BleepingComputer.com: Win-7 Anti-Spyware

WHatever this is, it just totally took over my laptop. My Avira is useless and I can't even open IE to get to BC. Any idea what this is out what I can do (posting this from my smart phone).

Thanks in advance.

I would suggest downloading MalwareBytes to a flash drive from a clean computer, booting your infected mahcine in safemode with networking and run MB off the flash drive to see what it picks up(update MB first). If it will not let you run the MB executable rename it and then try to run it. Delete temp files and check your host file to ensure it hasnt been altered.

I got started up in safe mode. Any links I can follow from BC to get ridda this thing??

reboot to safe mode with Networking. Next follow this Removal Guide here Win 7 Antispyware .
After reading how the malware is misleading you ...
You will move to the Automated Removal Instructions

After you completed that, post your scan log here,let me know how things are.
The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply. Be sure to post the complete log to include the top portion which shows MBAM's database version and your operating system.

Worked like a charm. BC and the genius volunteers that run it are amazing, as always.

Should I buy the full version of MB for protection? I was using Avira when I got attacked so obviously I'm looking for a new AV program...lol.

Hello, it is probably the best $30 you spend. But Keep Avira also they work well together and compliment each other. MBAM is NOT an Antivirus program so you need one. Looks good here and thanks.

Good deal glad you were able to get it fixed!!!


MalwareBytes is most definitely worth the money it’s a fantastic product! I also agree you should keep Avira

You guys are the best!
