Kaspersky Anti-virus help needed!

<< < (2/3) > >>

Hi Matt,

Normally it's "malware", not a virus.

A Malware is just a piece of software script that interacts with your system when you do something specifically (on that case to open websites).

Anti-virus don't catch those. So, you should have a specific malware cleaner for that malware script.

EHM-2310 Mark:
Yeah, sounds like malware to me. Have a look at these 3 programs:

Spybot Search and Destroy (www.spybot.com)
Ad-Aware (www.lavasoft.com)
Threatfire (www.threatfire.com)

One of them should clean up your PC.. and they're free for non-commercial use too :-)

Cheers

Well, I called Dave, the computer guy ;D

He said I had a very "tricky" form of Malware on my computer, and after battling with it for 2 hours, he managed to get rid of it. It was scary as he'd uninstall Kaspersky and say "Matt, the computer is unprotected and in your hands while I install this anti-virus". I felt like I was in the Chernobyl control room!

Thanks for your help guys! ;D

EHM-2288 Glenn:
Great. My worst case scenario didn't get reality. Great :)

Hopefully he got rid of everything, so you don't get the same problem at a later stage.

But I hope it turns out great for your computer. Nice job of your computer guy Dave. :)

Hi Matt !

Just red your problem and I think it is funny. I got into the same situation in the office - you probably visited a nasty page, aren't you ;D - and if I remember well, the Kaspersky was used that time, and that could kill the bastard invader with an easy quick scan. Maybe these bugwares became smarter and smarter. ;D
