virus busters
« on: November 23, 2006, 07:36:33 PM »
When I was surfing virus busters got installed automatically and showed some spyware and trojans which was simulaneously caught by avast which I had quarantined.

Then I uninstalled it and removed it from the startup also. Even after this, virus buster has left an icon of virusbusters.com which was originally removed from the start up list.

Can you please guide me as to how to remove the icon from the task bar and cutoff messaging from this icon.

Is it possible to have the icon of the software which I had uninstalled from the system.  Kindy clarify.

Thanks

Hi pscraja,

You should realise that this goes by many different names and one of them is Virusburst or Virusbusters...there is a great tool here which should remove the problem. Follow the instructions exactly.

 :)  Hi :

     You have the latest BAD piece of SPYWARE; you would be better off getting guidance from the
     volunteer Experts of your antiSPYWARE Provider; if you know of none, I recommend the little
     known one at www.landzdown.com , because of its fast turnaround time. Analysis of Smitfraudfix
     logs are best done on such forums.
