Beware of this bogus scamming software which is malware!!

This program is becoming more prevelant and usually arrives via
downloaded software or other types of files.

It bypasses your firewall and security programs :cry: and disables the
vast majority of them!

You get popups inviting you to pay for and download this fabulous
software! There is no such program!! DO NOT BUY IT!

The first thing to do is (if infected) is to remove the program link in
Start/Programs. Right click on System Security and DELETE. Doing that will let you use your programs without the
annoying popups which DO stop you using certain applications.Then check this site out ;

http://www.spywarevoid.com/remove-syste ... moval.html

This site gives information on how to remove the files. If you use an
automated file removal system be careful as they dont always remove everything. Manual removal is better but takes longer.

This is a real pain :cry:

Hi Nick

I was searching for british armoured cars, and found several, the Ferret
being one which I posted. No problem. It was when I searched for the
Humber when I clicked on this site which looked genuine then BAM!!!

Fortunately I used to build pooters and test beta software for some
companies and came accross many of this type of programs :cry:

The best way of removing them (without paying for removal tools) is to
gather all the known info on trojans and print the offending files out and
reboot in safe mode (f8} Whilst in this mode the malware will not function
and you can search windows and the registry and delete the schwine!!!

A right royal pain in the rear end :!:
