Skyz Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I wont be online for a while due to my pc being infected with a rogue scanner, aka win 7 internet security 2012. I have been trying to remove it but all the spyware and malware removers get blocked by the rogue prgm, and i csant access the internet to well. so Ill be offline for a while and I dont know when ill be back. im using my dads macbook so i might be able to stay active on the forum but not on css. if anyone can help me get rid of the crap on my pc that would be awesome (before I reformat my drive).

enigma# Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Look into getting a rescue disk (or an offline AV scanner) (example: http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208282173 Make sure to have a flash drive handy if you have a Windows-based computer. You don't need to be on the infected computer to do this, even your dad's macbook will let you burn the ISO image required to use the disk. (http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/rescuedisk/main?qid=208282484) In any matter, good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BranHorse Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Had the same virus a while back. download malware bytes onto a usb from another pc (macbook will work) then boot you pc in safe mode. install malware bytes while in safe mode reboot. Then start up again in safe mode and run malware bytes. If it doesn't work then you need a blocker to block the virus. I don't remember what it was called though =[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just boot up in 'Safe Mode With Networking' and download Malwarebytes from here http://www.malwarebytes.org/ . Run a full scan, delete threat, reboot, then enjoy having your PC back. IDk how many pc's ive had to fix because of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyz Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Oh btw when I already had MalwareBytes installed and the virus blocked me from using it, it blocked me from using any malware removal tool. so I just went in and removed it manual through the registry.

BranHorse Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Gotta do it in safe mode. Chances are safe mode will not let the virus interfere with it. And if it didn't the blocker (idk why i cant think of its name) would stop the virus for messing with you until you kill it. Glad you got rid of it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
