I had to deal with at least 6 instances of it today and pretty much everyone I work with was mentioning it coming up as a tech support call driving issue.

Yeah but is that not down to there anti virus being from you, and no the best :lol:
If you get it you can go into the task manager and manually run a system restore to a couple days before this should allow you to go on-line and download something to fix it

With some of these pests (the newer ones), a system restore is not enough, it wont help, as sometimes elements of the program hide in the "WINDOWS" folder and in protected files so system restore does not change them...., you roll back and the pest is rolling back with you.
i find that running Malware bytes in safe mode first, then running hitman pro, followed by Avast (pre-windows boot scan) fixes most things, i use ATF cleaner and CCleaner as well to clear out the remains of what the security tools leave behind

Aye because it's me personally that makes it. Wide-o. :lol:
It isn't just affecting customers of who I work for it's supposedly affecting millions of people world wide. As sunbury noted, the system restore will rarely solve this. *edit just saw your post above mine and agree with you*
I don't care though cos I'm alright jack
pedro083 said:I know it will not sort the problem but the one andy is talking about locks you out from seeing any window icons to load or do anything but you can still load the task manger using the shortcut keys. Then after a system restore the virus is still there but not completly locked you out and you can access you computer to download the appropiate software, or run the scans you need to. Cause if you dont have they programmes steve you need to download them and if the malware is stopping you doing it you are kind of stuck

That falls into the category of 'malware'. Spyware is the software that (often quietly) intercepts user data, such as cookies or keyboard strokes and sends them back to the eavesdropper.
