inksdata worm, how to get rid of

Viruses and worms
1

Ok, so I’ve read the posts on the topic of getting rid of this inksdata virus

The issue is on my other computer. I’m in the process of downloading and running the Ad cleaner software. Everyone else seems to have sent a follow up post after doing such stating this didn’t get rid of it. So once this is done I guess I’ll post a follow up and someone will instruct me from there as to what to do next? I read something about posting a log file etc…

Thanks,

Get and install Malwarebytes (free), close all applications and run it.

Doing it now on the computer with the issues. Maybe you can help me understand, why do we run all this anti virus and malware software, and end up with these viruses and malware? I don’t get it. I thought installing and running these programs was to prevent that?

Thank you for helping :slight_smile:

no security program have 100% detection... and the bad guys release new versions evryday to avoid detection...

what you have is a browser hijacker. these often comes bundled with other free software you download

It is as with human viruses, only after a new one is found… Doctors can create a cure for it.

Hi,
Just wanted to thank everybody that replied to me, I appreciate that you took the time to help me and explain this to me!
This is off topic and for that I apologize, I’m just trying to figure out where/how I can get something for my website that would allow people to view different fonts that I have available for custom embroidery and printing. In other words, they could type their name or word or phrase in, select a font from the drop down list, and voila! They would see a preview of their name/word/phrase in the selected font? I’ve asked several so far and have yet to find any info on this yet I know they exist. Thanks. my e-mail is sales at twistedstitches dot biz (u know where to replace w/the right stuff for the address :wink:
Have a nice weekend.

You could do it with something like the code below.
For more information have a look at the W3schools website.
HTML:

<div class="container">
yourtexthere <select>
    <option class="courier">courier</option>
    <option>aa</option>
    <option style="font-family:impact;" selected="selected">bb</option>
</select>
</div>

CSS:

.container
  {
    font-size:30px;
    font-family:Lucida Handwriting;
   }
select
{
    font-family:inherit;
    font-size:inherit;
}

option.courier
 {
    font-family:courier;
 }

You did not tell us if you solved your problem… or do you need help from a removal expert?

My apologies. I do not have those irritating ads coming up or any of the other irritating things that were occurring before I followed the advice here. Does this mean they are gone? Or so I need to do some sort of search to be sure?

Thank you!
