Do you mean this?

Please explain a tad more.

[WhatevaGuy]

Did you get affected by it?
If so, that sucks.

Yes, definatly that.

Antivirus Pro-otherversions-etc. is horrible malware that fakes virus scans and popups.  Doesn't allow you to acsess internet because "It maybe infected!" and it doesn't let you run virus scanners, malware scanners, or any thing else.  Not even task manager.  If you do ever get it, just follow the link that Mack posted.

 If you need any more information, I survived it twice, so ask me.

Hahahaha, I'm guessing you downloaded it, thinking it was legit.

[Osak]

Happened to me once. My sister going on sites that she isn't supposed to go on :\

[Viper]

Hahahaha, I'm guessing you downloaded it, thinking it was legit.

Heh, no.  Antivirus Pro-otheruselessversions downloads without consent of the user.  Other words meaning, you could be browsing some other website and it would download, and activate itself without you knowing.

I've had this twice. It installs itself.

Link doesn't work for me.

Explain hoa2fix just in case.

It depends on which one you get.  Antivirus Live doesn't allow you to run the internet or anything, but Antivirus Pro allows you to run internet, etc.  Live is the worse one, and takes a little while to fix.  You can either have a guest account prepared on your computer, and use that to get rid of it ( Malware doesn't affect multiple accounts.) .  Or, shut down your computer and run it in system restore.

Haha, thats why Task Manager comes in handy.

[odst john]

I think I'll just stick to McAfee. That's what I think before I download this sort of stuff.

[Viper]

Haha, thats why Task Manager comes in handy.

Quoting from my 2nd post, Antivirus Live doesn't let you open Task Manager.

[Ethan]

Haha, thats why Task Manager comes in handy.

Even if it did let you open it, which it doesn't, it doesn't show up on the process list, and if you delete it, it manages to reinstall itself.
