Downloader Viruses

No

***********

To Whomever Said "No,"

My answer is "Yes."

I downloaded the game three times from three different sources. The first two (the Play ROHAN home page--two different USA mirrors) scanned with a virus so I ran them sandboxed. Two different antivirus programs (Avast AV and Clam AV) flagged Compression Bombs and Win32 trojans respectively when I tried to start the game up.

The third downloaded (a torrent file) and installed fine. However, upon loading the title screen, froze my computer. I had to Ctrl-Alt-Del the program to get unfrozen. Then my Clam AV found yet another virus.

Then when I went to uninstall, I got an error that prevented full uninstallation. Somehow the EXE file insinuates itself into memory as a process/service even after you uninstall it so that you can't delete the original installation file without first Ending the Process from Task Manager.

I wanted to play this game but I'm not willing to try another questionable download.

Where can you download it without the virus/trojan?

You shall not send people viruses. It is bad. You can get aressted.

It is called a Trojan horse. The name was gotten from somewhere out of mythology. This is how it goes, I think. Two nations were at war. One built a hollow wooden horse and hid soldiers in it. They gave it to the other nation as a 'gift'. When they were inside, the soldiers got out and killed the king and won the war.

NO

Who said the Trojans where bad? That's subjective. Some would say the Greeks where bad.

They aren't...

They make your computer slow.( because you need alot of updates, for Anti-virusses, windows updates, etc.)

I think it doesn't give you a virus, but pop-ups a lot however.

i don't really know but i think so

No zamzar doesnt give you virus, its clean

If you want to check there is a site called malwarebytes. their quick scan is free and safe. many i now use it for an occasional check.

Scan your computer with antivirus software , your computer may be affected by a computer virus.

DON'T download. You can't uninstall using add/remove. It's an open gateway to your computer from the internet.

Malwarebytes will remove it.

http://www.malwarebytes.org/

But you have to execute Malwarebytes before the Microsoft Police Pro starts up when Windows opens, the free version will clean it. If Microsoft Police Pro starts before you get Malwarebytes running, you won't be able to start it. I also could not boot into Safe Mode, Microsoft Police would cause the Blue Screen of Death to come up. So as after I entered my Username and Password, I quickly started Malwarebytes and was able to get it running, it cleaned it off, but it leaves some residue, I had to run it twice before it cleaned everything off.

Viruses commonly have the following affects on computers: destruction/theft of data, and malicious access to the computer resources. Data is stolen sometimes for identity theft and sometimes for business reasons such as stealing customer information for competition. Other times the data is destroyed either for malicious reasons, or for interruption of business processes. Optionally the virus is installed for use as a 'door' to the computer's resources such as using the computer for spamming.

Try booting into Safe Mode by tapping the F8 key when the computer boots, and go into Safe Mode. You might be able to run McAfee there.

You can download a copy of Ultimate Boot CD4Windows and boot the CD. The latest versions have anti-virus and anti-malware tools.

I found Fraud.UltraAntivir2009 on my computer when I did a scan using Spybot S&D.

I found it too when scanned with Spybot. I removed it and had several problems: printer wouldn't connect etc.

No real answers to the question - what is Fraud.UltraAntivir2009

This is what I found:

Fraud.UltraAntivir2009 - is a downloader

The name "Fraud" might be too severe

It is simply a file

It is actually necessary for some programs to Download information you request:

when dialing - downloads contact list OR call list etc.

majicJack relies on it.

Before you destroy this file - make sure something youuse is not depending on it.

If you destroyed it - remember that Spybot can revers it.

This is Malware, stuff that hides well, deeply rooting itself in your system. Anti-virus scanners and the Restore Point Utility are not good things to use against such invasion for this reason alone.

Download the programs I listed from another computer (Internet Café, Public Library or friend's computer) onto a USB stick as this malware may block you from downloading the protection. If you still cannot use MBAM, rename it Alteregobytes to confuse the Malware (but be sure to keep the .exe extension on it) and use it as an alternative for solution A.

Trying MBAM alone is not enough, you need a COMPLETE solution.

Here is one (use programs in the order stated): A) Download MBAM (MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware): http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Ant… - Install the application and make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish ( If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version ).

Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan ( The scan may take some time,so please be patient ). When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.

Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected ( When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart - The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM ).

B) Try the tricks and free programs I use: 1) Flush every single possible accumulated junk in ALL browsers. As you explore the web, browsers stores information about your browsing. You should delete that information from time to time.

Method One (now):

In Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then Delete Browsing History and in the box, click the Delete all button (bottom left) and Yes.

In Firefox, go to tools, clear private data, make sure all boxes are checked and then click on the clear private data now button.

Method Two (in the future - about every two weeks for normal use of the internet - every week for heavy use):

In Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then click Delete Browsing History and in the box that opens, do the following steps (in order)

a) click the button near Temporary Internet Files, click Yes and wait for the box that opens to close.

b) click the button near History, click Yes and wait for the box that opens to close.

Finally, click the close button (bottom right) to finish.

In Firefox, Go to tools, clear private data and uncheck all except Browsing History, Cache and Authenticated Sessions boxes and then click on the clear private data now button.

Note: You should close your browser when you're done to clear cookies that are still in memory. For older versions of the programs or for other browsers, check help files for guidance on doing the cleanup.

2) Turn off the restore point utility ( here is a guide for XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310405 and an article for Vista: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows… )

3) Install this free cleaner: http://www.glaryutilities.com/gu.html to remove junk and remnants files (there are always some) and use it in "Windows safe mode" (for a better cleanup).

4) put order in your drive with a "Disk defragmenter".

5) Turn restore point utility back on. ( see part 3 )

6) After this, if you don't have an anti-virus scanner, use Avira: http://www.download.com/Avira-AntiVir-Pe… along with an Email scanner ( http://www.spamdel.com/ OR http://www.glenn.delahoy.com/software/fi… ) and if you have a GOOD one, make sure your virus database is updated.

( A word of caution, be sure to read all help files completely so that you can apply fixes right the first time ! )

With this, you are on your way to being well protected BUT never relax your guard !
