What is the hardest virus to get rid of?

There isn't neccesarily a Hardest Virus because new ones are created and sent CONSTANTLY, and its not to hard to get them. Here are the most tricky viruses to get rid of.

1. Malicious viruses, these viruses can do alot to harm your computer, such as, fill it with files you don't want and CANT get rid of, erase all your harddrive data, or not allow you to open up ANY document or system on your computer.

2. Spyware, spyware is a pretty easy to get rid of, but annoying viruses, like BOOMERS in L4D, lol. These viruses can view and keep track of what you do on the internet, find out your passwords, and add new files and images to things, they are pretty easy to get rid of and fix if you have a secure Anti-Virus program.

3. Trojan viruses, these viruses are SUPER annoying, and nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get rid of unless you really know your stuff. They can disable key commands so you cant type the letters, "K", "J", "Z", etc. They can block specific bookmarked pages on your web browser, or ALL of your web browsers, (Usually only the one you have manually selected.). They can edit certain layouts and formats with silly images and vulgar humor. These viruses, have the BEST sense of humor, but were not laughing.

So some reccommended computer Anti-Virus programs would probably be:

Panda Anti-Virus (2008 - 2010)

or Norton Internet Protecter.

So good luck out there! Hope this helped!

Does digital insanity keygen have viruses or malware?

"no. what your getting is what is called a "false-positive." the reason that happens is due to the fact that some keygens are coded similar to a trojan."

This is what I originally thought, once I used it everything was fine and my AV software and anti-malware were not showing any issue's until I used Hitman Pro 3.5 which discovered a Rootkit created from this keygen. Hitman Pro uses a scan cloud system which means it will compare your files against different AV systems it is linked too. The Rootkit will give its creator full admin privileges to your system. I removed all associated files immediately.

Is pkr a virus?

The abbreviation "pkr" and other variations on it like "pk" are sometimes used as short for "packer", especially by antivirus software and companies. Packers are programs that compress programs to be smaller, basically speaking, and also can make them more difficult to detect. Few legitimate programs are packed, so some antivirus programs (like Sophos Anti-Virus) include a special detection for programs that have been packed or encrypted (Sophos detects them as Mal/EncPk). While this doesn't necessarily mean the program is a threat, you shouldn't open it unless you know what it is and trust its source.
