Downloader Viruses

1. Although many of early macros viruses affected Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel and others), these viruses can strike any application with a macro language including some operating systems.

Antivirus software protect computers from viruses and other general malware. There are two types of antivirus programs: manual and real-time. Manual antivirus programs have to be executed by the user in order to scan the computer. Real-time antivirus programs are of better use and provide more security due to the fact that they continously scan programs, memory in the RAM and any other programs that the user might execute during the time that it is active without having to be executed by the user.

Antivirus programs use a specific algorithm called heuristics. When an antivirus program scans a computer, it checks the code or text in a file and then cross-matches the code with known viruses in a database. If an antivirus finds a match or a potential match, it flags that file as a virus/potential threat and notifies the user of the results.

Antivirus software only protect the user from self-replicating programs like viruses or worms and do not remove Trojans, rootkits, spyware, keyloggers, etc (although newer antivirus programs now detect almost any threat).

Get a good quality antivirus program like Norton 360, McAfee Antivirus Plus, or Comodo. Now get an anti-spyware program like Spyware Blaster or SpyBot: Search and Destroy. For further protection, get an anti-malware program like MalwareBytes.

he six main types of Trojan horse payloads are: * Remote Access * Data Destruction * Downloader * Server Trojan(Proxy, FTP , IRC, Email, HTTP/HTTPS, etc.) * Security software disabler * Denial-of-service attack (DoS) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_horse_(computing)

Limewire, but be careful of what you do download because of course limewire is illegal :)

'Happy Birthday Joshi', the virus was firstdiscovered in India in June 1990,

Yeah, LimeWire is dangerous and can give you viruses IF the file you download has a virus in it because the one that sumited the file to Limewire would have a virus in his PC and might not know it, or he/she just wants to give it to other people. And from what I heard, NO virus protection can stop the virus from coming into the computer because you downloaded the file which was the virus. I used Limewire for a long time last year and I never caught a virus, I was aware of the dangers, but I had no other choice but now I have a GOOD source in music and videos. So it's best to not use Limewire. If you want to know just leave me a message on my message board-my name is BiggMikeHarris.

Install anti-virus software and it will automatically get rid of the virus.

Viruses cannot directly affect your monitor, they can at most change image appearing on computer screen, and there are tons of viruses, so I can't tell you. Get an antivirus or a virus-proof system like Linux Mint.

1. Run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

2 Run a complete scan with free curing utility Dr.Web CureIt!

If you still have problem or want to protect your computer install any of the programs below

3. Run the anti spyware removal programs Spybot - Search & Destroy

4 Run Download SUPERAntiSpyware FREE Edition

Nope.

The opposite is true,

Washing your hair will get rid of the dandruff while not washing it will cause irritation and give you dandruff.

However if you dont wash your hair for like months then the natural oils in your hair will go to a balanced state and you wont have dandruff and your hair will go really nice.

But to achieve this takes months of uncomfortable dandruff hair.

To avoid dandruff wash it about every three days.

If you wash it too often then the shampoo will strip your hair of the natural oils so dont wash it everyday.

(GRAMMAR TROLL ALERT!!): A worm is not a virus, just to clear that misconception up. Almost every casual computer user thinks that anything that can infect your computer is a virus, well their wrong. Trojans aren't viruses, worms aren't viruses, rootkits aren't viruses.

The sole purpose of a worm is to keep replicating itself and then distribute the copies to infect other computers. Worms just keep on copying and copying themselves until your computer grinds its teeth to a halt and eventually crashes. During the time in which your computer is slowing down, a hacker who is viewing the infected computer may enact a Denial of Service Attack or download more malware onto the victim's computer. Worms also have the ability to infect computers that are all connected to the same network as of the infected computer.

try this - If the virus is in the system volume information Download AVG from Grisoft.com, it is free. AVG will not pick it up straight away though. Follow the steps in this page and run AVG complete test. AVG should have picked up your virus this time. (You have the option in AVG to run a custom scan where you can set it to scan the system volume information only).

1st: Go to Tools>Folder Options>View>unckeck this items below:

1>display the contets of system folders

2>hide extensions for known file types

NOTE ADDED: This site is listed by McAfee Site Advisor as a potential source of adware and malware.

another answer::::::::::::::::::::::::

Use a batch file (Example.bat) to change it from to a non hidden and a non read only file. It will convert it to a deletable folder and delete it. Do not delete the Autorun file because I found that the virus changed one of my documents to the autorun.

