Hi Everyone, I have just had my Computer infected with PC Defender Plus. I was infected a couple of years ago with this "ripoff" scam, Malware. Can't remember how I was instructed to remove it. I can't get to boot in safe mode or access the internet. (using my laptop now).

Any advice appreciated. Thanks

 

[Dinesh]

Have you tried any of the anti virus programs listed in OP?

 

[dendingo]

I Can't. The PC Defender Pus stops any progs working. I can't use the F8 key or msconfig to get into safe mode.

Dinesh, Just tried Start CMD and I get the damn PC Defender dialog . It is a really clever and nasty malware!!!

Try Windows Defender Offline

OR a bootable AV disk

Yup I agree with A Guy. If it is not allowing you to install any AV, try a bootable disk and run a full scan.

Thanks Guys,

I run defender Offline (I have it on a CD). Can't update the virus remover as the Internet is blocked. I did have a CD boot disk if not I will see if I can get one from the web site you gave me. By the way I did try to run a virus remover from a USB drive..No go! These are smart rotten parasites. I saw Adobe update for Flash on the Screen I was silly enough to click OK and now I have PC Defender plus irt must have been disguised as an Adobe product. So no luck yet.

I guess a clean reinstall is needed at this time.

Thanks Dinesh, You you are Soooo cheerful! No mate, I will wait and see what Kerpersky boot disk can do and wait for any more suggestions. I have another laptop to use. So with the old motto Nil Bastadio Corborundem.. Anyone from the Bay Area must have a solution!! Great place but those cold mists!!!

Maybe some help here:

Remove PC Defender (Uninstall Guide)

This is one nasty fellow. A clean install is actually your best bet, but you can always go there after trying if necessary. A Guy

My computer is clean and going again. OK what I did (with your help) was this: CNet download Rskill prog (free). Ran RSkill from a USB thumb drive. It did it's job and left a dialogbox --Run your virus checker etc (not verbatim) and I ran MS Security essential and got a clean result. My wife is using the computer now!! I have a text report and a Reg File on the desktop from Rskill...

So thank you both for your help. Have a good day\night in India and the USA....

Suggest you run Malwarebytes as well, I wouldn't give it a clean bill of health just yet I would follow up with the steps in this link:

[dendingo]
