Deleting a virus? Mackkeeper?

On a old computer backup (Applecare long since expired) an insidious message keeps popping up that looks as if it was planted there by Mackkeeper, I've tried stupidly years there. I will try to attach a message that keeps popping up. How can I get rid of this? Help, please. Thanks Tom in Texas. MacBook Pro 10.9.4

    If you use pre-installed version McAffe, you should know that it is trial version and after three months, I think you should decide to keep and pay for the license or obtain other antivirus applications.
    What I use is Avira Antivirus. It's a free and very good application. I use AdwCleaner for the removal of other boring stuff of the toolbars or mailware in general. You can test these two applications to clean your machine.

    In General, I'm pretty skeptical with virus so in my opinion you should backup all of your important data and reinstall Windows using original image of recovery that was shipped (preinstalled) on your machine.

  • Hi, the reversible full system recovery or whole computer disappeared forever? Also do a full recovery deletes all viruses and malware.

    In addition, I did a restore of the entire system using 4 built on samsungs recovery solutions my laptop twice in recent weeks that I was worried about malware and viruses hidden.

    Hello

    A restore to factory normally wipes the hard drive clean of everything except at the start of the recovery process, it asks you if you want to perform a non-destructive recovery.

    And it is irreversible.

    Normally, the destructive recovery will wipe a malicious software.

    This program can recover data, even after a reinstall:

  • Delete a file called "wre.exe", now two of my virus scanners will not work and nor does internet Explorer, how to fix?

    I took my computer to the shop twice to fix the same virus, and then I got it again. This time, I decided to try to fix myself because obviously they couldn't do it, despite having taken $200 from me.

    my mother gave me Norton antivirus, and its history has shown me where the file kept showing in taskmanager, so I went there and deleted. the virus seems to have disappeared and to a large extent, my computer seems to work but I can't run microsoft security essentials or antimalware bytes. haven't tried my other programs yet, but I know that I can still read PDF files, and I can see my photos. the icon of internet explore doesn't work, I got in line to say things to try to find the file online. whenever I try to go online, or use one of my two antivirus, it tells me to choose a program to use to open it.

    is there anyway that I can fix this? really get rid of the virus? I can't afford to have this fixed thing again, and of course, they are unable to him anyway.

    If you like not what it was, I think it was called xp antivirus 2012 or something similar.

    in fact, its virus programs not only blocking, his block anything that does not use another program to run, like adobe or realplayer. I am sure that it changed something. I'll try this thing to scan in any case, just to see if it finds anything. If it isn't, I have no choice but to do a complete reinstall of windows.

    is there a risk to the installation of an operating system from an obsolete drive severely? as in will be my computer be infected again until he finally update all the way?

    First of all, you can not delete a file by using the Task Manager. You can choose to terminate a process but cannot remove a file that you have indicated above in your initial post.

    Second, you can't have the two Microsoft Security Essentials and Norton installed on the same machine. Conflict reducing your coverage and possibly even cause a blue screen.

    Thirdly, you are unable to open due to the malware programs change you file associations of executable files.

    Fourthly, you have problems to connect to the internet most likely because the malicious software modified your internet connection settings.

    It will be easy to fix if you follow my instructions carefully.

    With the help of a good working computer and flash drive you mentioned above download the four files below save them on the flash drive.

    XpExeFix.reg

    RKill

    RemoveProxy

    Malwarebytes< it="" doesn't="" matter="" that="" you="" may="" already="" have="" malwarebytes="" downloaded.="" use="" the="" one="" on="" the="" link="" i="" provided.="" it="" has="" been="" renamed="" to="" allow="" it="" to="" run="" on="" infected="">

    Now take the flash drive for infected patients. Open the flash drive. Right-click on XpExeFix.reg and choose merge. Confirm the prompt. You should receive a message that the information has been added to the registry.

    Then, double-click RemoveProxy and run it. Once the operation is completed, you should be able to access the internet. If you are unable to run the file go to the step below and run RKill and then return to this step.

    Then, from the flash drive double click on RKill and choose to run it. It may take a while to complete but, just let it run. You will get a window similar to that of the command prompt and must be informed when the process is complete.

    Once the RKill completed, double-click Malwarebytes and choose to install it. Update to update the installation, then run a full scan. Remove any detected object. If you are unable to update just for some reason any run it.

    Post when you have completed these steps for additional instructions.

  • Had a virus on the computer, deleted, now I have problems with the homegroup and DSN

    Cause of my current problem:

    2 weeks ago, I found that my computer has a virus. He removed the BFE service, firewall Windows, Windows Defender, blocked my anti-virus (Trend Micro), cut other security services... he pretty well blocked, deleted or close all my computer security programs.

    I was able to fix, but my computer did not work in the same way.

    I was able to return back BFE and Windows Firewall, turn on other security services and get up my antivirus and running. 2 weeks later my antivirus deleted 9 virus and thousand and something web threats.

    Now to my current problem:

    I was able to establish the homegroup on my computer, but when I check the files that I want to share, Save custom settings, same when I go to a folder and select 'share with homegroup' manually

    When I hit Homegroup troubleshooting need to network troubleshooting and I end up getting this error "your computer seems to be configured correctly, but the device or resource (DNS server) is not responding"

    I tried following this threat: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/erroryour-computer-appears-to-be-correctly/aeb7b5df-55ac-456e-aba3-96f9d90898d6

    Did not work. I tried reseting my router and modem but nothing. I can't first homegroup to work if I does not resolve the DNS.

    This problem is probably due to the fact that the virus tried to redirect my DSN to computer hackers, but

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

    modem: Motorola MIPDSLA

    Router: Cisco Linksys E1000

    any other information needed on my computer please let me know

    Sorry for this post is really long, I tried to summarize as much as I could

    I thank all those who took the time to re-read this threat and decided to help me.

    Although there is a small chance, you may be able to fix this on a service by service method, it is may be easier (and faster) to do a clean install.

    I would also mention that if you got a virus to trend was obviously not a very good job of protecting you.  May want to rethink the installation of malicious software program.

  • Virus or not?

    Hello community,

    When I tried to type in youtube in my url, I mistyped but supported on enter. This weird site sent me to a few different sites and ultimately, there was a great message that I had downloaded a virus. Also, there is a popup that was told to close OK to remove the virus (but I couldn't press only close OK).

    Have I really downloaded a virus? because it would be really obvious that you should delete the virus if the site allows for really you download a virus?

    Thank you in advance.

  • Why Microsoft Security Scan detects TrojanSy:win32 / Banker.SW but do not delet it

    I have the scanner provided by Microsoft, itdetects TrojanSy:win32 / Banker.SW, but do not delet it, WHY IS the following, AND WHAT to DO to DELET THIS VIRUS

    Download the free version of this tool. Look for updates and do a quick scan first. It will take a few minutes. She will most likely find the Trojan horse and allow you to remove it, but make a full analysis later to be sure. It will take 1 ~ 2 hours.
