If you are like me, and use Google and review/surf many adult sites during your quest for advertising or general surfing... eventually you will run into this nasty virus that seems to be lurking around in many Google referenced sites and many many adult galleries (those shitty crooked fucked up ones)
Here's how it goes:
1) While you are on a strange gallery page, all of a sudden a program pops up in your screen and an "anti virus" scan starts running.
Might look something like this, but is will read 2010 instead of 2009 in this pic:
First off,
DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING!!! Just by seeing this, your computer is now infected. Yes, without even clicking on something, the program virus has infected your system.
When you see this, along with some pop ups in your lower right hand tool bar, here are the steps you can take to 100% save your computer.
1) Turn your computer off at the
power source. Again, do not click anything, turn your computer off by holding down the power button. Do a complete shut down. If you haven't saved any of your working data, that's a loss you'll have to take. Better than losing your entire system.
2) Turn your computer back on in the "safe mode."
3) System Restore your computer a couple days back. This will restore your original system configuration prior to this attack. (go to control panel, performance and maintanence, look for "system restore" and go back a day or so.) Sometimes when you reboot in safe mode, the computer might ask you if you want to do a system restore.
4) Reboot.
5) Go to:
http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and download their FREE Malware scanner.... install it and run a full scan. It will find the remaining bug and you can delete it.
Whew!
Your system will be 100% back to normal.
I have 2 systems.... my first system got infected with this nasty ass bug, and after days of research and trying every fix on every blog, there is NO WAY to remove it. I had to re install Windows and re install all my programs. Also, after I was infected, just running malware or norton after the fact, doesn't do shit. The virus goes in deep. You have to catch it at the early stage and kill that fucker before it kills your system.
My 2nd system got the same virus, and I pulled the plug on my computer and ran the steps above and was 100% free and clear of that bug.
It's a very nasty virus and if you don't fix it, within days none of your links will work and your entire system will become corrupted.
Hope this information will save your computer as it did mine. (the 2nd time)
