Nasty things, hiding away!

Postby Fozzer » Sun Sep 23, 2012 4:28 am

Hello Chums...
I am just wondering if anyone else has got this thoroughly nasty piece of software nesting inside their computer....
"bProtect"...or "bProtector".

It can be spotted, using Ctrl+Alt+Delete to bring up the Task Manager.
It will probably contain two entries.
Quote:
bProtector is DEFINITELY a virus.

..... ;D....Goodness knows!

The annoying thing is, that none of the Anti-Virus, Mailware, Spyware, etc, programs detect it, and it is not listed in any of their search engines!
In every Computer location that I delete it, it re-appears somewhere else, instantly!

Paul...Its WAR I tell you.....ITS WAR!!... >:(...!

Hello,
This is indeed a serious problem.
What I would do is create a recovery point (if point is correct English) on your computer on a date  BEFORE you attracted the virus.
After renewed startup things should be back to normal again.
If unsuccesful: go see your local computershop and let them deal with the bugger the professional way.
Godspeed!!

That didn't find anything suspicious at all....!
(Un-installed it now).
In fact, I haven't found anything that finds, and destroys, the offending program!
