somhow ive managed to download this, its now asking for money, how do i get rid of it, its telling me i have 43 harmfull trojans on my laptop

 

anyone got any good free antivirus sftware programmes

Ran it on mine, found some 115 items, havent done a scan for a while, only problem is to then remove the items you have to pay for the privelidge.

 

Good luck alan it may remove the bits you want anyway.

Alan, my unlce had this a few days ago. I sent him to http://www.bitdefender.com and told him to run the free online scanner. That sorted him out. Good luck.

Go to http://www.grisoft.com and download the Free AVG antivirus software and that should quarantine it

 

AVG is very good... I've used it for years

cheers guys, i have avg, it didnt pick it up last nite, doing another full scan now and its picked up a trojan horse threat, will take about 45 mins to do a full searc so will hopefully tell me how to get rid

What did you do about this then mate?

fook all, i need to get my laptop reinstalled, my avg has it qaurintined, but im sure its still lurking about somewhere

did you not try and use the thing you got sent in email?

i always use avg 8.0 free edition complete antivirus program free updates and never asks for a penny !!

it didnt get sent, something to do with max download or something

mmmhh unsure of the one im using:confused: prob the latter looking at the links i use bit defender 10 on me main pc but avg on the downloader

 

and considering i paid over 50 quid for bd , avg does seem to have most of the same features for free:dance:

Ok,

I keep getting a little notification pop up thing in the bottom right hand corner task bar thingy to say that Windows has detected spyware, is there any way to get this to go away?

I downloaded and ran the Spy Hunter one which seems very good, it picked up that the trojan horses and fakes, I went in to the places where these were and just simply deleted them.

there is one that won't let me though.

Its in C:\WINDOWS\System32\blask.dat

When I try to delete it says it may be write protected or in use. The properties don't look like its write pretected (read only) or anything

although my virus knowledge is not superb i'd say it wont let u delete it as u could the others because it's in ur sys 32 files> (quite important)

 

take a peek at the bit defender site it has anti virus scans and free virus removal tools for download it's always sorted mine out !

 

(although am sure someone may give u a easier way )

 

hope this helps ;)

I've compressed the spyware doctor (rar file) if you want me to re-send it to you pm me your email if it works you can send it on to the others who are having problems. Your AOL email only allows 15mb for files i've compressed it to 14.1mb so hopefully you will be able to get it. Or if bird wants to pm me his email i'll send it to him.

On the back of this when I try to go online the PC tries to install or run Microsolf Office Proffesional Edition.

 

Anyone know why?

Ive now got the spyware doctor but it says i need the full version to remove the issues, asks me for registration and licence details to activate it
