| 1177626 | 2011-02-13 00:59:00 | Hi, Is there any advice on how to dislodge the above piece of "software" from our computer. My main problem is that it has completely hijacked the computer and it will not even start in SAFE MODE. In normal mode no program will run tho I have been able to move some files to relative safety. Have been unable to change boot order to run recovery disc as well. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks. |

| 1177627 | 2011-02-13 01:06:00 | Only other thing to do, remove the hdd, put it in a working system. Scan the whole hdd with a virus scanner / malwarebytes. What happens when you try and boot into safe mode? Try last known good config | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1177629 | 2011-02-13 01:19:00 | Had one of these just the other day. Download Kaspersky Rescue CD and burn to a disc or put on a USB stick and boot off it. Update it and then run a scan. support.kaspersky.com |

| 1177630 | 2011-02-13 02:39:00 | Are you talking about Avira Antivir? (www.avira.com) That is a legitimate AntiVirus and would not 'hijack' your computer. |
