XP antivirus 2012
« on: January 13, 2012, 12:54:03 AM »
I was here reading about this virus yesterday and followed some advice given to someone else after attempting to disable the virus from instructions on another website.  It didn't work, but after following the instructions here I was able to block the virus with Rkill...and then I downloaded Spyware Doctor and ran a scan which I'm pretty sure got rid of the virus.  I posted, asking advice at another forum and didn't get any replies when I found your website.

So, now one of those posters who also posts/helps people here, told me I needed to have your advice to make sure the virus is completely gone from my computer as it may not be totally gone.  So, I'm here asking  :D

I may not respond until tomorrow night because I work 12 1/2 hour shifts in another town and working the next three days but will check and then do whatever I need to do when I'm off again, to make sure it's gone.  TIA.

Hi, Kathsgrdn.  Welcome to LandzDown Forum.  I'm glad R-C (ravencajun) told me you were having problems getting activated and we got that taken care of. 

We will do our best to assist you.  However, in order to do so, please follow all instructions provided in the sequence given.  Do not install/re-install any programs or run any fixes or scanners that you have not been instructed to use.  This may cause conflicts with the tools being used in the cleanup process.   

If you have questions regarding any of the instructions or problems running any tools, please let us know.

In addition to making sure the rogue is off of your computer, since you mentioned at GardenWeb your computer has been slow for a while, hopefully we can help "speed things up" a bit.
