Malware did install, run and remove some stuff. It does not look like it's current active though. Is this correct? I do not see an icon at the bottom for it.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware does not become resident. It will only run when commanded.

Variol, what are your current symptoms? Also, STOPzilla is not all that good IMO. I don't see where anyone recommended that in this thread.

Variol (Farseer) Elmwood · 03-02-2009, 09:10 AM

Nobody recommended anything at the time, so i just did a search and that was the first one to come up. That's why I ask for links, or specific brands of software, so I have the right stuff.

If you ever decide to give SuperAntiSpyware free a chance...

http://www.superantispyware.com/

Look under the Popular links box for the free download. You may on occasion get a reminder to try upgrading to the $ version but you never have to and they will update regardless (but you have to manually do it).

If it does a good job, I don't mind paying for it. These people need to make money too. ..I hope they're not the ones causing these issues though. I would be a brilliant scheme!

LOL! But what you say has some truth to it especially those that pop up and say, "You've been infected! Download so and so to fully remove, blah, blah, blah." The truth is...

1. They're the ones that infected you so that...

2. You'll download their product to remove it. When all the time...

3. Their product is one giant malware.

* I've seen this happen way to often and had to fix a few systems, including on my brother-in-law's PC but he doesn't want to heed my warnings but wants me to fix it.

*** But SAS is fully legit (listen to me, it sounds like I'm one of their salesman, but I'm not!). Compare their $ version to the free and decide what is best for you.

Ok, here is the result:

I'm guessing this is a "false positive"? I have not taken any action yet.

Albromor · 03-02-2009, 02:15 PM

Adware.WinSrc is *not* a false positive. Either delete or quarantine.

Variol (Farseer) Elmwood · 03-02-2009, 02:20 PM

Ok, it's gone.
The other is fine though?

I took the other 2 out and I'm on the phone to get my money back from STOPzilla.
