REPORT ABUSIVE MESSAGE
Subject Trojan calling itself Vista Antivirus 2012 defence.
Poster Handle Whalin Rift
Post Content
In the past few days I have noticed some of the websites we use to get the real news are under attack by the adspace they sell.

This is the same fake antivirus program with no uninstall we have seen before but its easy to defeat if you know what to do before hand. Its calling itself "Vista Antivirus 2012" there is no such thing.

First, be ready to kill your pc instantly if you notice your antivirus program detects a trojan or if Adobe reader launches for no reason.

When that happens I simply pull the power and crash the computer. Restart in safe mode. "Run as Administrator" System Recovery and choose your restore point. Wait for the system recovery screen sometimes it takes a few to open. Let recovery do its thing and when it reboots you will be clean.

Remember to choose Run as Administrator or it launches the fake antivirus.

Make sure you have Malwarebytes installed and update it frequently so if you are truely hozed and lose internet you can still run that.

You are welcome in advance, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
