I got a virus called "Win 7 antivirus 2012" It killed my win defender
A few days ago i got the nastiest virus on my machine i have ever seen.
It didn't slow my machine down any due to my having more cores and ram than i could ever use
But it got all executable files and redirected them to the virus.
It also new exactly were to hit my comp disabling my internet explorer\firefox killing my windows defender getting through my firewall and disabling most control panel programs.
I was able to get my comp back thanks to this website
i had to look at in on i different comp though.
Remove Win 7 Antispyware 2012 and Vista Antivirus 2012 name changing rogue (Uninstall Guide)
It saved me disabling the virus long enough too get control of my comp to resolve the problem.
But sadly the virus damaged my windows defender and it has not recovered.
I went to the windows website to download windows defender but Microsoft wont install it due to it thinking it is already installed.
It is not listed in add\remove programs.
I looked in turn windows features on or off and it was non existent there as well.
So after a long day of head banging i called it a day.
At least i got my comp back up to full speed
So if you guys have some pointers i would be appreciative :)
P.S. From my experience it was pretty complex. It knew exactly were to hit plus it posed as an anti virus program so a less experienced person would have believed it.
