Well my kids had the day off from school today and managed to get my computer infected with this malware virus.

Going though the procedures to remove it now. I am seriously thinking o beating one or both of them.

You may have to rename the malwarebytes installation and executable files to get them to work, some malware wont let it install or start up. With this program you'll fix it easily, kids will be kids.

I'm currently posting from my uninfected net book. I think everyone should have a spare emergency computer for situations like this. According to the removal instructions you have to use an uninfected computer to get the programs to remove the virus.

My work computer decided to catch it as well.  Sad part is that it somehow it caused my computer to not be able to open most of my normal apps.  I guess the IT guy gonna have his hands full in the am.

Of ALL the shitty malware, you picked the worst.  A friend got this last year, and I tried everything to remove it.  Totally and completely fucked the machine and most of the shit on it.  Good luck.

I didn't think you can run malwarebytes on a thumbdrive.... I've always ran it off a LiveCD

Just fought this battle over the weekend on one of our computers that got badly hijacked. Malwarebytes from a USB was a no go - would run but missed the infection. System Restore from a 2 day old restore point fixed what mwb and spybot couldn't.

I used System Mechanic Pro to unload that piece of shit from my machine in FL, but it still hosed a few programs like the Google IP address for example- I can't run Google at all.

Well like you the malware remover did not work, I never even thought about the system restore. Ran that back 2 days prior and so far seems like it's gone. If your ever this way I owe you a beer!

I had to deal with that piece of sh*t earlier this week.  F'n scumbags.

I did it without using a thumb drive by editing the registry to remove the commands that run the program on startup, etc.  Then restarted and ran Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Program.

Follwed instructions and links to freeware here: How to Remove Antivirus 2010

I bookmarked that guy's blog for future reference  DeleteMalware Blog

Don't blame the kids.  This was all your fault for letting them browse the internet on an Administrator account.  You should have set up a Guest account for them to use so nothing could be installed no matter how hard they tried.  If you don't know what I'm talking about then you need to take a night class and learn how to use the features and settings right in front of you.  And if your do know what I'm talking about then you failed to take basic precautions before handing your PC over to the children.

The main goal of Antivirus 2010 is to trick you into purchasing the full version of the program. Of course, you shouldn't do that. This is nothing more but a scam because it prompts you to pay for a full version of the program to remove the threats which don't even exist in the first place.


Since you have to send $ somewhere, the destination should be traceable.

So why aren't these fuckers dead?

That virus killed all restore points on my sisters computer and at the time I did not know I could rename malwarebytes to get it to run. The virus would not let me download anything and would not let my virus scan run properly.

This program gets it all out.



I tried McAfee, Spybot, TrendMicro and they all left parts behind.



The free program above was the only things that worked.
