Malware - Vista Antispyware Purchase
« on: April 15, 2010, 09:19:46 AM »
Hello
Have AVAST registered as my antivirus, but last night the Avast symbol was replaces by the Vista sheild and now I cannot use the internet at all, am being pointed to purchase Vista antispyware....?  Look from work internet today, I see this may be malware?  Not very good technically........why did Avast fail to recognise this, and how can I get rid of it

Thanks

Second, Follow this removal guide for Vista Antispyware by Bleepingcomputer.

Check your computer for Malware with

after install click UPDATE and run quick scan, click on REMOVE SELECTED to quarantine anything found

SUPERAntiSpyware http://filehippo.com/download_superantispyware/
Are cookies really spyware and are they dangerous?
