SYMPTOMS OF rogue antispyware INFECTION
Rogue AntiSpyware virus usually imitates the legal anti-spyware software or some essential system components. Typically virus gets inside the computer with a help of trojans, that use security vulnerabilities for that. After getting inside the system, it tries to make it look like your system is infected with the numerous parasites, so it starts ‘scanning’ and finds numerous threats.
All rogue Anti-spyware along with Vista Internet Security 2011 have the same purpose: Get your money by using scare tactics. If you will believe that that fake threats are real and pay them money, you will not get them back even if you will ask to cancel the order in your Bank. All the infections are deceptive and you dont need to purchase their Paid version. You need to remove Rogue virus itself.
Tools: USB Storage with Antimalware Bytes and if possible the most recent virus definitions for it.
Step 1: Start your computer in "safe mode with command prompt"
Step 2: Once it starts with the black screen where you can type stuff. Type "explorer.exe" press enter.
Step 3: click start, run or search, then type "msconfig"
Step 4: Click startup tab, "disable all" startup items
Step 5: restart Computer normally
Step 6: connect usb and install Anti Malware bytes (if you have the latest virus definitions then you would run that after the instal)
Step 7: Run anti malware bytes and do a quick scan.
Step 8: remove what it finds:click show results, make sure all items are checked, click remove selected
step 9: Now I recommend running a full scan since it takes long. Also I would probably go back and make sure all the registry entries and files are deleted.
Step 10: Enjoy a virus free computer.
P.S. Now you can run Regedit to view and edit your registry
