How do you remove Trojan Horse Dropper.Generic4.COEV from a windows vista computer? My avast caught it this morning but it was not able to delete its files. Because of the infection I have been given non-stop warning. I tried to delete the Trojan virus by looking into my system registry but I was not computer savvy and didn’t know which to delete. I also advised to try several popular antivirus but they all said they have removed the virus but my avast checked and told me it was still there. What is the most efficient method?

Information about Trojan Horse Dropper.Generic4.COEV :

Trojan Horse Dropper.Generic4.COEV is not a friendly script to computer users. It was created by some hackers and targets at machine especially with windows operating systems. The most popular way this Trojan virus transacts is hiding in some files of regular programs and spreading itself all over the hard drive after it gets installed. It is well designed but it could be caught by famous antivirus such as Norton, AVG, and Microsoft Security Essentials, etc. They can catch the activities of this Trojan infection and send out alerts to the net users. But they are not enabled to delete the virus files because the virus has been modified by its creators to disguise as regular system files and people who are not good enough with computers dare not to delete any suspicious files.

I’ve got Updateplayers.com pop-up ads on my Mozilla Firefox. I want to know what to do to remove it. I have tried several antiviruses and none of them worked. They neither can detect it nor delete it for me. I am sure it is there because I have been redirected to other sites and most of them are related to this Updateplayers.com. How can I clean it out completely and permanently?

A Brief Instruction of the Pop-up Ads

Updateplayers.com pop-up ads is the main reason why your browsers give you too many popping ups when you are using them. If you are frequently redirected to this updateplayers.com and have no clue what causes it you may be told to have this pop-up ads on your computer. It is not a virus technically. However, it brings unwanted pop-ups and redirection on the machine it invades which makes it exactly fit the character of a browser hijacker item. Despite of how it affects the browser it is able to make effect on your system registry. It often comes from the installer package from unsafe sites or freeware. It can be installed along with the procedure of installation of a legal program. The most significant symptom that your computer has been hacked by the pop-up ads is the change on your brwosers.

I want to know how do you remove PUP.Optional.ThinkTankLabs.A from your computer. My antivirus keeps sending me the warning infection of this PUP and I cannot get it off completely or permanently. The alert only allows me to click on delete/remove it but after that I’ve got the failure message on failed removing it please try again. I really have tried a couple of times but it still no luck. Are there any other ways I can give it a shot?

Information about PUP.Optional.ThinkTankLabs.A:

PUP.Optional.ThinkTankLabs.A is the potentially unwanted program which is often known as PUP infection. The PUP infection is designed by the net hackers to distribute its malicious programs to random computer thus they can get illegal profits. It has made thousands of computers infected all over the world. It is extremely severe as it is well configured by the Cyber criminals to invade into a computer with low detection easily. Computer users are likely to be confronted with unwanted changes in their system. For instance, the infected machine may shut down automatically from no reason; it may hang when you are doing some work on it and you can get various error codes. What is more, your system may keep sending you message of no responding constantly. Briefly speaking, your computer is just working weirdly and out of your control. The infection of this PUP is also enabled to take changes to your system registry and other default settings. The browser can be one of the obvious victims. It will be caught by many different popping ups and redirects the users to some sites which they are not willing to visit. This can be a side effect of the PUP infection. Since you are forced to get unsafe web sites all the time you may be misled to click on any unsafe back links without your intention. In that way other online spread threats can get into your computer much more easily. That means the main injury the virus could bring to your computer is not the infection alert but the possibility it enlarges to enable other viruses get into the vulnerable system.  Read the rest of this post »

I was on Fackbook earlier and then Dream Scan Soft popped up on my screen and scanned my computer automatically. I need help!!! It overrode my computer, made all .exe file terminate when I tried to open them, ran all the fake system scans and popped all kinds of messages talking about how bad is my computer. No matter what options I chose on this program, it just took me to a page asking me to pay for the full version. I knew it was a fake antivirus, however I just tried everything I can but still cannot uninstall it. Any idea?

What is Dream Scan Soft Fake Antivirus?

Fake Antivirus (FakeAV) threats have been rampant in the past few years. Dream Scan Soft, as the latest fake antivirus program, is designed with the same aim like other rogue programs – to cheat inexperienced computer users into purchasing a useless product. Generally speaking, this kind of rogue program can infect a computer without any consent and permission. It appears to be beneficial from a security perspective but provides limited or no security, generates erroneous or misleading alerts, or attempts to lure users into participating in fraudulent transactions like the previous virus called Windows Activity Booster and Smart Guard Protection. It could be installed automatically through by clicking malicious code or unsafe advertising pop-ups, visiting pornographic website or downloading attachment from spam emails. As soon as it gets installed, it scans your computer just like a real PC cleaner does and tells you your computer is seriously infected. But that’s only what the whole process looks like and it is not real at all. The scan does not reveal any true facts about how your system is functioning for the moment and whether or not it has spyware on board. It just reports the things you don’t actually have.

Recently I have been having an annoying issue with firefox and I think my home page seems to have been hijacked. As soon as I open the browser, I’ll have multiple tabs up on one window and homepage was changed. Despite using the home page settings it continues to come up with Utorrent.inspsearch.com. I tried using the Reset Firfox and that hasn’t helped either. Is this website legit? Why do I keep redirecting to this page? How do I get rid of this annoying hijacker?

Utorrent.inspsearch.com Redirect/ Pop-up Description:

Utorrent.inspsearch.com, a website associated with adware and browser hijacker virus that can appear on the target computers without any approval. Although this is a hyperlink address and can lead users to a page that provides a search engine, this page is still suspicious. It doesn’t provide the same results like any reputable search engines Google, Yahoo or Bing give you. Instead, it puts shady websites in the top of their search results to lure users into clicking on them. If you keep this threat inside the computer and use utorrent search as your default search engine, it will put your computer in a risky situation since a browser hijacker can make use of cookies to collect data about the website you frequent the most. It may get a hold of your internet profile, and in the end it allows Utorrent.inspsearch.com to display pop-up advertisements embedded with a content that is related to your likes.

Internet plays as a beneficial place for people to get all programs they needed, in the meanwhile, bad things become mixed with the good resource. Cyber criminals can tamper usable softwares and put vicious stuffs into them. So during the installation, people can be asked to have a choice about the optional programs to be installed into computer, without a careful reading about that, some useless programs can be added into. Therefore, some bad things may happen to those computers. Also, this PUP can come to your computer in this way. On the other way, computer can be infected by this PUP while the user is visiting some malicious websites, as you can see, virus, Trojan or other threats can invade your computer if there is a connection with the Internet. Hackers can put those bad things in websites, when people try to visit those pages, virus can come to the computer automatically. Read the rest of this post »
