ok this just happen to me it look like microsoft releas a program to help is find off virises well when this program would not go away and i had to do a system restore to get rid of it. if you get this i recomond to get rid of it and not buy it no tell what it will do just some thing for you to pay money for that dont work
It was likely some virus that was posing as security software. One of those deals that'll tell you that you have over 1,000 infections or some shit and that you need to pay for the program in order to fix it. Anyways, moved to non-emulation help
That's very likely what happened. The only thing close to what he's describing that I can think of is the "Microsoft Genuine Software Tool" or what ever they call it that comes with every version update that checks to make sure you aren't pirating any Microsoft software.
not sure i dont take any of microsoft programs and they dont have a fucking right to do that to my computer could not get on the internet at all i for got the name is like vista malware 2010. any ways fucking i disaple my updates so i am not get any more up date from them they have now lost my last respect of them. i will play they 360 and there games and contnue to be a xbox live mem but i will not tolaraet so trying to hack in to my computer to see if i have any of there programs
Microsoft has nothing to gain by exploiting the security flaws in its own OS. You had malware. You can avoid getting malware by not being an idiot with what you download or install. There are many reasons to lose respect for Microsoft, but this isn't one of them.
Yes Tirith,I think this is what you mean http://blogs.technet.com/mmpc/archive/2010/02/24/if-it-calls-itself-security-essentials-2010-then-it-s-possibly-fake-innit.aspx People could quite easily think they are installing Microsoft Security Essentilas.
IS Microsoft Security Essentials EVEN GOOD? I mean the moment I read "Microsoft" in the name of the AV I immediately had my doubts if it was any good.
I had this virus two weeks ago (if it's the one i think it is). It's called the Antivirus Soft Virus. System restore didn't work for me; i had to uninstall it manually. I can't be certain if it'll affect your P.C in the same way, but when it infected me and stopped me accessing my applications, if i rebooted; as soon as the desktop becomes usable i had about five seconds in which to launch an application before the virus started blocking everything. I used this time to run the applications and access the registry to purge it from my system. I think that it got onto my computer through IE temporary files despite the fact that i rarely use it. The security software i currently run is Malwarebytes (full edition) and ESET Smart Security 4; they have stopped me getting reinfected so far... It has gotten good reviews but i don't know how effective it is against this particular virus...
It actually came top of a respected review-it beat Kaspersky and Nod32. Your virus was probably hiding in the SVI so it would keep coming back until you deleted all your system restore points.
