Hello there, i got this annoying pop-up problems after i open a shortcut file in may [b]flash drive[/b].do[b] not[/b] plug it in before Essexboy say so....
OK next to clean the drive
Download MCShield to your desktop and install
It will initially run a scan and show the result as a toaster by the system clock
Then in the control centre select scanner and tick unhide items on flash drives
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/mcshield%20unhide.JPG
Plug in the drive and McShield will start a scan
Then get the log which will be located under the logs tab on the main page
And post that
i have scan it with MCshield. heres the log file.
Any further problems ?
well, the pop-ups has stopped. there’s no further problems. does it mean that my pc is safe now? the malware has been removed?
My assessment would be yes, keep MCShield to prevent this type of attack
Subject to no further problems
I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems
Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean
A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:
Download and run Delfix

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:
CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
