Virus gone!

Thank goodness, browsing the web in Safe Mode was ugly ugly ugly.

That's good.

Gratz.

I was a little o_O when I saw YOU getting virus.

Thanks guys.

I pride myself on having my PC protected fully all the time so I have no idea how it happened. It won't happen again though dammit!

Did you figure out which virus it was?

It a fake anti-virus program called Security Suite. It would override all of my programs and stuff and try to get me to purchase the full version.

Pretty pesky, it would pop up this fake ass scan box and make it look like I had every virus known to man lol. If I tried to run any applications it would claim that they were all infected.

All in all it was pretty weak against the stuff I had once I booted in safe mode and I was able to remove it, but when I would go back to normal mode it would be back again so I had to log in, go to task manager immediately before it took over my desktop.

Once I did that I was able to run all my stuff again, my scan just finished and it's been removed so I'm scanning again just to be sure but I think it's all good now.

My Dad's computer had to be completely rebooted and everything because of that virus. Be careful; it'll look like it's gone, but it might not be. If you have a program like Spyware Search and Destroy, use it. Just keep an eye out for it again; it may be back.

It sounds more like a malware than a virus. Are you running malware scan too?

Thanks Bob, yeah I have Spyware Search and Destroy, Malwarebytes, HiJackthis, and a couple of other programs that I'm going to run before i officially call this case closed, but I'm making progress, yesterday I couldn't even get online without booting up in safe mode so it's definitely a step in the right direction.

In the end this virus will be my bitch, just like all the rest lol.

LoL

I wish for the best Doomsday, I really hope that it is your bitch, lol; just be really careful. Back up your files if you can.

Hey Stormeye I accidentally edited your post instead of quoting it, damn extra mod button.

My bad.

You and me both, hopefully it's all gone and Skynet isn't taking over my shit.

Kaspersky man. Nothing gets through that shit.

Its all good.

Nice Doom. My friends laptop has something on it called AntiMalware Doctor. I used Malwarebytes to get rid of it, then went into safe mode and did a bit of other stuff to make sure all the infected files are gone. And a week later, it came back.

Now I can't even figure out how to get rid of it.
