• I was using iDownloaders browser and a message came your device is infected with a virus. I removed the app from my mini iPad 2 but now I feel crashes especially among angry birds. I want to restore, but I fear that the virus will reinstall.

  I used the iDownloaders app browser, (it is a video download application I use for a few years with no problems), when a message came "your machine is infected with a virus please leave the app and contact Apple." I removed the app from my mini iPad 2, but now I meet including crashes in Angry Birds Seasons and Rio. I want to restore the iPad, but I fear that the virus will reinstall themselves as well. Apple did not contact because I never heard of someone who got a virus using iOS. I took it slightly think to delete the iDownloader app would solve the problem. Im running version 9.2 on a retina mini iPad 2. Maybe someone has an answer on what I can try before you contact Apple. I appreciate any suggestions thanks JohnG

  Unless your iPad is jailbroken, it is not infected.  This notice is a well known scam to a fraudulent web site.  You can restore.

• Computer infected with Advanced Virus Remover (pavrm.exe).

  Computer of my granddaughter is infected with Advanced Virus Remover (pavrm.exe) and he turned everything. Disable you the antivirus (Cyberdefender), so I tried Ctrl + Alt + Delete, and the Bishop of tasks has been disabled as well. I then tried to go to the control panel to remove the program, and as soon as I clicked on it, the screen went to a blank desktop. I started in safe mode, but still an empty office. Then booted to a command line and managed to find the APR files in several places. Managed to remove a few files from the command line, but when I try to delete others I get "path not found." Many years since I used BACK, so I don't know if I'm in the commands incorrectly or if it's the virus. What should I try? Thanks for your help.

  You must use a second computer - like the one where you post now - go to the site of BleepingComputer, print out the instructions, download tools, etc. Because you can get into Safe Mode command prompt, you can copy the infected hard disk removal tools and use the CD command to navigate to the executable removal tool. This may or may not work for you.  Instead, it is best to start the computer with a rescue CD antivirus such as those offered by F-Secure, Avira, etc.. Or work with a Bart PE with plugins antivirus/antispyware. These "recovery CD" could get the machine in pretty good shape for you to enter Windows and to carry out analyses, etc..

  The easy solution and the best for a severely infected Windows machine must start with Linux Livecd like Knoppix, backup data on an external hard drive and doing a clean installation of Windows. If the girl is a young person, his Windows installation is probably not extremely complex and the clean install etc will be much less time than to use the methods described in paragraph 1. Of course, if you want to spend the time trying to clean instead, it is your choice.

  Standard WARNING: the advanced practice of the malware removal requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better. If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all shops are skilled at removing malware, and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will have to be properly installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• I'm operating a windows XP Home Edition with service pack 3. Analysis of essential security of a windows shows that my computer is infected with a virus ' "Trojan horse: back/Alureon.A"»

  In January of this year my computer would freeze, or be very slow in its normal operation. This happened constantly. I tried to verify that my windows update check to be sure that I was getting my automatic updates. I was unable to connect to Windows update, no matter how many times I tried. This never happened before. So, I thought that my inability to connect to verify Microsoft Updates could be related to my computer running at a slow speed and / or gel constantly upward. When the computer froze, the only way to recover was to hit the kill switch and crash the computer. After the reboot, the computer could work normally for a period of minutes and resume again slow down and not to freeze completely upwards. For weeks, a Microsoft Tech person (Kevin) worked with me by e-mail and tried to fix my computer problems. Kevin exerted a lot of patience and accompanied me through a series of steps designed to understand what the problem was and fix it. At the time where we ran a Microsoft Scan (Scan, I believe was the name One) followed by an analysis "HijackThis". Kevin then read the results of analysis and recommended destruction of vast print of HijackThis. This has made some slight improvement to operations. As Kevin has attempted to provide additional assistance, I left for vacation. I came back, I did a scan of Microsoft Essential that determined that my computer is infected with a virus called "Trojan:DOS / Alureon.A.

  Hello

  By using the system restore when you have malicious software is not a good idea, although she would go. System restore

  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.
