Okay guys, What we should start off with is knowing the best protection..
Best free protection, would be avast! Link --- [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Now, if theres 1 thing that this virus protector can't clean, there is a program called "Malawarebytes-antiMalaware" just quick scan your computer, and in 20 seconds or show it should pick up the virus, depends how deep the virus is on the machine the link will be here ( [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] )
------------------Paid protection----------------------------
That would be Kaspersky, I don't really trust Norton, thats because it mucks up when I had it, you can find Kaspersky 2010 at bestbuy or your techstore, (buy the 2011) but if you feel cumfortable purchasing with paypal here is the link ( [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] )
----------------------The internet security virus---------------------------------
Guys this virus, won't let you open squat, it will say for example "Norton Anti-virus is trying to steal your credit card information, now if it's not going to let me open my AV to fix this, if your going to ask, Restart your computer press f8 repidedly until you get the option to boot up your computer with, select "SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING" Okay because if you open it up with just safe mode the virus will still do it. Once in safe mode with networking open up your Av (Anti-Virus) Do a virus scan, if you scan with malawarebytes-Anti malaware it will pick it up in 40 seconds, if you feel cumfortable with AV run with Av.
---------------------RATS - Keyloggers-------------------------------
Don't download, Keylogger softwares, DDoSers okay? just don't download an .exe file from an unknown publisher, it's more then likely a rat and uhh 1 more thing DONT DOWNLOAD STUFF OFF YOUTUBE!
-------------------------How to remove RAT----------------
Ok, ofter RAT viruses are FUD ( fully un-decidable ) from Anti- virus programs. here are some tips on how to remove the RAT.
Also RAT = Remote Administration Tool; like Team viwer but you dont know it and the person can do anything he wants.
Before you do anything unplug your internet!! Often if the hacker sees you trying to remove the virus he will just wipe your C drive right there ( yes it possible and very easy )
1. go to your task manager. (on Windows vista and 7 you press CTRL+ALT+DEl to get to it) then look for any porcesses with the name of: Server.exe, cybergate.exe, blackshades.exe, or darkcomet.exe ( defualt names for the rat but them may be differet ) then end those processes
2. If you notice you got the virus recently and you might know what file you got it from go to [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . virustotal .com (no spaces) and scan that file for viruses
3. those are the only real ways to remove the virus without doing a system restore ( this is not reformating your computer )
-----------keylogger removal-----------------
There is no actual way to remove a keylogger ( Or tricks ) to remove a keylogger. You better just pray that you have a good antivirus ( Kaspersky, Avaria, avast )
but this may work
1. shut off your computer ASAP
2. when its loading keep pressing 12 untill you can choose safe mode with internet
3. when you do that download malware bytes at : [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
4. run it and delete everything it finds
Or you wont have to do any of that stuff by following some simple ways to not get a virus in the first place
facts about viruses
1. Viruses can only effect your computer if you run the program (if you save it and dont run it, nothing will happen)
2. ONLY .exe files can be a virus, ( EXE is the common filename extension denoting an executable file (a program) in the DOS, OpenVMS, Microsoft Windows, Symbian, and OS/2 operating systems )
----------------------Sandboxing------------------------
Sanboxing (The ultimate AV) By using a sandbox, everything that is downloaded onto your computer will remain in the sandbox. It will not escape, meaning that malicious downloads cannot harm your computer. Sandboxing is a great way to test whether or not a website can be trusted. I rarely do this, but it's so useful sometimes.
Sandboxing will also protect your cookies, history and cached temporary files from being leaked. Downloads are isolated, meaning that they are trapped and your computer is protected. But some trojans can crash your computer if it is run in sanboxie, but its still better than getting the virus itself.
heres a download link to sandboxie : [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
--------------Firewalls---------------------
The good antiviruses will have a built-in Firewall ( avast has one ), but if not, then it may be worth downloading one. Firewalls aren't essential, but can help a lot.
Some firewalls have IP masking options, but these can usually slow down your computer and are not worth using unless you're doing something illegal.
The main use of a firewall is to prevent incoming traffic, which will stop things like 'telnet' from reaching your connection, and can also stop worms etc. from accessing your network. Firewalls will also block the backdoors that trojans create, so if you find yourself unlucky enough to have a RAT (Remote Admin tool) on your computer, the backdoor should be blocked by your firewall, but it is possible for a trojan to bypass this. Having a firewall does not mean you are secure, many firewalls can be easily disabled or bypassed by malware. Some firewalls will also block legit connections, such as downloads for software. Do not think you're secure just because you have a firewall, this is a common misconception with firewalls. Too many people think that by installing a highly popular firewall, they'll instantly be secure against the latest intrusions, but this is not at all true.
Firewalls may also make an effect on your connection speed. If you have a very fast download speed, you may notice a difference when you get a firewall, but the download speed may remain normal on users with slower speeds. This effect can vary between users, and depends on the connection. It's best to try several firewalls to find out which one suits you best - reviews are personal and will not always be the same for everyone.
One of the favourite firewalls is "ZoneAlarm" which is very popular and has a free version. The paid version is obviously better, but it isn't necessary at all.
If you're using Windows Vista, I'd recommend choosing ZoneAlarm as your firewall. The same goes for XP, but you might want to get your hands on a "BlackIce" crack instead, if possible.
Another great Firewall is "Comodo" which is also free can be found here...
Comodo: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Zone Alarm: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Ghost: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Obvious ways to tell if somthing is a virus.
1. if you going to download a modding program look at the persons post count and rep
2. When you download the file and its not is a .zip or .rar file with other files in it ( for example a "read me.txt" its often a virus
3. if you are in doubt if somthing is a virus use www . virustotal .com (no spaces) this uses 42 different anti-virus scanners.
I hope i helped. Also i didnt know where else to post this or there are any other posts regaurding this topic but i hope i helped some of you. please thank the topic if it helped:) also please feel free to comment
