Any computer gurus here? Need serious help

[DaSwat]

against my warnings, my wife lets my nephew and neice on the computer. I get ready to go online this past weekend and to my "surprise" I have some weird program that can't be removed called Antivirus Pro 2010.

Now, here is the problem...there are sites that say they can remove it if I download a program...however, this program has blocked me from accessing the web. When I click the icon to open the internet, it says I don't have permission or it has been removed. It has also blocked my McAfee from scanning.

So, I can't scan to remove, I can't access the web to remove.

Does anyone have any ideas at all what I can do?

All helpful input is greatly appreciated...thanks.

Same thing happened to me about a month ago. I had to restore my computer back to when we first bought it. Does your computer have System Restore

[NZFalcon]

Couldnt you try downloading it on another computer and put the install on a usb drive?

[pencilpusher. just because]

Do you have a Firewall? Try disconnecting it long enough to try to get online.

Or you can try " system restore" under programs> accessories and set your computer back to a date a few days before it happened.

Best thing is to go buy an external hard drive(if you don't have one), transfer all of the files you dont want to lose(and can't download again) on the hard drive and then just restore it to factory settings. It may take a long time to set everything up again but the last thing you want is for the virus to kill.

It's trojan with disable antivirus. I'm sure there is remote access as well so clean it as quick as possible

false download malwarebytes antimalware software. im a network administrator for a school system we see hundreds of these fake spyware packages havent seen one malware bytes wont remove

[achilles return]

Malwarebyte's Antimalware, SUPERantispyware, and Spybot - Search and Destroy.

Run full, complete scans. Run them again. And then again, until you don't come back with any hits.

I got the same thing before. What you may have to do since you can't access the web is reboot in safe mode with networking so you can access the web. then do as SW says. Download malware bytes.

[Grim Reaper]

I had this problem a few weeks ago. You need to use Malwarebytes and a REAL anti-virus. Download the Malwarebytes installer on another computer and put them on a flash drive or external hard drive. Attach the flash or external hard drive and turn on the infected computer. Enter into SAFE MODE. Install Malwarebytes. Run a scan while in safe mode. It should delete the virus.

It might be possible to skip the first step, as your computer MIGHT allow you to download Malwarebytes directly while in safe mode. Mine didn't. Some do.

[Grim Reaper]

Define "Real" for us cpu idiots...yes I am one.. :mellow:

I meant NOT the one the virus keeps telling him to download. I use Avira Free on one laptop and AVG Free on another.

[Grim Reaper]

Thx for the info...I will research them.

Avira Free is the highest rated free anti virus.

This review came out this month: "When the results came in, Avira AntiVir Personal claimed the top spot in our rankings. It excelled in the essential malware-detection tests and also boasted the top scan speed"

malwarebytes is good stuff

[Xnex]

I used Malwarebytes (sp) in the past, but I think you guys are missing a key point here. I think his computer is preventing him from visiting any website that offers virus protection or malware removal. Same thing happened to my computer several months ago. Had to move my important files to an external HD I purchased and then reformat my internal HD.

If it's the same sort of virus, your computer will eventually end up with an add on the desktop trying to seel you virus protection. BTW the site that add will lead you to is also managed by the people who put the virus/malware on your computer in the first place.

[Jimsmusic™]

lol @ paying for anti-virus

i love my free Professional versions

as stated before

reboot into safe mode with networking.. meaning that virus wont effect nothing

[defcon4]

One option may be to use a friends computer to download Malewarebytes to a thumbdrive or cd. You can find it at MajorGreeks.com.

Then try an install it and run it on your system.

I've encountered the same virus under various names several times. Malewarebytes has always worked.

[Falcons Ace]

Link?

FFS1970: Stinkin track jacker probably jacked them. Trust me.

[duncja]

"Free" has always made me go hmmm...

Ever wonder why it is "Free"?

Free in the sense of programming/code is does not carry the same negative connotation that free anywhere else would. Often times freeware is better programmed and works better than commercial software. I don't run any anti-virus atm, but have run AVG in the past.

[tonedawg]

I agree...MalwareBytes will be your friend on this one. After that runs (after it has been fully patched/updated...and then ran in SafeMode), run Spybot S&D (also in SafeMode).

After you run MWB, reboot. Run SB S&D, Reboot. Then boot normally into Windows, and run them again. Full scans. Will take some time, but should cure all your ills.

[DaSwat]

Thanks so much for all the advice. Please note that I am not in any way a computer dude and have to ask a very dumb question....how do I reboot in safe mode? (sorry guys for not being savvy)

There are a few ways.......try this one

Start

Run

type in " msconfig " hit enter

click on boot.ini

tick the safeboot option

ok out of the menu and restart

another way is to press f8 repeatedly as your pc is booting up and it will give you boot options...you can then select safemode....but some pcs are different buttons for this.
