Best Antivirus Software

Yep that's what it is called.

Believe me. You don't want any of this action. What a nasty son of a gun. I'm pretty well versed in such things and know or can find how to properly eliminate using the various recognized programs, process killers and even editing the registry.

This tard even does something weird to the host file. Luckily it's just on an older but fully updated and allegedly protected laptop.

Avast, with a side helping of Malware Bytes

but it sounds like you may be trying to lock the stable door after the horse has already bolted

best of luck

It's a nasty trojan/fake antivirus thing called Best Antivirus Software. That is the name.

It can be removed extremely easily.

Do a full reformat of the drive, reset boot sector. Reinstall windows. Done.

This is just an older notebook we use for browsing. I am beginning to think you are right.

I had a friend get that.... stupid popups websurfing. I pulled the drive and slaved it in another machine that ran MSSE. Ran MSSE on it and cleaned it. Reinstalled it into the friends machine and used the Windows Disc to fix boot.


Worked great.

lmao, that is a nasty one. one of those buggers (anti-virus 2000, 2010, 2012, security suite 2012, etc...) will install a rootkit on your drive.

you might want to do what Ripley suggested just to be safe.

That's what I use, excellent software.

I used avast with a a boottime scan set up to autorun at 4am twice a week. Just incase a rootkit hits me. Or  just format.

lol, probably because your system still has whatever it was that shut down microsoft security essentials and dropped your firewall.

Yeah if you have MSE it won't play nice with Avast

on my previous computer I tried removing MSE so I could get Avast on there, but that caused even more problems!
