What's Up with Flash Installer putting McAfee crap on my computer

[captain1ma]

if you're worried about things on your machine or information being taken, theres a simple way to stop everything including downloads. create a fake user on your machine. i tend to use the name "internet". make him a limited user with no rights. now load you software from your adminstrative account, but otherwise use your internet account to play the game or just cruise the internet. should something try to load, it will not be able to, because that account(interenet) has no rights. is a cheap security tool, but it works well. ive done it on many of my customers machines and hear from them less after i do it.

Yes, Stoney.

You can do as Bino said, scan using a good, updated, anti-virus program, or go to to the previously mentioned site:

http://www.threatexpert.com/report.aspx?md5=d9788b4434e3dc03d01462fcbeda9cce

There is a table there, called "File System Modifications".

In the left hand column, there are some file names.

For example: %Windir%\brada.dll

%Windir% stands for your Windows folder, for ex. C:\Windows

So, the filenames to look for, will in the C:\Windows folder.

Open Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Windows folder and check if any of the mentioned files exist.

auto.msi , aviso.aas, bcef.dll, etc

If they exist, there is an infection.

Thanks.  Had already run a MBAM scan but I'll check this out.
