my computer immediately crashed after install. i had to replace hard drive & currently disputing charges on my card.

This is a horrible thing for someone to do. It even blocks my tack manager saying it has been disabled. Ido not understand why these people are not being prosecuted. I am going to start legal action if mypc id damaged.

6. by Guest. 2006-10-22 09:10:42
thanks alot. i used these instructions and killbox to get rid of bravesentry. took me a few times but its gone now

If you are running on windows, which I presume you are, create a new user with administration capabilities and logout of main account. Log into new account and perform system restore from there. worked for me perfectly. Full administration capabilities restored. Hope this helps.

i deleted all the items and directoys and same prob..did not fix my problem

9. by Guest. 2006-09-18 03:09:53
I cant even kill processes anymore because it hijacked my task manager and says the administrator disabled it, I'm the administrator and I did not disable it. AHHHHHH!

10. by Guest. 2006-08-30 16:08:37
I still can not get rid of this brave sentry. My brother is a computer wiz, and he can't even totally keep it from coming back. It seems to have totally messed up my memory on my computer. It comes back almost everyday. I run ad aware, and it says it is removed, but a day or two later it is back. How do I get it to stop coming back at all.

11. by Guest. 2006-08-29 12:08:21
once i got rid of said evil virus, my task manager was still disabled and my background still messed up. eventually, it seems my task manager fixed itself. sadly there are still many things messed up still. For instance, i cant watch dvd's anymore, my windows media player will open but i cant see or use it, my background is still messed up, and i cant upload pics to the nternet

12. by Guest. 2006-08-26 10:08:17
Mine won't even download because that bravesentry thing says i have too many things running and to try again later. It's retarded!!

13. by Guest. 2006-08-20 17:08:12

14. by Guest. 2006-08-13 16:08:17

i am just totally in despair and no matter what i do i can not get rid of this crap. any advise would be great.

Question: I used the System Restore under Windows XP Home to restore to a checkpoint prior to the Brave Sentry infection, and all appears well. What are the chances of that being sufficient?

17. by Guest. 2006-07-28 18:07:55
I saw the Brave Sentry on my computer and it told me I had problems. It took my backround pic away and stopped me from using other functions. Since I had just had my computer repaired I assumed it was put on here by the people who fixed it and that the backround pic not being displayed and things not working was just an annoying side affect of the problem. Though, I started noticing things were stuffing up bad and I suspected Brave Sentry. I just found out that Brave Sentry is a scam now by finding this site.
I installed the removal program.
Thanks for this site,
