I have a virus problem with Virus Protector Pro. Its randomly Shutting stuff down, like internet and folder s, my homepage has been set to asafetyhomepage.com, I got a Toolbar that won’t get away. A 24/7 flashing icon in my taskbar witch alerts me every 10 seconds to buy some program. And it added 5 processes in Task Manager. Iesmin and Iesmn. Deactivating the processes does not work, and I cant find the folder where the program is in. Avast does not recognise it. And every time I click post message the explorer shuts down. This virus is really annoying me, any ideas on how to get rid of the virus?
But do you use this application side-by-side with avast? I mean, what is Virus Protector Pro?

This should take care of the icon and remaining traces of the infection.
thanks!
If your on XP you best turn off system restore, and show hidden files as it hides in those places… also run spybot etc in safe mode
