AntiSpywareXP 2009

Yes, however i was simply stating by INSTALLING THE TROJAN IN THE FIRST PLACE was an idiotic move on your part, and you should have researched more before installing a trojan onto your computer, and instead took the easier steps to remove it before it infected your system more.

Most the tutorials show that the only way to get rid of it is to install it, it has no effect on your computer really apart from the fact it bugs you to sucidal annoyence.

I had it, took ages to look in command thing and look for the running process.

I still have it's remains aswell.

Did you install the software or did you just try and remove it while it was just a the popup stage in the corner?

Yes but I've all ready solved the problem at hand by fixing it the way the tutorials said. The question of this thread was who else has suffered from it, I did not ask for a resolution since I have all ready got rid of it. I am simply saying what I have done.

If you were smart enough not to download viruses/rogues in the first place there wouldn't be a problem at all. Oh, you like how I can bold text too

The -rep you gave me is ilrelevant due to the fact he isn't trying to help me since I have all ready got rid of it.

The -reputation I gave you is certainly valid, seeing as I also gave it to you for being rude. By the way, irrelevant has two "r"s.

It's like trying to help some climb up a wall when they are all ready at the top of it.

Gee, great analogy. Since so were so polite to me, I've taken the liberty of properly responding to this thread.

But Spyware isn't a virus and for some odd reason it is classed as Spyware when it is actually a scam. It says that your computer is full of Spyware and the only way to get rid of it is by buying the software. Read up on this bit of Spyware it's self and you'll know what I am talking about.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Firstly, these are called rogues. Secondly not every rogue alerts you of being infested with spyware. Thirdly, why are you capitalizing spyware every time you say it?!

I've had this Spyware before TWICE and I think I know how to get rid of it.

Gee, you're not a smart -alec, what was I thinking. Scott certainly knows more than you do.

This is refering to it of been INSTALLED and long with whole list of files. If you knew what you were talking about you'd realise that the files are located in PROGRAM FILES which is where INSTALLED applications are generally kept. When the software is at it's first stage it is just a POP UP in the corner of the screen and has not been placed in PROGRAM FILES just System32.

If YOU knew what YOU were talking about, then it would be CLEARLY OBVIOUS that there's more than one way of removing this (yes, I can abuse the shift key too!). Let me give you a hint, for future reference, as so you wont start arguments with other people where you're wrong: Google.co.uk.

I did that numb nuts but it didn't work, it becomes to inter locked with the main files in there and cannot be removed without damage and Spyware programs don't know how to get rid of it. Once the software is installed it removes the popups so then all you need to do is use a Spyware remover to get rid of it.

Hey numb nuts!!11 You've read a tutorial and now that makes you an expert on the subject? Pffft...hardly:rolleyes:..

I might of as well installed Windows again doing that! It's not quite as simple as that, if the file is needed for bootup say and only for that as soon as I restart my computer it will just crash or not load up. No actual method has been discovered to remove it without installing it first anyway.

Oh bravo, you've come to an incorrect conclusion:eusa_clap. Firstly, show me evidence that you have to install it to remove it? Secondly there's a difference between replacing several files in system32, and reinstalling Windows. Even if these files (and I highly doubt it), instantly upon deletion render a fatal error, have you ever heard of a live disk?

The best way to do it is to simply install it and use a Spyware remover to get rid of it. End of story.

Once again, thinking you're the expert on the suybject. *Surprised face here*

Even to use that would make no different, you'd have to get rid of it the same way no matter what really, unless you wanted to uninstall Windows which would be stupid.

Prove it. you keep saying install first, but I see no prove. Moreover, I just Google'd up on combofix, and saw no instruction to install it prior to attempting to remove it.

Your just making a simple resolutions complex here. To remove it is to install then use Spyware removers to get rid of it. It's just the obvious and clear way possible.

No, that's you. If you'd listen to what Scott's saying, he makes perfect sense.

No....... I followed the way in which the tutorials had all ready said was safe..... and also if you did your research you'd actually know that is a a scam software but falls under the Spyware.

you're wrong again. There's more than one removal tutorial...and there you go again...unnecessarily capitalizing spyware.

I think I am the one proving you wrong. You don't even know what you are talking about, you haven't even had it yourself. All your doing is looking at words on a page.

