Got an error message that said “System error. hard disk failure detected”? System error hard disk failure detected virus removal is not easy. It opens a whole bunch of prompts then It prompts you to scan your Hard drive?Closed all the prompt made it come back again and again? If so? your computer is definitely being infected by the fake “System Error Hard disk failure detected” virus. Please read the below post to have this issue solved completely.
“System error. hard disk failure detected” virus is a dangerous rogue program which is quite similar to Smart HDD virus or Data Recovery virus with the same purpose that pretends to be a legal security software trying to rob your money. Once it catches your computer there will pop up a dialog box that listed “System Error. Hard Disk Failure detected. It’s highly recommended to run a complete hard drive scan to prevent loss of personal files.” The two buttons in the box were “scan and repair” or “cancel and restart”. Once you click any of them, you computer will be locked immediately by this rogue and offer you a link to send money to the intended hackers so that you can get you computer unlocked. Besides the dialog box, there could be a lot of other cascading boxes all layered on top of each other that indicating threats on your computer needs to be removed. In this case, please do not press any buttons that pop up otherwise your computer will be locked as well. In the taskbar, the pop up says “Critical Error. Drive sector not found error.” Sometimes all the desktop folders disappeared and soon the computer shut itself off, when you restarted it then you got all the error messages again. Some infected users also noticed this rogue would delete all of the files in any folders that were open. Meanwhile, Running a anti-virus such as Norton, Kaspersky, McAfee or MalwareBytes means nothing at all because the malware would stop them from running. Thus, Manual removal is required to get rid of this rogue malware completely, and the below removal guide will give good instructions on how to have it done. Read the rest of this post »

Have just been attacked by the fake System Progressive Protection virus and am trying to remove it using the online web page. How did i get the System Progressive Protection Virus as i didn’t open any porn sites? I have managed to reload in safe mode with networking but cannot find the virus details. Can you advise please?
Is System Progressive Protection a Scam or Legitimate?
System Progressive Protection is the latest malicious program we have detected in YooSecurity Labs as rogue anti-spyware. It indicates your computer is at high risk by showing you there are 38 infections or WARNING!38 infections found. System Progressive Protection is a rogue Windows fake-antivirus program and a new variant member of Rogue.WinWebSec family. It is acting like most of other fake-AV programs like the prevalent spreading Live Security Platinum or Fake Internet Security 2013 by hijacking your computer via fake scanning and alerts. It is very disturbing to see the fake-AV industry still alive even though The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is continuously taking heavy actions against the international scareware network in multiple countries and the Russian authority shut down the most infamous fake-AV gang founded by Pavel Vrublevsky. System Progressive Protection leverages various social engineering techniques to scare the infected users to believe the PC has been infected. After it has stealthily installed and hidden its tracks to the major security software, it continuously pops up fake scanning reports, useless security alerts and other scary techniques. It hijacks your computer until you will pay the license of SystemProgressiveProtection. It is being spread via malicious websites, P2P networks and downloadable files. On our tested machines in YooSecurity Labs, most of the major anti-virus and anti-malware programs do NOT detect this scareware and System Progressive Protection does not allow users to attempt any other normal operations. You can follow the instructions below to go around the tactics employed by this scamware. Read the rest of this post »

Fake Win 8 Security System Virus Scam warning on my computer and telling that there are lots of threat, on the infected one it goes full screen and you cant do anything. What happens when the Win8 Security System Virus Scam hijacks your computer? I cant find the Win8 Security System virus files on my computer?:(
What is the Win 8 Security System thing popped on my screen?
Win 8 Security System is the latest variants of The ZeroAccess rootkit malware. The ZeroAccess rootkit usually takes control of the infected PCs and intelligently assemble them into a botnet. The ZeroAccess has been sophisticatedly engineered to a complex level as kernel-mode rootkit, hijacking the victim PCs and integrating them into a peer-to-peer botnet. This botnet is highly active and effective to stealthily download and install malicious scamware or scareware without your consent. As documented by many security vendors and security service providers like YooSecurity, The ZeroAccess rootkit has evolved into various versions to keep away from the detections, like previously using kernel-mode components and now operating entirely in user-mode memory. It is written to have reboot infection capabilities by overwriting a Windows driver or Windows Registry, making it very hard to get rid of by most of the security software. Once your PC is infected, ZeroAccess will use these two files to initialize the Trojan: %WINDOWS%\installer\{GUID}\n and %profile%\local settings\application data\{GUID}\n, taking control of the existing COM object and create a Windows user object via Windows Registry. This works effectively under most of 32 and 64-bit Windows systems. The remote commands sent from the ZeroAccess botnet are RC4 or DWORD XOR encrypted. The latest The ZeroAccess rootkit variants like Win 8 Security System are distributed via P2P downloads, fake keygens, fake game download and other fake Warez portals. If you think you are skilled and experienced enough on computer and software issue, you can try to follow the following guide to remove this virus by yourself. Read the rest of this post »

What is Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Virus/ Malware/ Ransomware? How to Remove Fake MSE Alert Ukash Paysafecard Scam?
Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Virus/ Malware/ Ransomware is a tricky fake anti-virus program. If you’ve used Windows Live OneCare, you’ll find MSE somewhat, but not completely, familiar. That’s because, while MSE is based on OneCare, it doesn’t include all of OneCare’s functionality. In particular, MSE drops OneCare’s firewall and file backup features. Legit MSE, then, is strictly an anti-malware program, providing detection and removal of computer viruses, spyware, and adware. It is available only for users of Microsoft Windows; But it fake one is more different from the real one. One of the victims tells:”I am trying to delete the Microsoft Security Essentials Alert ransomware but none of the information on the web is working for me. I have tried starting my HP computer in Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, and Safe Mode with Command Prompt; all bring me to the same screen as Start Windows Normally. These are the only 4 options I now have available to me from the Recovery (or Boot Menu) window. I used to have more available, but they have, sadly, disappeared. I can’t access a command prompt or Windows Start Manager and can find no other work arounds”. What can you do then? Read the rest of this post »
