WinBlueSoft
« on: June 05, 2009, 01:03:39 AM »
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?

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

Oh, it will be good to have a clean computer before ;)

From http://thecooltools.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-to-remove-winbluesoft-uninstall.html

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.
