Safari virus warning scams are booming across the iPhone ecosystem.

It took me a month of battling that sorry virus to kill it out of my entire system. Tool and finish it off for it was still lurking in my system. After wiping my computer finally I was able to download the microsoft anti-malware Was unable to get system restore to work. It had disabled javascript and removed my start button even and Go round I couldn't even download that for I was locked out.

The only thing that killed that picking sorry bisket eater was that microsoft antimalware tool.

It also opened a second portalĪnd changed the registry. Itself.It had embed invisable code when it arrived so don't know if that had anything to do with it. I even wiped my computer and it found a way within a week to re-activate I always download from the site both adobe and microsoft and that darn virus got me too! So it was not their fault This goes for all software: always download software updates only from the original manufacturer's site! The main problem with these kind of infections is that people do not pay enoughĪttention on what they are downloading or installing.Īlways download Flash Player updates only from the original Adobe or Macromedia site!Īlways download Windows updates only from the original Microsoft site! I'll also advise AVG and System Mechanic (my two any malware/antivirus installed software) people about this danger.

I scanned my whole computer to find any of those names. You may also be able to get rid of the program through a system restore to an earlier point. Neither of my antivirus programs nor firewall picked it up! Adobe has flashplayer version 10 and needs to know that this is too much of a look-alike name.

Later reading about this virus, it is particularly scarry. I ran that program and thats when all the trouble started. I had visited a site that told me that I needed to update my adobe flash player with 'adobeflashplayer10.0.32.22'. I learned that it is a type of trojan and uses a program called ccmain.exe (beware). The only way to get rid of it finally was to shut the computer down and then go back in through safe mode, since nothing else was accessable on the computer while its window was open. I looked liked a legitimate Antivirus program called Control Center and was telling me that all kinds of faults were on my computer, including viruses. I must have passed by some site where a virus jumped over to my XP operating system.
