I have some .. technology deficient relatives staying with me. I can not count how many times I've warned them. "If something pops up saying that your computer is at risk/etc..come get me immediately..if not sooner..and for all that is holy..do not click on it. It is a virus." Welllll...we all probably know where this is headed right? I've got to give the scum that made this credit (sorry for insulting all the scum out there), it is really difficult to get rid of..especially since it hijacks your start up.
Called Windows Recovery 7 for those of you who want to make sure to avoid it, McAfee and Malwarebytes even had to be updated to finally track it down and thrash it..and even then..had to be ran simultaneously..and we all know what resource hogs anti-spyware can be. Just would love these jokers who have no life, but do these things, to DIAF thanks. Will probably be scrubbing my hard drive for a week now.
Edit : Oh and bonus .. it hides all your icons, and programs in your start up menu (for the most part) also. Yay.
