I have never heard or seen this virus before. But I just got it and it's a pain in the butt.
Apparently it makes it so that you can't open ANY programs. Luckily I was able to open AVG to run a scan with it since I couldn't open up Malware bytes.
I'm currently running SUPERAntiSpyware to get rid of this crap. I don't know how I got it either.
In before, "Get a mac."
Get Linux
Well, the warning doesn't help anyone without telling how one get it or the name of it :P
Because knowing the name will somehow inoculate you?Quote:

By knowing the name you can look it up and trace the origin or infected websites....Quote:

It had a name, but I can't remember it now.
And the only websites I've been to today before I had the virus was dreamviews.
It could of been dormantQuote:

Norton? It is the worst piece of *insert profanity*. I know from experience and compared to other available choices Norton is not the wisest. I am sure the computer-technical minds on here will agree.Quote:

Any other Anti viruses worthy of mentioning?
I need one since I'm switching back over to Windows.
Avast is fine, it is probably one of the best free versions out there, I use it myself.
I have researched the subject and come to the conclusion that Avast! would be the best choice considering it has to be free.
What about Mcafee?
It will be free after the rebate.
I used it before and it worked pretty well, but that was some time ago.
Considering it is the pay-ware product I would rather choose that instead of the free Avast!.Quote:
