Malware: "Antispyware Soft" !!
in [Windows Viruses]
|
From: Dean Garrett on 22 May 2010 18:58 I have an infected Win XP/Pro PC with something called "Antispyware Soft". This malware takes over all parts of the computer: can't browse any site other than the one the virus directs to, can't open a DOS box, can't run REGEDIT ... My question is about MS Security Essentials. I have it loaded on the PC, but it DID NOT detect the virus as it infected the computer. If I run a full scan, will SE find and eradicate this malware? SE has downloaded the most recent updates. If SE can't handle this malware, what will? Please help!

This is typical rogue security scareware behavior. Not a virus really, you should have stuck to calling it just "malware". > My question is about MS Security Essentials.

(some are more prone to false (+/-) than others are) > If I run a full > scan, will SE find and eradicate this malware? If it missed it coming in, there's a good chance it will miss it when full scan is selected. > SE has downloaded the most > recent updates. > > If SE can't handle this malware, what will? I hear both "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware" and "SUPERAntiSpyware" often recommended. IMO "bleepingcomputer.com" has been doing a great job trying to stay current with regard to these pests, sometimes HJT or ComboFix data analysis is the recommended way to fix a problem. Search for your specific annoying application.
