um that woould be a great idea if only Malwarebytes would actually run. avp2009 blocks most if not all anti-spyware/malware programs as well as all anti-virus programs.
anyone having any true results yet ? these creators of this thing in the Ukraine need to be NUKED !
I just found Antivirus Pro 2009 and I am having a very hard time removing it from my computer. It blocks me from receiving updates from any of my spyware/antivirus/malware programs and has been almost every website that has offered solutions to removing it. This is one of the few sites that actually loaded when I visited them (via google search as well as copy/pasting the url).
Also, of the sites that let me through, those that linked me to a site that offered malaware/spyware removal of avp2009, those linked pages couldn’t be reached.
I’m glad that this site linked to a general download site that avp2009 didn’t block so I could get Malawarebyte. Here’s hoping that it takes care of the problem.
I had antivirus pro 2009 on my pc. Not knowing very much about this kind of threat I paid for the stupid thing.Cost me ninety six dollars. I guess I got duped. Is there any way I can get my money back?I don’t even have an icon on my desktop for this antivirus. As far as I know I paid for nothing
Malwaredetector seems to have deleted antivirus 2009 … so it seems it can be trusted. It ran fine for me … but you seem to have to go directly to the site to download it … you can’t really do a search for it on yahoo because it seems antivirus pro blocks the search. Anyway once I ran it, it worked. I then DELETED malwaredector and went to download.com and downloaded AVG. AVG I was told by someone I know, is a very good, legitimate program.
We paid $72 last night for antivirus pro. We called the credit card company today and told them we refuse to pay the charge. That’s the benefit of using a credit card I guess. We ain’t paying. But malwaredector seems pretty trustworthy, I just deleted it …well, I don;t know why … andyway I;m running AVG right now, AND I’m not going to pay the credit card bill. I just wonder how antivirus 2009 got on my computer to begin with. I read you have to update your windows sfotware regularly. Perhaps that is what I failed to do.
i had the same exact problem megumicheng was having i got all the antiviruses in the world but avp would prevent any of them from update…even the almighty avg….i had eset nod32, spyware search and destroy…and so on, nothing would work…and also it blocks websites related to killing viruses…smh
i’ll see wwhen i get back home and try this out…i downloaded it to a flash drive and i’ll install it on the infected comp…
did anyone else also get an error message about a phony google intalling failing almost every 10 minutes??
ok so i tried the malwarebytes thing….i installed it on another comp and got it updated and everything, put it on a flash drive, now it installs on the infected comp…albeit a whole lot longer…but it doesn’t respond when i try to click it either double click or right clicking it….
can someone tell me whats wrong???
please help me :(
Rename the mbam.exe to mbam.com and then try to run it from within the folder by double clicking on it.
The Av2009 seems to block certain applications from running. Nice eh!
Tried all of the above without making any headway.
Downloaded the setup, but it wouldn’t let me open it. Downloaded the to a different computer, saved it to the flashdrive, and the infected computer will not open it. Tried to rename it to mbam.com but it says that is invalid.
I never even fell for the scam! The virus downloaded itself onto my computer, ran the scan, suggested I purchase it (which I did not), then began to block every single website saying that they were risky to access, and popping up in the lower left corner saying that my computer was infected. I went through all of my files on my computer and deleted enough of it so that I am able to access websites and the pop ups have ceased, however, I am unable to click on any links from google still, and my computer often times will not turn on (windows just doesn’t load).
Any other suggestions would be very appreciated :)