Firstly, you don't know what you're talking about. Secondly you are the one who is going by the words on a page, and thirdly, you're telling Scott, that because he was not careless and contracted a rogue, that he doesn't know what he's doing?

Most the tutorials show that the only way to get rid of it is to install it, it has no effect on your computer really apart from the fact it bugs you to sucidal annoyence.

*suicidal
*annoyance
at least you try:rolleyes:..

I don't think I am that bothered about my grammar and so in just a general chat.

Most the points you just said don't even matter currently or just irrelevant.

If you were smart enough not to download viruses/rogues in the first place there wouldn't be a problem at all. Oh, you like how I can bold text too

The virus is hidden within a video codec which anyone could download.

The -reputation I gave you is certainly valid, seeing as I also gave it to you for being rude. By the way, irrelevant has two "r"s.

Yes but it didn't involve you.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Firstly, these are called rogues. Secondly not every rogue alerts you of being infested with spyware. Thirdly, why are you capitalizing spyware every time you say it?!

I don't really care about grammar on here as by the fact it's hardly something that is going to go down in history

If YOU knew what YOU were talking about, then it would be CLEARLY OBVIOUS that there's more than one way of removing this (yes, I can abuse the shift key too!). Let me give you a hint, for future reference, as so you wont start arguments with other people where you're wrong: Google.co.uk.

Wasn't abusing the shift key. Abusing this shift key Is Doing This, I was simply emphasizing my point.

Once again, thinking you're the expert on the suybject. *Surprised face here*

I know I'm not an expert upon the subject but nor is anyone else on this forum probably.

Prove it. you keep saying install first, but I see no prove. Moreover, I just Google'd up on combofix, and saw no instruction to install it prior to attempting to remove it.

I haven't refered to what Combofix does, I've been talking about Windows Defender, Ad-ware and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.

you're wrong again. There's more than one removal tutorial...and there you go again...unnecessarily capitalizing spyware.

I know that is why I said tutorials.

Firstly, you don't know what you're talking about. Secondly you are the one who is going by the words on a page, and thirdly, you're telling Scott, that because he was not careless and contracted a rogue, that he doesn't know what he's doing?

I have had it twice and also it is because it is hidden within many different video codecs.

*suicidal
*annoyance
at least you try..

Damn you got me (saracastic) I'm a bad speller, welcome to life.

I am sorry if I did portray myself as rude towards Sc0tteh but I had just been working for 12 hours and I was just getting quite frustrated late at night.

I don't think I am that bothered about my grammar and so in just a general chat.

Seeing as you're trying to sound smart, I just thought pointing out your atrocious spelling would help.

Most the points you just said don't even matter currently or just irrelevant.

Glad to see you can now spell irrelevant. Seeing as you've failed to give me satisfactory answers you're in no position to say my questions don't matter.

The virus is hidden within a video codec which anyone could download.

That depends. What was it called, where did you get it?

Yes but it didn't involve you.

Irrelevant.

I don't really care about grammar on here as by the fact it's hardly something that is going to go down in history

Since you feel the need to repeat yourself: Seeing as you're trying to sound smart, I just thought pointing out your atrocious spelling would help.

Wasn't abusing the shift key. Abusing this shift key Is Doing This, I was simply emphasizing my point.

In an abusive manner, that makes your text look idiotic.

I know I'm not an expert upon the subject but nor is anyone else on this forum probably.

You clearly think you know more than everyone else.

I haven't refered to what Combofix does, I've been talking about Windows Defender, Ad-ware and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.

You also mentioned Combofix, read your own posts :eusa_wall.

I know that is why I said tutorials.

Again, you fail to provide me with a satisfactory responce. Now you're saying every last tutorial on the internet on how to remove this rogue states that you must install it :eusa_wall:eusa_wall.

I have had it twice and also it is because it is hidden within many different video codecs.

If you've had it twice then your downloading source is untrustworthy. If you've used multiple sources then I suggest you learn to determine a safe website to download from, or avoid downloading completely because you cannot be trusted with your own computer.

Damn you got me (saracastic) I'm a bad speller, welcome to life.

Damn, I did catch you....catch you failing at your "I know everything" act.

I am sorry if I did portray myself as rude towards Sc0tteh but I had just been working for 12 hours and I was just getting quite frustrated late at night.

You're still being rude now.

[Christian]

This is just getting silly now. I just not going to reply to this anymore, it's getting to a ridiculous and bizarre stage now
