ICPP trojan

hi g1184

do you still have an IQ manager in your Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel or in Processes in Task Manager?

there are chances you can break the back of this Fake AV if you can uninstall or at least stop the nasty from run while you rid yr system of it. Services is another place to look. Start -> right-click (My) Computer-> choose Manage-> click through Services and Applications to get Services window to open, and check for IQ Manager.

the updated avast virus database got antimalware doctor to stop loading on startup, so that's one step forward. Both Antimalware Doctor and Digital Protection are still "installed" on my computer, though they're not running anymore. I now have rundll32 problems when i try to open add/remove programs though.

The services idea is good, i'll check there too. thanks!

after an updated Malwarebytes scan, i'm almost 100% in the clear.

Sounds good. I think the antivirus people will soon be well onto the makeup of this Fake AV.
