fake defragment malware

by fantax • 10 Dec 2010, 19:50 • Journals
Somehow i got this fake defragment malware on my computer. I dont really know what it is or what it is called. Basicly it makes fake critical errors and runs fake defragment with fake result that says mostly that my laptop will explode any second unless i pay for some crappy program.

More info about the fake defrag http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2371457,00.asp

I got some troubles to get rid of it. So far i've tried to run f-secure virus scan and some random virus detectors that i found from google. Now i've come across with this PC health advisor. Does anyone know the program? how good it detects malware?

Or u know any other way to get rid of this fake defragment stuff? :F

i suck with computers and i have been trying to delete this shit for about 2h and its really getting on my nerves.. o_o

dude just format
if you have this shit you obviously could and probably do have loads of other shit that just doesnt show itself so obviously.
or can you not access your files?

fantax 10 Dec 2010, 20:03
yes i can acces the files. i'd just save so much time if i could solve this some other way..

As i said, the fact that you have this means that you downloaded some infected stuff/visited some malicious site. If you did it is highly likely that this isnt the only thing that came with it, your pc is prolly infected with all kinds of spyware. Even if you managed to remove this virus i would strongly recommend you to format, unless youre keen on having your passwords stolen etc.

A friend had the same shit. Download the trial version of Norton Internet Security. It removed the shit.
