• Malware 'Vista Internet Security 2010'

  My wife's computer uses Vista Home OS and installed Panda Internet Security (updated).  I used this antivirus / firewall for many years without any problems.  An app called 'Vista Internet Security 2010' literally took over the regular computer pop ups saying that it has detected the main recorder software and lists a large number of another virus which he claims to have detected.  This application is not visible under installed programs and I found impossible to remove it or disable it.  Constantly, he asked at registration and of course a payment and blocks all access to the internet.  Another popup when opening internet explore request permission for a file named "av.exe" to access the internet.  I looked for this file (System and hidden files visible), but it is not visible in the given location.

  My main computer with this particularly vicious malware infected family member.   I followed the instructions in a post on this site about MalwareBytes, but who has failed for me.

  I was finally able to disable temporarily by running the Windows Task Manager.  Use this, I have found the application of 'Vista Internet Security 2010' and kill a few minutes both pure and simple.  Then, right-click on this entry for the purposes of ' Vista Internet Security 2010 ", I could then click on 'Go to the process' to find the name of the rogue processes involved."  For me, the process of thugs was appointed AV EXE.  Then, I was able to find and remove the AV. EXE file.

  However, it was catastrophic in terms of my computer in general, since I've found while the rogue malware had also changed my registry.  In fact, some. EXE registry entries had been modified to refer to something as "DRY".  My general for registry entries. EXE, were damaged as well.  For example, after killing AV. EXE, my computer had almost ceased to exist.  I could run any. EXE to all programs.

  But, finally, I have found that I coulld run. EXE by right-clicking on them, running programs 'run as administrator '.  I was then able to repair my broken registry by setting the. EXE file association link, by the use of http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/165/1/Restore-the-exe-file-association-in-Windows-Vista-after-incorrectly-associating-it-with-another-application.html.

  The procedure described above may not be perfect [there should be managed independently by someone else].  But it can be useful.  This virus is particularly nasty.

  Rich

  PS by the way, I have to admit that I was also a little irritated by the people of Norton AntiVirus.  Their software, I paid a few dollars over the years to use was useless.  I called support.  Rather than use my case as a way to improve and fix their software, they wanted to charge me $99.  The end result is that over time, I intend to go to MalwareBytes.

• Norton Internet Security 2010 automatically close Windows Defender? __

  My set up:

  Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium, Vista SP2

  HP Desktop

  Modem DSL Connection

  Norton Internet Security 2010

  I just installed Norton Internet Security 2010. I get a pop up notice of Windows indicating that Windows Defender is disabled. When I had Norton Antivirus/spyware 2008 (that I used until the installation of Norton Internet Security 2010) Windows defender was on, but not in real time.  Then, when I'd go to

  The Task Manager > click on the Services tab > click on the Services button in the lower right

  This will display a list of Services. I scroll down and find the Windows Defender Service

  It shows NOT on and manual start

  Before the instalation of Norton Internet Security 2010, it has shown as Started and startup type automatic

  Is this the right setting with Norton Internet Security installed? I do not use Windows Defender, but I read that the Windows Defender Service is responsible for other things in addition to anti-spyware scanning.

  So should I change the startup type?

  and start the service?

  Or, as I said if I don't use it. leave it alone?

  Q. "Norton Internet Security 2010 automatically closes Windows Defender?"

  A. Yes.  It uses its own antispyware software.  Having two different types will result in conflicts and compatibility issues.

• DNSchanger removal of malware problem; MS security scanner won't work.

  I've been infected by what I assume to be the DNSchanger malware. 9/10 times that I'm trying to access a page from a google search, they simply open habit, I'm not re-directed, but they won't open. If I try to go to my dell's internet home page, it will load up, then redirect me to some site summary spam/ad.

  I downloaded the two microsoft security scanner and repair program Avira DNS. I ran Avira, it says it works. Then to remove the malware itself, I run the scanner.

  (I'm just following the instructions of google, gave me when I googled something he says my computer is infected and gives me instructions on how to remove DNSchanger malware).

  But once it's done scanning it will ask me if I want to delete potentially unwanted software. The only thing that is listed under the potentially unwanted software is called: Win32/PowerRegScheduler, which is apparently an .exe file which is located in an other users (of the computer, there are three different profiles on the computer) folder progr. If I chose I would delete potentially unwanted software, it immediately stops and restarts my computer. Even if I select I want this deleted software and click on next, skip the removal of the software, he always immediately stops and restarts my computer. I tried running a full scan and a quick scan. Nothing works. Help, please!

• 'Vista Internet Security' claims that I have infections but other software do not find them; asking me to purchase the program before deleting infections; balloons of warning that I can't turn off is displayed.

  Hello

  A program called 'Vista Internet Security' randomly started scanning my computer today, even if I was not said or was even aware I had. She argues there are 33 infections on my PC and than remove them I have to sign up and buy the program (which I do not!). Even if I click remind me later or leave unprotected it pop again alerts such as Stealth Inrusion balloons! Misuse of the system! System Danger! Found tracking software! Security breach! and private life threatening! It resembles a formal program, but it is not on my PC anywhere. It says 'upgrade to the full version of Vista Internet Security security software now! Clean your system and avoid new attacks. »

  I ran the Spybot program, but he found nothing. I have installed McAfee so I ran which but he found nothing also. I am running Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware scan but it has yet to find anything.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-Internet-Security-2010

  Internet Security 2010 is a fake anti-spyware that is installed through the use of malicious software. Once installed, Internet Security will be configured to start automatically when you log in to Windows. It will then scan your computer and display many infections, but will not remove anything until you purchase the program. These infections, however, are all fake and are only to demonstrate that they trick you into thinking you are infected so that you then purchase the program. It goes without saying that you should definitely not buy this program.

  Follow the steps CORRECT on the link above to remove it, including STOP the THIEF treat 1st before you scan them for it with Malwarebytes:

  1. Print out these instructions we will have to close each open window later in the fix.
  2. Before we do anything, we must first end to the processes that belong to Internet Security 2010 so that it does not interfere with the cleaning procedure. To do this, download the following file on your desktop.

     Rkill.com download link

  3. Once it is downloaded, double-click on the rkill.com in order to try automatically stop all processes related to Internet Security 2010 and other Rogue programs. Please be patient while the program seeks to various malware programs and end to them. When it's over, the black window will close automatically and you can continue to the next step. If you get a message that rkill is an infection, don't be concerned. This message is just a fake warning given by Internet Security 2010, when it terminates programs that can potentially remove. If you encounter these infections warnings that close Rkill, a tip is to leave the warning on the screen and then run Rkill again. By without closing the warning, this typically will allow you to bypass the malware trying to protect itself so that rkill can terminate Internet Security 2010. So, please try to run Rkill until malware is no longer running. You will then be able to proceed with the rest of the guide.

     Do not restart your computer after running rkill as malware programs will start again.

     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  As this infection deletes a core of Malwarebytes executable', we will need to download a new copy of it and place it in the folder Anti - Malware\ C:\program Malwarebytes'
