I am back after struggling to get rid of some Malwares!!! There are a few of them and they are known as SpyFalcon, SpyAxe, SpyQuake.....etc. I was hit with SpyFalcon which was installed into my PC by itself! I did not know how it managed to infiltrate into my PC!!! I had SpyBot, Ad-aware and AVG Anti-virus, but all could not detect it even though I uninstalled it using the Add/Remove Program.
I mean it was unistalled but there were so parasite files or folders that it came with. On my in tray, there were always a prompt telling me that my PC is infected and need to get certain softwares to get rid of it. I did not know how the hell it went into the in tray and in my Start up Menu. I went to "msconfig" and could not see that too! There were also pop ups from CASINOS, GAMES, to.....XXX sites! :X:X:X Not only that, my Internet Explorer homepage was locked!!! It was seen in the address bar: "about:balnk" and later became http://www.spydefender.com (DO NOT CLICK on that link)!!!
So in the end I went to post a thread in http://www.castlecops.com which I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to all if anyone is it with PC problems. However, due to the MASSIVE posts, my post was not answered. :(However, I began to read up posts of others who had the same problems as me. And it took me 2 FULL days to get rid of it and another half a day to do some restore backup!!! There was no one helping me as I had no choice but to do a trial and error instead of calling in the PC repairman in the last resort!
I am glad that this Spyware nightmare was all over!!! Oh I forgot to mention, these latest spywares were so smart as they were not identified by the anti-spyware softwares as jun/spy/ad wares or softwares, they just find their way into your PCs!!!
If anyone is hit with the similar problem, please feel free to email me as I might be able to help you. It is too tedious to write EVERYTHING in a thread here!!!
So I am back and posting threads and pics again!!!:):):)
