And that worked with all Apps, except for Dr. I would of course always tell it to download the File. Before downloading each Apps, IE8 would inform me that it had prevented the App from downloading for security purpose and prompted me with what I wanted to do. They all downloaded without incident, except for Dr. my Dial Up) There must have been a total of 10 or 12 Apps I had on my list to download. In addition to those Apps, I also tacked onto my list other regular Apps since I'd be using their High Speed Internet. I went last evening to my nephew's place to download and burn into a CD everything I was going to need for my attempt at disinfecting my sister's computer. Oh, Okay, I'll kick Hijack This to the curb. I see the SAS on there is NOT the latest version. WwwwwwWHOA! That's a LOT of stuff on that Hiren's BootCD. I guess I'll use it in Enhanced Mode then. I think what's infiltrated the computer has really messed up the System Tray. I could just barely tell it was even avast. If I get the computer working properly tomorrow, I just might uninstall avast and reinstall it from scratch and make sure it's up to date. I don't know if it's in good condition or what. I have no idea if the avast that the dude has in there right now is even up to date. Web Cureit because if I understand correctly, it too already comes with the latest Updates in it, ready to use. And likewise, that's why I also for the first time ever want to try Dr. That's why I'm really hoping SAS Portable zeroes in on the culprit since it comes with the latest Updates already on it. without any Updates because as I mentioned, the computer is so bad right now that there is no Net access. Unfortunately I'll only be able to run the MBAM Scan as is. Oh, I plan on taking Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware on that CD also, Pondus.

does that mean it doesn't have a Quarantine function? Does it only have Repair (Cure) and Delete or what?Īnything else I should be aware of with Dr. Web Cureit does it's Scanning thing, I take it that is absolutely it? No anything to delete or uninstall? It doesn't make any Registry Entries? What Protection Modes are there and what should I use? Web Cureit website it says that I'll be prompted with which Protection Mode I want. Is it my understanding that when you download it, it already comes with the latest Definitions Updates? No subsequent Update needed prior to use? Web Cureit as I've heard it is pretty good for tough Malware situations, and this one looked really bad. And depending on what SAS Portable finds and gets rid of, I'm wanting to try Dr. Then I'll have to poke around and see what other Anti-Virus Apps might still exist.Īnyway, since no access to the Net is available, I'll take SUPERAntiSpyware Portable on CD. I'm first gonna have to make sure I uninstall McAfee entirely, including the use of the McAfee Removal Tool. So, I have no idea whether there might even be 2 or 3 Anti-Viruses going on at the same time. And he did tell me he tried about 7 different Apps to try and disinfect the computer. But, I already saw the McAfee Shortcut Icon also on the Desktop. The dude claims only avast and SpySweeper are in there right now. That would be fine IF I knew it had all been done correctly. The dude apparently somewhere along the line took out the Webroot Internet Security Suite that had been there before and installed avast. I'm sure some of them are from the Fake Anti-Virus. And it is popping up Infection Alerts about as fast as you can address them. Now their computer won't even connect to the Net. They had some dude there running Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware Scans. Last week, my sister's computer apparently had a Fake Anti-Virus in it.

Web Cureit before, but I just might have to tomorrow.
