   If you was to stop this. The net would be a better place for sure. I think these last few years have shown it has been the years of rogues – Oh that and botnets.

    Hi,

    You have two options. 1) Follow the self-help guide in this forum and look for the required antivermins guide:

    I manually removed most of this little cheeky thing but oddly enough the only thing left is the “system alert” icon flashing in my system tray, which links to the antivermins website once clicked. Scans with the “spy hunter” program doesn’t pick anything else up. So it’s more of a nuisance than anything else.

    Removing it manually cannot guarantee all files are gone. Infact I doubt they all are. I strongly recommend to use the guide or seek assistance in our forum.

    I got this antivermins trojan, took some time to get rid of it. It was like wrestling with a snake. It took over my homepage and started with the scare tactics, directing me to pay for the program to remove this malicious trojan. It was tough going but managed to download spybot and a few others. They all would isolate the trojan and not remove them. Then comes the pitch for cash, about $40.00 for this service.And while the trojan is in quarantine, you get annoying pop ups to remove the trojan, ie register and pay! it’s all about reaching into your pocket.The flashing icon is a program that can be uninstalled. So the program I have to keep is windows Defender, which is ok but the real good free spyware killer is:”Spyware Terminator”, it comes with an anti virus scan also, it also has a shield to watch and intercept bad stuff when you surf. This was a wake up call. There are some sites to stay away from and watch what you click on.

    Dartster,

    Just look at the following:

    http://spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm#spyterm_note

    Although it is not listed there. I still stick to what I know and what many other experts know. The method we use gets used on many help forums like ours for a reason, it works and works well.
    Whilst using programs like Spybot are not bad. It cannot be sure to have fully removed the infection. For infections like smitfraud you need specialised tools. And methods.

    We certainly don’t recommend the method you followed. For Antivermins(er) we recommend the following method:

    http://forum.securitycadets.com/index.php?showtopic=813

    Regarding what this tool is about. Yes it is all about money. Infact some of these programs are clean. It is the codecs that cause a problem. Or other methods of theirs.

    I hope you found this usefull.

    Andy

    Thanks Andy,

    That looks a very comprehensive method for malware removal. I have scanned with several different programs and no infections found so at this time am satisfied; thanks again.
