Discuss any malware you've had. I had a trojan that disguised itself as an anti-virus program. Took forever to get out.

bbbeb · 2011-03-09 17:57:25

Desktop Defender 2011

AVG Pro 2011

Rip ViralOut 2011

Storm (I lived)

And Black Horse.

I lost Starcraft 2 by te last one. And a lot of other stuff.

But system restore = GodMode

My school's computers had a virus that would infect your flash drive whenever you plugged it in. Fortunately, my antivirus at home picked it up.

Scarstar999 · 2011-03-09 18:07:21

Same malware as you.... That was the worst one!

slapperbob · 2011-03-09 18:44:33

AV Defender 2011
Desktop Defender 2010
Inprivacy
Antivirus 2010 (HARD to remove, it installs a rootkit)

Rogues, rogues, and more rogues. I have a whole collection of them. big_smile

I had Win32/Heur yesterday. The AVG forums said the only way to get rid of it was to do a system restore. But I am still on my own computer. big_smile One time, AVG said I also had something like Crypt.XPACK.Gen.

System Restore

And a lot of cleanup

[badjoke]I used to have Windows XP, but I cured it.[/badjoke] I've never had a virus, but I cured a terrible one on a friends computer. It redirected all Google searches to a scam site.

OMG I've had that one before. We had to get an wntirely different computer because it got really bad. My little sister was trying to go the clubpenguin, but it came up with... bad stuff.

krymat · 2011-03-26 01:13:32

I had nothing like a virus before

But I destoryed my computer from WAYYYY to much stuff >_>

PoDo · 2011-03-26 03:51:21

I used to get a virus everyday. Nothing ever happened. I now have an Apple so I haven't had a virus in years.

At school my friend gave the whole class a game called Destroy the Desktop. We had fun with it. Then one day I put my USB in the computer and the virus scan found a trojan in the game.

Moral: Don't get games from other people

I have one. It's called Microsoft Windows.

How is AVG Pro a virus? My family uses it all the time. It was reccomended by a computer repairman, and it takes away viruses.

You are thinking of regular AVG.

AVG, AVG Free, and AVG Internet Security are the real thing.

AVG Pro is a scam, that makes people think it is the real thing by naming it after a trusted AV.

If you really do have AVG Pro, get rid of it with MBAM (Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware), get a real AV, and never hire that repairman ever again, because he/she made you use a fake AV.

Use Dual Boot Click and Distroy. Create a dual boot machine when you think somethings not right use the other OS to manage the infected OS.
Or a virtual PC with online storage. <--- Best protection.

My mom had a virus that totally failed
She was using a mac and it disguised itself as a WINDOWS anti-virus program tongue
