my virus scan...what's good...
Published (2008-12-04 04:26:00)
SAS and DrWeb are both one time (rather than real time)scanners, unless you want to get the paid version of SAS. Both go quite deep and take a long time to run. So unless you have a very fast machine I would not try to do anything else when running either of these scanners, but then again cleaning a system should be the priority. In my experience both will find stuff that mainstream 'fast' scanners (like AVG) will miss.

Run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware again. When asked, at least quarantine the item. A quick glance suggests deleting all the items you've listed is required. "No action taken" will then become "Quarantined and deleted successfully". Liverpool : Capital of Culture 2008 Anfield : Capital of Football since 1892 Iechyd da! John Glannau Mersi, Lloegr.

ISpyNow Fake Security Alert
Published (2008-11-30 10:55:00)
Hello everyone. I recently had the google redirect virus plus some other not so nice items that also prevented me from updating my AVG (gave me the cannot connect message)-- initially I was running with AVG antivirus and Windows Defender. This weekend I installed Ad-Aware 2008 and StopZilla (have since read a mix of stuff mostly bad re: this product), but after running scans and deleting infected items I am down to a fake security alert box...

I have the same problem, should i post my hijackthis log here or make another thread? Access to many websites is redirected to closed off by the virus, installation and update of many antivirus programs is hindered.

Not come across this one (yet), but try MalwareBytes.  It seems pretty near the top of the tree in dealing with a whole bunch of unwanteds.  I've used it to good effect for some time now...     http://www.malwarebytes.org/ ROGER - G0AOZ.

I'm in the same boat here. I just had this ISpyNow security alert pop up on my PC. I went to install malwarebytes, along with several other recommended spyware softwares and it would not allow me to access those sites.  Told me it was a valid site but it could not be accessed at this time.  From google, it redirected me to imitation sites when I clicked the link.   I then downloaded...

Try booting into Safe Mode with Networking and see if you can download, update, and run MalwareBytes and Spybot S&D from there. Cheers.

Our corporation has been using Symantec Antivirus corporate for years with no problems. We've been very happy with it. We have about 55 client PCs and 5 servers. However, I've heard nothing but awful reviews of their latest version, Endpoint Protection 11. Resource hogging and network issues were major problems cited with this latest edition from Symantec. Because of this, I thought it might ...

Recently I noticed that my copy of AVG free wasn't running (missing from the task bar) (gawd knows how long THAT'S been going on!) and when I tried to manually start it, it complained about the configuration and recomended that I perform a repair. I tried to reinstall it with the "repair" option but that failed, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. However, after running the upgrades, it ...

I suspected a DNS issue, but when I ping a site name it comes back instantly with no delay, and no problems with the ping. I can load up the only game I play (BF2) and it shows me as having a great ping (15ms) to a...
