Oh crap, seems my PC got infected

Posted by celedhring May 26 '10, 22:42

One of those malware that pretend to be an antivirus. Problem is that Microsoft Security doesn't seem to catch it, and it's blocking my access to the control panel. What do I do?

Summary: Find the process that the malware is, kill it, and then find out how to remove it - oblique May 26, 22:46 5

- (in some versions of windows, you can right click the task bar to start the task manager, which will let you view processes) -- nm - Beryllium May 26, 22:47 2
  - The issue is that most malware blocks most programs from running by declaring them "infected" - oblique May 26, 22:48 1
    - Yes, that's what's happening to me. Task manager is blocked, so is control panel. Gonna try running Safe Mode. -- nm - celedhring May 26, 23:01
