New Virus - antispywarebox.com
Hi folks. I just got infected by this. At first I noticed alerts popping up at the
bottom right of my desktop like "your computer has a virus" or "click here to
remove virus" etc. It looks different from MSN alerts (larger print and size).
Then the IE browser defaults to "about:blank" but the page says that I must
click here to remove the spyware. If you got this, you've already been
infected, but DON'T click the link. It'll only make it worse. Anyway, it leads
to a site called "antispywarebox.com" that seemingly sells antispyware products. Don't buy it.
I'm not sure what kind of virus it is. But it opens your computer up to allow
other trojans, keyloggers, and spyware to get in.
I've tried all kinds of Antivirus software, like Symantec, Adaware, etc. I even
tried System Restore to an earlier date but nothing worked.
It's been a real pain trying to get this out of my comp system, but with help
from lavasoft forum (makers of Adaware SE) I manage to get rid of it.
I hope none of you get this. But if you do, here is the link to read.
It was really helpful for me.
(THANK YOU CALAMITY JANE!)
