WARNING YOUR PM BOX MAY HAVE GOTTEN SPAMMED!!!!!!

[Diggs59]

So after my next scan should I open the results and go through it to find this rogue Trojan? And have it quarantined and removed?

I am just asking this question for others since I haven't got a pm like that. And of course in case it does happen to me.

I don't think you're Anti-VIrus or Mal-Ware/Adware/Spyware will detect it but if it does then yeah I'd quarantine and delete the files. However, if it doesn't locate them then just do a system restore from an earlier date and you should be good to go. You'll know when you get it though because you get a popup that looks like it's running a scan and you'll get a "fake" windows security center popup that shows your firewall/antivirus as being turned off.


There is a way to Manually remove the bad files in your registry....However, I'm not smart enough to figure that out.

I did'nt get that PM, but somehow I got that virus. Its kinda nasty, but nothing a system restore point wont take careof. Kinda weid that AVG did'nt pic it up.

Yep, don't have to download any other kind of removers to get rid of it. Preddy speaks the truth. I have Avast and it didn't pick it up either. I have Malwarbytes and Super Anti-Spyware as well and neither of them picked it up after running scans......Simple restore point is all that's needed though.

just what is this thing doing to the pcs ?

It's a rogue Trojan  that sets up "fake" security center on your P.C. and runs "fake" scans that say you're infected. It then asks you to update your p.c. and that's where it becomes a potentail bad infection that's capable of stealing passwords, credit card info etc etc.

oh yeah that great f'n thing i had the same one hit me twice it just helped itself to my pc and it looked like a windows anti-vrius program but it wasnt i ended up getting my pc reformatted both times cause of this thing the guy that did the work said had to run 5 other programs at the same time to get rid of it and then he could wipe the pc clean after getting the files i needed saved and then start from square one again

Yes, I got an email from YFZSource.com telling me that my computer had a virus and I needed to click a link, I DID NOT click the link, but when I opened the email my computer sounded like it was gonna take off! I started running my spybot and it found 117 infections, and I got them taken care of so if you see the email, just delete it DO NOT open it.
