Well I cleaned the netbook and over the weekend it was infected with something else….

I will beat this stupid virus, while trying to update using windows update, it catches another stupid virus. This time appears to be Antivirus System Pro this is a rouge program trying to trick you into spending money on an antivirus that does not even exist, basically you give your payment information to a remote location. They in turn can use the information to buy whatever they want.



Here’s how to fix:

Step 1 you need to kill the processes for this particular virus, i used a program called rkill. There are four versions to try, try the exe version first if virus stops it thrn use the .com version, it will stop it the first couple of times.

Rkill.exe http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/rkill.exe
Rkill.com http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/rkill.com
Rkill.scr http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/rkill.scr
Rkill.pif

Step 2: Once you are done stopping this worm, you need to remove all the temp files, download this utility

Step 3: Download Malware Bytes antimalware program http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebytes_Anti-Malware_d5756.html Install this program and then run a quick scan on your system let it finish.

Step 4: If MalwareBytes fails try SmitFraudFix

I think I am going to start keeping some virus fixing stuff on my blog now
