I can’t remove a exe file. It’s name is Macromedia.exe. I don’t know what it is but my antivirus told me it’s containing risk and asked me to remove it in time.

My computer got a Trojan virus yesterday . MSE report it as TrojanDropper:Win32/Sirefef.B. I don’t know why my antivirus can’t remove it. I just found the path of the virus and removed it but after I restarted my computer later, It came back. And the MSE kept reporting that my computer has the virus. I’m really confused. Is that just report or I have already removed the virus. Do I need to worry about the case?

I got an alert from AVG. It says my computer is at risk. I have several viruses on my computer. I tried to delete them but not succeed completely. I was able to delete most of the virus that were listed by AVG, but not including a Trojan virus called TSPY_FAREIT.ACU. Similar steps seem not to work on this stubborn one. So I did the removal in some other ways by using different removal tools. Unfortunately I failed the same. For the most good way, it is deleted. But when I have done a restart to make the removal operation effective, it came back. The same warning from AVG is going to drive me crazy since I have been working on it for more than 3 hours. Are there any easy ways to make sense on this issue?
Description of TSPY_FAREIT.ACU
TSPY_FAREIT.ACU is a notorious Trojan Horse infection. It has the capability to replicate itself constantly and without a stop. In that way, the space of your disks is reduced. This copy is in the system registry and many other system files of important programs on your computer. So you may find that some of the programs you are usually using don’t work well or refuse to work at all. And due to the lack of space, your computer performance is getting worse and worse such as taking forever to run some games, normal programs and opening the browsers. More than that, there will be many pop-ups of some error massages given which can definitely interrupt you while you are working. You will suffer a lot of such cases if you keep on using the infected computer without getting rid of this Trojan virus quickly. Read the rest of this post »

Why my web browser keeps opening My.rally.io even if I don’t want it. It’s really annoying. I never set it as my homepage but why it became my homepage automatically? I reset my internet explorer but the homepage is still the awful site. I don’t need it at all. How can I remove this redirect? Why didn’t my anti-virus pick it up? Who can help me remove it?
My.rally.io Redirect Description
My.rally.io has the same interface as many other similar search engine web sites. However, it’s indeed a browser hijack virus. We define it as a browser hijack virus or redirect virus for the reason that when people get this virus infection, their web browser will not run in the right way. For example, its whole looking may be changed and the previous settings may also be changed but you can’t change the settings back to normal. So that’s why when you open the web browser, it will go to other web sites automatically even if you don’t want. And this browser hijack virus always redirect you to My.rally.io, which has very charming looking. It looks like a professional search engine. Don’t be fooled by it, it has no any search functions. When you try to search on the page, it will just promote you many other malicious web sites or fishing sites to you.
