Spyware...
I originally thought I had a virus, but when I searched, "Win32.IEmonster" turns out it's a fake threat that makes you think you have a virus and causes you to purchase their virus protection.
The damned program doing this is Green AV. I don't know how it got installed, but I can't figure out how to remove it from my computer. All the spyware scans I use will look for them, and make me wait for two hours before they tell me that in order to remove the threats I need to purchase the software for x amount of money. Anyone heard of "Green AV" and know a way to get rid of it? |
I don't know what you're using, but stop using it, and install:
Spybot S&D AVG Anti-Virus MalwareBytes |
Are those free, like they will remove it for free? Or just tell me hey, I have an issue for free.
|
They're completely free - will scan for free, tell you you have an issue for free, and get rid of it for free.
|
i did find the kaspersky key before .... no its not the free one either but the ome you could buy
|
Spybot SD didn't remove Green AV. Im trying AVG but, one hour + into the scan and it has found zero threats.
|
microsoft live one care is pretty nice
|
Apparently one of the most widely used programs to get rid of Green AV is Malwarebytes.
Did you install it? And here are a few sites for you: http://www.spywarevoid.com/remove-gr...9-removal.html http://www.spywarevoid.com/remove-gr...v-removal.html http://cantalktech.com/2009/05/16/re...ntivirus-2009/ |
I know I'm a little late. So, were you able to remove it?
If not, I wrote more below under me Quoting Lenny. Quote:
I also suggest, if Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware Fails, to use SuperAntiSpyware. |
Malwarebytes didnt even find it, I ended up purchasing SpywareDoctor, and it found it and removed it instantly. I am content - thanks for the help.
