Scroll down to the section titled:


Automated Removal Instructions for Antivirus Soft using Malwarebytes





Antivirus Soft comes with a proxy. You have to go to Safe Mode with Networking, make a setting change to remove the proxy, download an app to kill the Antivirus Soft processes, then remove it using Malwarebytes.





It's easy to follow %26amp; includes pix to help you





...|||Unfortunately none of the free software for antivirus is that good. Yes AVG everyone says is great but it doesnt provide realtime protection so it only lets you know you have a virus when you scan your computer not when the virus is trying to come in..If your computer is too bad i say save your files not music and things though and restore your computer. Get a paid antivirus you can find them for cheap if you fidn the right deals at the stores or online. I keep some good deals on a website im working on right now for my business www.beachboycomputers.com dont spend a lot on one find a good deal and go for whichever one...Norton Panda Mcaffe Webroot they all work great|||!!!DO NOT PAY FOR IT!!!


It is a scam/virus, if you pay they let you download something that does more damage.





Google/Yahoo search the name of it, you will get loads of info on how to remove it.





Try installing Avast antivirus free version, there's no need to pay for personal antivirus, it does a boot time scan so should pick it up.





Edit: You need safe mode with networking otherwise you cant use the internet.|||You want to restart it Safe Mode with Networking, and UPDATE Malwarebytes. Then do a full scan.


If you got rid of the virus, but it still takes you to that website, its the proxy settings for IE, the virus changed it.


Go to internet options, the connections tab, then click LAN Settings, then uncheck every box and click okay|||It is highly likely, that you got browser hijacker in your settings. Typically, they are in one of 4 places :


1. Proxy server (disable it )


2. Hosts file (empty it, there should be none on typical set-up, or one referencing localhost)


3. Browser add-ons (remove everything you do not recognize )


4. DNS server (quite rare, but happens - you should reset it to use your router or ISP DNS).


Here a guide how to fix it : http://www.2-viruses.com/how-to-fix-goog鈥?/a>|||Free virus softwares





- Malwarebytes free anti malware software


- Search And Destroy free anti spyware software


- AVG free anti virus software


- Panda anti rootkit free anti rootkit software.





PS, by the way if you don't know what rootkits are, they are hidden mallware where you can't catch with a anti malware software.|||http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-antivirus-soft





READ ALL OF IT!!!!!!!|||Step 1: Disconnect the infested computer from all networks like the Internet. When possible, use removable software in this process to, so that any new install is clean.





Step 2: Backup any good files that you may want to save.





Step 3: Use a utility like Safe Mode to stop the malware from running. This is helpful because some malware is self-running, which is also know as auto-starting. There are free programs that can assist with this step.





Step 4: Check "My Network Places." Delete anything that you do not recognize or if the name looks suspect.





Step 5: Reboot back to Safe Mode. At this point you have taken care of the surface malware. Review again for any other errors, in addition to malware.





Step 6: Go to "add/remove" in your control panel and begin to delete adware.





Step 7: Delete all ActiveX controls, the Web browser cache, temporary files,


cookies and the Web browser history.





Step 8: Empty the recycle bin for each user.





Step 9: Set up a firewall program and get it running.





Step 10: Log on to the Internet and scan the hard disk for any possible viruses.





Step 11: Reboot your system and check for anything you may have missed|||I tried 2 spyware removers which required payment to remove infections and 5 well known free spyware removers, here are the results.
