Microsoft Safety Scanner detects Vista Security 2012?

Looking for advice please... My nan recently had Vista Security 2012 on his cell phone, which has been deleted... But its made me paranoid.

I have Microsoft Security Essentials on mine, all of this to this day and I do 3/4 analyses fast and 1 full scan weekly. I downloaded Microsoft Safety Scanner yesterday but wonder if that would detect Vista Security 2012.

Microsoft safety scanner uses the same definitions as Microsoft Security Essentials. You get a lot to run both. If you want a second opinion, use something like the free MalwareBytes anti-malware or SUPERAntiSpyware

For the really paranoid, you can run a scan offline without booting Windows. It must defeat malware that hides itself using a rootkit.

Hello

You do not specify your version of Windows. This troubleshooting should work with Windows 7
Vista or XP.

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 more difficult 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
the regular windows when you can.

Have a pack of service higher than on the DVD is discussed in the links provided.
If you have a DVD of Vista without SP then you will need to uninstall SP1 to use that
disc and later re - install SP1. If you have installed SP1 SP2 disc, then you
you will need to uninstall SP2 to use the disc and later re - install SP2.

I have more virus in my computer, it's just that I think that my Internet connection is too slow. My cousin asked me help on how to get rid of a bunch of virus on his computer at home, that I offered help by using the Scanner, as I do for my friends over the past two months. (I never asked them for anything in Exchange). Do you have any other download links for Microsoft Safety Scanner? I can't try to download. I tried to go outside in cafes Internet just for the download, but its still the same and even worse, computers on these places are full of virus. Other links? Torrent or maybe?

Hello

If McAfee is expired then you must uninstall it and run the McAfee removal tool to avoid problems of
remains of the original. There are recommendations of the antivirus configurations for free below.

McAfee - removal tool
http://service.McAfee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?ID=TS100507

------------------------------

Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

Prevx - Home - free

Windows Firewall

Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

Protected IE - mode

IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
(It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
right of IE)

Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
disabled - click OK
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
Finish those you don't use).
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
or use Google to see how to remove.

http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
(not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

Hi niallmcardle,

· Have you installed a third-party security software?

I suggest you to put the computer in a clean boot State to see if there is any software conflict as clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts and start scanning.

Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting steps, follow step 7 in the link to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

Anyone know what's going on I get the message "Vista Security 2012 Alert" with a so-called analysis showing viruses and malware and asking if I want to get protected by buying something?

Hello

It changes its name, but it's the same Malware program

Win 7 Antispyware 2012, 2012 Antivirus Vistaand XP Security 2012 are all names for the same fake anti-spyware. This family of thieves is promoted in two ways. The first is to use antivirus scanners online fake state that your computer is infected and then prompt you to download a file that will install the infection. The other method are pirated web sites that attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in programs that you run on your computer to install the infection without your knowledge or permission. No matter how it is installed, as soon as it runs on your computer it will install as a variety of names in different programs and graphical interfaces depending on the version of Windows that is running. Whatever the name, however, they all end the same program with just a different skin to this topic. This rogue is going to program different names, one of which I have listed below based on the version of Windows that is installed on:
