How can I get rid of a virus
I accidentally downloaded a virus. My device is frozen, cannot access the internet. The virus requires the payment of $500 to unlock the screen. How can I get rid of the virus
There are ideas and additional links within this Council; However
some of the problems with a 'ransomware' scam can translate by allowing a
real attack once you leave in your phone. Otherwise, it's a bluff.
Phony 'technical support' / 'ransomware' popups and web pages
Most of the items I found in the deal with OS X and a few mention iOS.
There is an article on how to deal with the issues of adware in Safari, which
are based on the ability to boot the device with the browser, in order to
do not keep the same web address, then you can disable the source.
• Stop the pop-up ads and advertising on Safari - Apple Support
The notice of an attack is usually a bluff, iOS and OS X; When you act on
the element as they suggest, to call a phone number or click a button to allow
In addition to access, the issue intensifies; the attacker gets access to the
device and to any payment method available for their "healing" to the attack.
The scam is to get people to think that the answer is the warning, but it's
fake; acting so on him with faith is the quicksand.
Maybe you can start the machine with the browser disabled (or extensions turned off)
to see if you can follow through with the ideas presented in above links.
These ideas helped others in the past, and avoidance is the best remedy.
Good luck in this case!

If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
the cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run

How can I get rid of this virus?
I have WebrootAnywhere on my computer (drafted by a professional). I have a root Virus any and he will not be cured by running webroot.
How can I get rid of this? It affects the use of the Internet and a computer analysis very slow.
You mean you have a rootkit? You may need to run TDSSkiller from Kaspersky. Also programs like Kaspersky Virus Removal tool, malwarebytes, superantispyware, scan microsoft security. If you are unable to access the internet from this computer, then you must download on another computer and place it on your computer in reader flash etc.. You can do this during the boot safe mode (press F8 repeatedly when you turn on the computer) because some viruses can copy themselves to removable media. First run TDSSkiller then scan with anti-virus.

as you don't have a vista dvd you most likely have a vista recovery partition on your hard drive to your computer back to how it was purchased
There are different ways to reinstall vista:
Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

How can I get rid of the virus JS/Redir?
whenever I work with firefox, AVG tells me about a virus JS/Redir. I click on delete and AVG of States, he put in quarantine. However, it will always return. AVG dialog box displays the file mozilla profile; adblockplus\cache.js. I deleted it, but the problem persists. This problem only occurs with firefox. I reluctantly have to use IE untul that this is resolved.
Thanks for these tips that I followed with success. The virus has been alerted by AVG, with whom I also scanned the C drive. The virus has been moved by AVG in the forties, when I removed it, but he returned on several occasions whenever I used Firefox. AVG has identified the resident virus in a cache file in a folder "adblock", in the Firefox profile. Reset Firefox has created a new profile, which did not contain a folder "adblock". The virus was not returned. I deleted the previous profile. I don't know why "adblock" was in the original profile, but you might consider this and take measures to prevent such a situation in the future.
Thanks again.
