    Worked a treat removing Win 7 Antivirus.

    This may help some people: I had to re name the installer and then rather than double click I had to right click and select ‘open’ to get it to run. Nasty little virus that one.

    Cheers, N.

    I downloaded the malware… Forgot I already had it installed but it’s old… Pulled up the downloaded setup and followed instructions… Now I can’t get it to open or run or scan and I can’t uninstall.. I think I’m totally blocked by the XP security 2012 infection… Any suggestions? Thanks

    hello every one!
    some body can help or guide me what to do?
    when I plug any removable devices to my laptop, all the existing folders get hidden and the duplicated folder with same name having .EXE with small size comes.. I keep deleting/formatting but they still attack.
    e.g: I have a folder names MUSIC so I can’t see the folder itself but I see MUSIC.EXE instead…

    Hey guys,
    Got infected with Windows Rampart. Did all the steps and got all the way to the scan and it found over 700 threats. Is that normal? And when I click “Remove,” The program seems to freeze, but everything else on my desktop works. Any suggestions?

    To get rid of any trojans, slip a Trojans brand lubricated condom on your erect penis. Rub ferverishly.

    Trojans should be gone.

    When your pc freezes while running disinfection by MBAM, a FileAssassin function that lets you delete locked files. Use this function before run quick scan and Remove selected. I could clean up “Windows Premium Defender” by that. Thanks anyway.
