The first thing you need to do is to set a restore point. Preferably, a week past. If you haven't downloaded anything this week that is important, then restore your computer to a week ago. Do NOT restore it to yesterday or 48 hours ago.
If you have an external hard-drive, I'd save whatever you can to that.

Can I get to that restore point in Safe Mode? FWIW, AVG is still scanning, so I'll have to wait for it to finish. |

download and install. run a full scan. this program has been my go to for years now.
http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebyte...-10804572.html AV Security is a junk virus program that wants you to pay in order to remove "viruses" that are installed in your system. malwarebytes should squash that no problem. /work in tech support //deal with this issue on a near daily basis |

You can try to restore it, but the virus will still be there. Trust me on this, it has happened to me. I think you might be able to download Combofix in safe mode, because the program will boot you into safe mode when it runs. If i remember this process correctly. Try it and see if it will let you.

This was below was posted before:
ttp://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=214468&highlight=virus&page=3 first off, you need to uninstall that AVG trash(and any other anti-virus or monitor)and run the Gauntlet. Behold, Combofix: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/comb...o-use-combofix **** the instructions, SAVE the download(don't run), and make sure ALL anti-virus or malware monitors are DISENGAGED before running. Once that's done, get the REAL DEAL in Maintenance. These apps kick ass and are FAST. Behold, IOBIT: http://download.cnet.com/1770-20_4-0...form%3DWindows Download the first three. Install and run the maintenance suite first( the blue one ). Then install the security program( the red one )and run a full scan. (Get Reminderfox, and set to remind you once a day to do the 'quick scan') Then install the Defrag program and follow it's instructions. Then get this: http://download.cnet.com/Avira-AntiV...html?tag=mncol This program ****s AVG in the ass, and you only have to run it once a week once you do the initial full-system scan. And you can schedule this program. (renamed it alg.exe) Paragon backup http://www.elitekiller.com/malware.htm http://www.malwarebytes.org/ |

It doesn't change any settings or actually wipe the pc right? so is it only used when you are just totally ****ed and the virus scanner/antispyware-malware programs dont load or catch the problem?

I have malwarebytes as well and the only thing that stops this bogus antivirus from popping back up again seems to be combofix. I was down for 2 weeks before i found a forum on the net that directed me to the program.
