Mizuno i go into that website, and guess what it has as a snapshot.

Looks a bit fishy to me, its the exact same.

Cash 67 · 02-12-2008, 10:18 PM

Yeah I know, should have said reboot in safe mode and go straight to that page.

He has to download the remover from that page, I just hope it's not taken control of his task manager yet.

When anyone else clicks on mizuno's link do they get the same page?

That's the trojan taking control of your browser. It might be too late now, try rebooting in safe mode then go to that page.

I had this twice in the past when I wasn't protected properly, and in both cases it was too late and I had to do fresh installation of windows. It's a cunt.

**rendog** · 02-12-2008, 10:23 PM

how do i reboot in safe mode?

Dazza · 02-12-2008, 10:24 PM

Seems more like an advertisement than a virus than me

Have you got an antivirus system installed? Get NOD32

Scrap that, I thought it was just a random pop-up you got from a site

EDIT:

Okay for safe mode I think when the computer is starting up continually press F8

(get someone to clarify first)

Only use system restore as a last resort
have you still got the windows installation disk handy though?

Restart your machine and just after the post diagnostics keep tapping the f8 key, then you'll see the menu and start in safe mode.

When you get in, run an anti-virus, it might work/might not. If not, go to that page and try to download the remover.

Can somebody download that remover tool and upload it to give him a direct link?

Dazza · 02-12-2008, 10:32 PM

Wait that snapshot is on that page, so I think we've misunderstood him

Rendog is it only that picture you see or can you see the chunk of text too?

" Antivirus 2009 is a new rogue anti-spyware program. It is also a..."

If you can see everything else scroll down and click the green download button

Good point, he's gone and posted the pic of that snapshot. The removal tool is right below it.