@Echo off

ATTRIB -S -A -H -R

Pause

Then if no errors come up after running the batch right click on RECYCLER folder and click delete.

Make sure the Batch is in the drive not the subdirectry.

(Example) - DriveLeter>Example.bat

Hope this helps : )

Please note that the following advice if taken will absolve me from any responsibility. I am only reporting what I did to get rid of the virus installed on my hard drive.

1. You should be able to see your root drive root drive which is c: or d: etc.

2. Ensure that you are able to see hidden files by going to Tool>Folder Option>view and checking off hidden files.

3. System Volume Information and Recycler should be visible in your root drive (c: d: or whatever drive you use)

4. Right Click on Recycler folder and go to Properties.

5. Go to the tab labeled Security, If your user name is not there then add your username that you use for XP . Give yourself all security rights as well as the SYSTEM user. Then press okay. If you cannot see the security tab and you are using XP professional then go to Tool>Folder Option>View uncheck box "Use simple File sharing" then select Apply.

6. Right Click on System volume information folder and go to Properties. Repeat step 5.

7. Go to the garbage icon on the desktop and right click. Choose properties then check the box " Do not move files to the recycle bin. Remove files immediately when deleted." Press Apply.

8. Go back to the root drive and delete Recycler folder.

9. Go to the System Information folder and delete the last folder. These folders are where Xp has taken a snapshot of your system in order to restore it. The virus is hiding here in the event that you restore it is also restored.

10. You should now open the registry editor and remove the virus from here so that when you restart the virus is not recreated.

11. Open the registry editor. Start >Run> then type regedit in the box and select OK The registry will now open.

12. Hit Ctrl+F Type Recycler in the search box . Delete the entry when found. press F3 to find the next occurrance of Recycler and delete.

13. Close regedit.

14. Go to all installed harddrives and so steps 2- steps 6, steps 8 and steps 9.

15. Run your virus software. You should be able to update any virus software that was previously unupdatable.

16. Reboot your computer

17. Verify that that the reycler folder is deleted from you root drive.

18. Then you can uncheck the box in the garbage that you checked in step 7. To keep all you deleted files in case you need to restore a file that was accidentally deleted.

My findings: This virus is recreated using the methods of the garbage bin. Everytime you delete a file it recreates itself because it looks in the garbage and restores or copies the virus information inside. If the virus is not able to be stored inside and is immediately removed when you check the box in step 7. Then it cannot recreate itself and all of its power is lost. So erasing it from the registry and drive ensures that it cannot return.

-----------------------

I frequently get this headache and finally heartache sooo annoying it had brought too much trouble for me. After installing various kinds of software, running them and so on, I found some of them useful and some of them not at all effective.

Even if we make changes in folder options to view all the files and change various settings, searching through regedit etc or following by some software, in most conditions a typical average user lands in confusion and finally some disaster happens to his system.

I found this simple system to effectively remove Recycler virus - Blam to Recycler virus.

1. Go to Desktop, right click on Recycle bin and select properties.

2. Check (select or put a tick mark) on the square box (Do not move files to the recycle bin. Remove files immediately when deleted)

3. Get File zilla FTP which is free and install. (you dont need to change any file settings)

4. without entering any sort of web address anywhere click the directories in the Local site box.

5. Then each directory will display all the folders below this box with file name, file size, file type and last modified.

6. Now check if RECYCLER folder is there. Then simply delete it.

7. Your job is done.

8. Repeat in all the folders by searching if it is sub folders too.

9. Repeat for each directory ( C D E F ...)

After your job is done again go to desktop, right click on recycle bin and then deselect on the square box.

how do I delete the install shield virus

Sir Walter Raleigh

Yes. However the AIDS computer virus is nothing like the Human AIDS virus. Your computer can not get the Human AIDS virus.

This computer virus was written in 1990, and affected .com files running on the DOS system.

The people who made computer virus are unkown.

No Sims 3 does not give you Viruses on your computers or labtops.

Mcafee site adviser has several complaints about that site.
