Sadly, system restore has been turned and Daprosy cannot be removed in safe mode… Worse, many AV’s cannot run on systems infected by this worm!
Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware software picked this worm up on my computer, quarantined it, and removed it. You can download the software at cnet.com. I trust cnet for all of my downloads. This software picked up the worm after AVG missed it.
hi BklynLady, how to download the malware from cnet.com?
