Computer Virus Fail – Security Tool

July 2, 2011

A computer virus attempted to collect my Credit Card information by posing as a Virus Protection software that was installed via a PDF file from a site I was browsing. Luckily, I wasn’t about to be outsmarted by a novice hacker and his pesky toys. Need less to say, the attack failed and my computer is back to normal. ********************************* ********************************* IMPORTANT NOTE: It’s come to my attention that this software will replicate itself after you restart your computer, even if you delete it prior to that. After the restart, the number of the file name will change, but you will know which file it is because it’s all numbers. To get rid of the Security Tool, follow the instructions below. 1. Restart computer 2. Repeatedly press the F8 key during reboot. 3. Scroll up w/ the Up Arrow to “Safe Mode” and click Enter. 4. Select your windows type (ie Windows XP Home Edition) click Enter. 5. Sign into the account that is infected. 6. Click Start, select All Programs, select Accessories, select System Tools, click System Restore. 7. Click Next, and choose a system restore point earlier than the date your computer was infected. 8. Run system restore. You may need to reboot the computer. ********************************* *********************************
