WinBlueSoft

I need help getting rid of it. Annoying desktop pop-ups alerting me of “virus detections,” slowing my computer, and displaying on my windows security center that i “do not” have a virus program available (aside from downloading winbluesoft)… over time it just slows my computer down. I am running Avast 4.8 (trial), but am unable to get rid of this problem.

What can I do?

Try system restore point just like it says!

no dice. cleaned out a bunch of junk from my comp, but the problem remains.

would it matter that i had deleted the faulty software b4 i ever did any virus scans?

DID YOU TRY WHAT YoKenny and I SUGGESTED?

Sometimes, Windows Security Center stops recognizing your antivirus or firewall… So, check your system time and date and also http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=23457.msg193534#msg193534

-= WinBlueSoft…? I believe, it is rogue… http://www.spywareremove.com/removeWinBlueSoft.html

-= Try running malwarebytes antimalware to see if it can fix the problem…

How I love those rogues, changing your background and installing those zlobs.

Lol very funny^^

Just run MBAM and it will surely remove that crap!^^

  1. Malwarebytes Anti Malware
  2. Lavasoft Ad Aware needed for second scan and real-time protection (not offered by the first one)

It is highly recommended for you to turn off System Restore. Right click My Computer and select Properties. Click on System Restore tab and check the box next to Turn Off System Restore and press Enter. This threat also known as WiniBlueSoft. Turn on the system restore again after you have delete the threat and restart your PC.
