also, i cannot get into task manager. it says "task manager disabled by administrator". but i AM the administrator.

 and finally, although i got my original backround back, i also have a white backround around each one, which i cannot change....nor can i change the backround picture.
