malware removal report

[Dinesh]

Hi guys, i heavily infected my pc with some nasty viruses and malware.

I ran a couple of Anti virus and anti malwares to clean my pc.

I m happy to produce the results.

1: Kaspersky Anti virus: To my surprise, not detected anything.


2: Malware Bytes Anti Malware: Detected 234 items.

3: Super Anti-Spyware: Detected 643 items.

4: Spybot Search & Destroy: Just like Nod32, Detected most of the harmful items as soon as the program was installed.

5: Avast Anti Virus: nothing detected.

6: Microsoft Security Essentials: Not detected anything.

6: ESET NOD32 Anti Virus: Detected the malware as soon as the installation was complete (without even running the scan).


7: Windows Defender: Sucks(As always).

Want me to use any other Anti virus or anti spyware to test?

Hope that helps,

Dinesh.

Im not surprised at the results as I have my own favorite. It figures you would go the exra yard to infect your own computer to get the results. Im sure everyone should be reading it

Kaspersky<NOD32
This just proves it.

EDIT: Is that the smileycentral crap?
I had Avast! on my mothers pc but for some reason she was still able to download and install this product..Also, A Malwarebytes Anti-Malware scan shown over 200 trojans, most are Trojan.Vundo.
Learned my lesson, Ill NEVER go back to avast! Again!
(BTW, The PC was STILL slow, but now its running windows 7 with NOD32 and not vista anymore.)

The best way to stop theses kinds of infections in the FIRST place is to download this addon:

yeah. now i m cleaning my computer before anything serious happens.
Thanks ken.
It was just an attempt to help people to choose something that really works.


Above comment especially for MSE users.

In other words, Don't just trust things blindly.

So in this instance, what are you saying? Spybot Search & Destroy and Nod32 FTW together or what?

that's exactly what I use and feel very safe

Well we all know dont run more than one AV at a time, But why not. I have 2 MSE, and ESS 4.x that play fine together and cause no added drain. They catch different thhings, run at different times, and generally I forget about them.

Mainly because they will most likely detect each others definintions (resulting in a F/P detection), and they are resource hogs. You can have two antivirus programs on your machine, but only one needs to be running full time.

I recommend only one and using an online virus scan every once-in-awhile.

Anti-spyware programs are not the same as Anti-virus programs, for those who don't know the difference

 

[johngalt]

Thanks for noting that, Jacee. So many people think that all Anti-Malware programs are interchangeable, when in fact, many have their own niche that they operate in, and thus use of a layered system is always recommended.

A concurrent anti virus and antimalware program is not a bad thing - but two concurrent (and memory resident) anti virus programs is.

 

[TheIgster]

I recommend only one and using an online virus scan every once-in-awhile.

Or you can use one anti virus app and something like ThreatFire, which is what I'm running right now along side ESET ESS, and they work very well together with no issues.

 

[johngalt]

Which only reiterates my point....

i still prefer nod32 with mbam.

How is SuperAntiSpyware at removal? I usually recommend Malwarebytes because it has never failed me when it tries to remove the junk it finds.

Coincidentally, my mom just emailed me in a panic. A bunch of pop-ups came up claiming "You are infected!" They look like MS warning boxes, with the shield and all. One of them even imitates your "My Computer" box, listing all of your drives, but with flashing red numbers next to everything showing the supposed infections in each. Typical rogueware scam. It tries to send you to antivirusonlinescan.com to get your system cleaned... for a price, I am sure.

Nothing on Google about it, so it may be a new one. (Searched for the name and the exe it wanted her to open... "Antivirus-fc289c-2006-71.exe")

She didn't open the exe, and emailed me about it before she clicked on anything! I'm so proud of her! All of those times I told her what to do in these cases... and she did it!

Parents... some times they listen to you, even when you think they won't!

Superantispyware is a great product. When i was cleaning my system, i ran malwarebytes and i thought it removed everything. After that, when i ran superantispyware, it detected more 12-15 harmful items. So i guess a combination of mbam and SAS is recommended.
However, don't trust Windows Defender if your pc is heavily infected.

Hope this answers your question.

Yes, indeed. I recommend BOTH MBAM and SAS (SuperANTISpyWare)
Please see this link, I cant even ACESS antivirusonlinescan.com.
COMODO SecureDNS FTW!

Yep, it did. Thanks!

Edit: Sorry it took so long to reply. I didn't get an email notification until 10 minutes ago. For some reason, my thread subscription email notifications sometimes default back to "daily" from "instant". Is this a Seven Forums bug, or is it on my end?

Yup I also do the same, I use MSE Only and once a Month I use Kaspersky Online Scanner to check my System.

Any Good Online Scanners that you may recomend ?
