Andy Manchesta, you are God! Unsolicited download warning and how to fix it…

You loser-punk-ass people who create malicious software and trojans need a serious reality check…GET A LIFE!

Hey kids—I was infected with a very aggressive trojan-worm unwelcomed-download to my laptop today. It slowed all the processes so much I couldn’t work offline on my website. Warning pop-ups kept trying to get me to click on them every 10 seconds.

There was nothing in the Add/Remove Programs. Very sneaky. Stay away from this website—www dot the rental wizard dot com. They can tag what you Google Search so it comes up in the list. Very tricky. This evil website locked my Task Manager and would not allow me to close any programs! As I was looking for the problem files which I could not find, there appeared 3 new icons on my desktop: “protect files” with a sword and shield (bluish in color), “spyware” a square shape (orangish in color), and the other was redish in color, I forgot the name. When I found them in C:/ and hovered over with my mouse this website came up: www dot virus web protect dot com / shandler dot php.

I used our desktop computer to search for this website. Here is a link to what helped me with this issue: www.computing net Read the thread and follow the link to Andy Manchesta’s website to battle trojan ilk.

After I completed the fix, my virus software detected this: Adware:Win32/Vapsup. I quarantined it, not knowing if it was safe or not. Then I read this: www.microsoft.com Adware is a relatively new virus. Just wanted you to know—this is my cyber holding-hands-while-we-cross-the-street together. Remember being encouraged to do that when we were young?

Thank you Andy and Computer.net folks! You are cool people.

(Addendum, next morning)–Please note the website that the trojan was trying to open is: www dot ultimate cleaner dot com. That was in the address window. The address that showed up in my tab list was: www dot soft ware referral dot com / jump dot php ? wmid = 6010 & mid = MjI60jg5 & li It defaulted one of my tab homepages and was right there when I opened Explorer today. I deleted the tab.

***All the address in bold do not have spaces. I did not want to link to these creeps.
