My son who is vacationing in Europe/ is coming home. I used his personal and it got infected. ( He is going to kill me when he gets home. I cleared the disgusting junk. I was dead. I put in all sorts of virus removers and now. NO adult material is showing BUT ads saying to buy Protectors. ( Ive tried all) and it is stalled. I cant remove all. He has his stuff on for his MBA work. HELP..
Answer:
Those ads that are telling you to buy protectors is just even more viruses and crap you know that right? Uninstall all of them and use ad aware
http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-2008/30…
then after that i would even go a step further and run trendmicro home call
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
Answer:
go to www.cnet.com download ad-aware 2008 and spybot search and destroy run both of those and they should clean everything out. also you can do a system restore to a date before you used it to make sure all the settings are back but this won't effect any data. you can e-mail me with any other issues also its pretty simple to repair.
Answer:
Well make a system restore.
Please do as follows:-
Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-System Restore.
Choose the date a day before your son had left home for vacation. This would restore your system in the same working condition in which it was working in his presence.
Goodluck;)
Answer:
you tried all the protectors? Id drop it off a cliff and tell him the dog did it-
Answer:
Phony pop-up alert boxes, background changes or “balloon” pop-ups from the tray (by the clock) about a trojan, virus or spyware infection and the attempt to sell you some useless “protector” to “fix” the problem usually indicates that your computer has a Smitfraud infection. DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR BUY THE PRODUCT THEY TRY TO SELL YOU! IT IS SCAM. It is really extortion-ware, first they infect your, I mean his machine, then they want $$$ to remove it.
Sounds like your computer might have a variant of this Smitfraud infection.
Nearly all “general purpose”,”all-in one” spyware and virus removal programs such as AVG Anti-virus, Norton, McAfee or Spybot S & D cannot remove it, as you’ve already found out.
Free specialised Smitfraud removal tool is here (SmitfraudFix)
http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix…
After running SmitfraudFix, to clean-up any remaining infection traces, scan for trojans,
and spyware and remove (free online scan, no downloaded program) with Ewido On the internet Scanner ( now known as AVG Anti-Spyware). This is NOT the same as AVG Anti-Virus. Press “Online Scan” on the right.

To prevent re-infection:
This type of infection (Smitfraud) is often spread by tricking the user into downloading and installing something, a “codec” or a “media player” of some site in order to make the site work. Usually a video site. Never grant a website to force a download on you to make something unless you 1000% know and trust the site. A great many of these downloads are trojans or other malware. Always know exactly what you are downloading! If you’re not sure, DON'T!
Or it can be caused by a website exploiting vulnerabilities in Windows. Keeping Windows 100% patched and updated with all Windows updates will stop most of this infection avenue. To check, in IE click Tools > Windows Updates.
Good luck.
