MS Removal Tool trojan

My laptop got invaded this afternoon by this trojan virus ...its like a scam virus leading you to download the fix to remove the virusses etc it says your computer has ...then they want you to pay $69.99

all looks very scary but your computer is not infected they just want your credit card details in the payment ....

any how i was supicious and luckily had tech guys support from PC world

they just talked me through a system retore in safe mode and wound the computer date back a week and the pesky little trojan was gone ...ran everything thru my AVG and lappy is fine ...

Just wanted to make every one aware of!this nasty scam ..be careful out there ...

Sounds like the same one i had a couple of weeks ago.

Its actually a malware i think you will find.

Did it appear with a windows and lookalike google icons?

If so same one - used a malware removal tool and AVG free.

Took me about two hours to clear the pc i didnt do a wind back on the date.

Yes but when you look at the warning notes carefully there are spelling mistakes.

The first time i saw it i thought it was a genuine windows warning.

Then i looked again - it even blocked my internet access to start with until i found a way around it.

malwarebytes gets rid of it but you need to run in safe mode - there are a few variants of this and each one is looking more and more professional (if that's the right way of putting it). Usually this one gets picked up by clicking on a 'check your pc' pop-up but that's not the only way of getting it. And yes - if you actually enter your credit card details in this then forget paying your mortgage, you'll have no money. Once installed some of the variants also have a payload of other malware etc. so once you've cleaned this do a full virus and spyware scan - and don't just rely on one spyware scanner - malwarebytes and spybot search & destroy are good and for a free anti-virus you can't get much better than avast.... oh - if you didn't realise I'm a techie...

I ran malwarebites and AVG to sort the thing out.

There is a very nasty version that appeared on a freinds computer, they clicked on the program, downloaded it, 12 hours later.... 6,500 virus detections. They lost everything, there was no way to remove it!
