My scan McAfee Total Protection says I don't have and I had a chat with a technician from McAfee who checked and said: I do not have.  What do you recommend if it happens again?

Hello

If this does not happen all the time and you are able to run a full scan of the system with McAfee, you should be fine. If you want to be on the safe side, you can download Malware Bytes or Microsoft to ensure malware removal tool. Links below...

Malware bytes

Microsoft malicious software removal tool

After scanning with one you will find viruses or malware then delete infected files and your system should be clean. If you scan and can't find any virus or infected, then you have found wrong jump - rises and I don't know how you would fix that. If you can take a screenshot of the pop-up window, it might be useful.

  • My computer is infected with the Virus Zwangi.

    Hey guys. Recently, I downloaded a program of free sound recording a few days ago, and a virus, called Zwangi, is now on my computer. It all started when my free AVG popped up with like 6 cases of virus notifications. I tried to quarantine, then remove them and when I restarted my computer, AVG did not work. I downloaded the ClamWin Antivirus and during the scan with it, remove Zwangi in my program files.

    Recently, I did a system restore before that I downloaded the program, but I still have the same problems...
    (A) every time I try and open my "Documents and Settings" folder (which, I might add, has disappeared from my C drive, it's the place), I get an error box saying "acessable. Access is denied. "
    (B) I have scanned for viruses with ClamWin and got this...

    c:\\windows\ehome\tk-TM\ehepgres.dll.MUI: Trojan.Swizzor.Gen FOUND
    c:\\windows\Installer\44a3b.msi FOUND Trojan.Bagle - 703

    ClamWin said he eliminated the, but I don't notice a difference.

    (C) now, whenever firefox works, I get a pop-up box saying something on the registration of Chrome (that I have not installed), then starts under and addons, I see a Zwangi addon that says there are uninstalled on reboot. The same thing is happening on every reboot.
    (D) now windows defender is stopped.
    (E) there are three processes running on the Task Manager, csrss.exe, winlogon.exe, and atieclxx.exe who have no user or description, and when I try to put an end, it gives me "access denied."

    Aside from wiping the drive (I'm willing to do it), is there something I can do to save my computer?

  • A windows person telephoned to say I had a virus, is it a scam? (UNITED KINGDOM)

    I live in England. I received a call from someone who claims to be from windows, which told me that I had sent a Windows error report and they found a virus on my computer, turn on your computer, and I'll show you how to solve this problem. I asked why my security software had not said this to me. He replied: it was obsolete. I argued that it was not that I had another year subscription. Then he said: this is the security of windows. I was perplexed. He already has on the computer that my daughter was using it. He asked me to turn it on, click on start and then run.  I did follow the instructions I was suspicious. When I looked at my computer that he was stopped, my daughter said that windows Explorer was closed to protect against malware malitious or addon. When I went back to the phone, I asked for a phone number and confirm where he called since then, the line has been cut. I then composed in 1471 to retrieve the number he composed and the phone company was unable to retrieve the number. I'm worried after reading the forum responds that he had somehow access while we were talking on the phone he kept asking me if the computer is turned on. The stop is a coincidence?
