Need information on security companies to remove the virus

Do I need to hire a security such as the epcassist firm to clean my computer of koobface virus?

Do you have?

We have no idea of your level of computer skills, or what information you have on the system you want to make sure you are protected which is not already saved disaster (you know, information that is important to you, you lose rather it not important.)

If you're not very good with computers and make your way around them - you would be probably better to find someone to clean it for you.  Be warned many will suggest just a CLEANING of the system and start over - so all of your installation, product keys and serial numbers ready support and I hope that your backups are up to date.

  • How to remove the virus boostspeed.exe

    How to remove the virus boostspeed.exe

    Hi Laurence,.

    As far as I KNOW, you're talking about Auslogics Bootspeed, and it is a program (even if some consider how he acts and what he does to be very similar to how the system will react as if he was infected).  For technical support, see: http://www.auslogics.com/en/support/.

    If it's this product, there seems to be any special product online removal process (but perhaps custom support can help). If it isn't this product or there is nothing like it on your system, then why do you assume that it is a virus - are guessing you or some AV programs, told you that (and if so, which) and how locate you the file name as being the problem?  What is the full path to the file (for example, C:\Program Auslogics... or other)?    What security software you have installed (all names and the exact version of each)?  What version of Windows are you using?  Indeed, please see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 for ideas on other information that will help us.  The more we know, the better we can help and the more focused we can make recommendations.

    I would try the following: start by creating a system restore point, and then back up the registry as well (just to be on the safe side).

    Download the free Revo: http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html and use it in advanced mode to completely remove Auslogics Bootspeed.  If it does not work because it says it is running (which is possible if there is probably not), then start safe mode and try again to remove use Revo in Mode safe.  The chances of success are much higher now that it is not likely to be running in Mode safe.

    I hope this helps.  Please get back to us in all cases, and if it haunts you again, please answer these questions as well as what happened when you tried to remove it as suggested.  On this basis, we will have a better idea if we treat just a difficult program to remove or legitimate an infection of any (or possibly both) and take the necessary measures from there - but we need to learn more and to see if the simple answer works (or why it failed).  We desperately need your help here (provision of information) to be able to help (with recommendations and options and courses of action - or more questions).

    Thanks and good luck!

  • AntiVirus 2010 Removal, the virus blocks MalwareBytes running

    I downloaded the MalwareBytes software to remove the virus "AntiVirus 2010" ", but as soon as I run the program a window pops up saying" Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.» You don't have the appropriate permissions to access the item "."

    I read about the virus on bleepingcomputer.com and apparently it's a part of the defense of viruses to block his own abduction. The site recommends open "cmd.exe" and paste in what follows to allow access, people left comments saying that it works. But for me the virus it just cancel again once in about 30 seconds and MalwareBytes continues to crash.

    Cacls "c:\program Malwarebytes Anti - Malware\mbam.exe" / g everyone: F

    It would be also worth noting, the virus also causes McCaffee crashing, and Avast is not in a full system scan. For some reason any and I'm not sure if it's the work of the AntiVirus 2010... or just a glitch. When I go to restore my PC to a previous date list times and dates back to the restoration of the system is empty, I never had to try it before today, so maybe it's just one little problem that previously existed. Needless to say that the 2 common solutions of Malwarebytes or a system restore fail epicly no fault of mine.

    I'm not computer illiterate, but I would not be able to remove it manually to be honest. Format my PC is looking like the only option at this point...

    Heeeeeelp. :(

    You can download and run a full scan of the system using the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if this helps to eliminate the Virus.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note:

    The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  • How to remove the virus Windows Task Optimizer

    I am running a MAC operating system with a hard disk partitioned with MAC on one partition and Windows XP on the other.  I was trying to download a file from internet on my Windows operating system and an Interface of Microsoft for Windows Task Optimizer displayed on my screen.  I thought it was a real application of MS, ran the software, but it turns out not to be legitimate.  Since this task Windows optimizer, I got my user administrator rights revoked and the fake user took over my machine.  I tried to get the fix for the problem of 2 different PC unsuccessfully service centers.

    My files are encrypted and technology that works on my PC told me that some of the files can be transferred to external device, but the files are not able to be open.  It seems that, given that I'm more the administrator of my PC and the encryption was granted by my user profile before that my user profile was raised as a hostage, most of the files cannot be transferred to the external device, and for files that can be transferred, and the file cannot be opened.  I thought that I must now spend $700,00 to be an attempt at data recovery service to recover my files.  I need to access the files, but this seems to be very expensive.

    Is there a solution to find the administrative rights on my PC to remove the virus and recover all my data?  The service I have do deal with wants to wipe my entire PC and re-install MAC and Windows XP operating systems.  This doesn't seem to be a real solution to my problem.

    Hi Linda80,

    You should be able to find the built-in safe mode administrator account. Check to see if the following is useful.

    Method 1: Try to start in safe mode with network. Look for the administrator account.

    Method 2: If available, connect and see if you can run the Microsoft Safety Scanner refer to the following link to do the same.

    Microsoft Safety Scanner - free online tool for PC health and safety

    Check if the files can be opened after the scan. Alternatively, you can try to backup these files on an external hard drive.

    Method 3: See if you can give to your account administrator rights.

    1. Right click on my computer. Click on manage.
    2. Expand local users and groups. Click on groups.
    3. Double-click Administrators. Click on Add.
    4. Enter the name of the account on this machine that you want to assign administrator privileges for.
    5. Click on OK. Restart the computer in normal mode to check the issue.

    Hello

    Nothing in the Temp folder, you can just delete or run Disk Cleanup. However you
    you will need to carefully inspect that it creates.

    Run DiskCleanup - start - all programs - Accessories - System Tools - Disk Cleanup

    ======================================================

    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.

  • Any help to remove the virus startnow? Im running Windows 7.

    Hello

    I am running Windows 7 and it seems that I am infected by the bug "startnow.  I get redirected to their page without asking for confirmation.  I was able to remove the program file, but it does not solve the problem.  I found a bit about it on the net, but no corrective measures.  I ran the Windows Security Scanner with no result.  Found a step by step, recommend deleting the [random] .exe in the menu of the process in the Task Manager.  I have not found any such process.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance
    Don.

    Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    -

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    -

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To do that click on start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    `

    When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.
