that virus ad got my computer yesterday but my mom told me all this stuff about viruses and junk and my uncle is also a person who created the shoulde blade replacment thing some of u should no him if u googled him or met him b4 (not saying his name n im getting off track....) n he also told me about rogue horse stuff n wat not so ya
Next you would need to pretty much free yourself from the viral proxy, after you find and destroy the program. If you don't, it'll come back. Now, to do this you need to go to your internet options, go to connections, go to lan settings and uncheck the proxy box. Then (with your internet unplugged) you must go to your non-IE browser and clear the proxy settings. The viral port is 5555, block that port always (as a matter of fact, always check the proxy after you get any virus).
As soon as I knew what was happening, I turned my connection off so it couldn't download any trojan with it, rather I had norton (which I used as an firewall rather than an antivirus) to block it from going on the internet. The viral installer is op[1].exe. If you get a message about it connecting to the internet, block that and the program that follows. It'll make it easier, since it'd just be the sysguard program itself installing and it won't have a chance to download the virus.
Recently, I was actually hit by a rather nasty rouge. It was called Antivirus System Pro. It did things like prevented you from opening any app, saying they were infected, put you under a viral proxy and more. I actually had to remove it manually. It would be hidden in the Application Data folder with random characters (as a hidden folder) and the file would be (any random four characters)sysguard.exe
@KnightoftheColossus I use Web of Trust, an internet ad-on that will pretty much block these (provided they're rated as poor or very poor) and I love it. Now the only ones that get through are unrated ones, which I rate after I see them.
Thanks a bunch for the video. I've actually had such encounters with virus's on my older PCs. Though, nowadays they can just pop up and force you into that whole fake scanning thing. I remember a few months ago the fake virus scanners appear on wikia pages (like anime and game wikias). I'd suggest grabbing the URL and leave the site ASAP, add the link to your block list, update your anti virus if you haven't, disconnect your internet and scan (so it doesn't drop more virus's). All in all, thanks
FTR, I haven't fallen for their tricks. They aren't believable enough for me to fall for them. I did, however, scan my comp and found a piece of adware on it, which was removed via Windows Defender.
Yeah, I haven't either. Afterall, it's forcing you to scan. In my earlier PCs there was no warning, so I couldn't avoid it. Also, yeah, I do believe it is adware that links you to those "scanners" All in all, thanks again for making a video warning people of these things. It's fooled alot of people I know
You're welcome. The one screen shown here is the one I got that day. I now have my own screen capped image of it with the word FAIL! written on it diagonally.
OMG that happened to me when i was on facebook and that exact thing popped up and i was freaking out and i started pressing all those things. but thankfully my dad knew what he was doing and got it off. this is a really good warning video :)
Thank you :) The creators of this stuff can't make a realistic one of these for spit!
The message I got before the "scan page" said "Message from Webpage" at the top and a new thing I discovered is that when it's "scanning" the file, it says "c:\" instead of "C:\" as it's correctly written.
There's a pic on Google Images with someone using a Mac where it says "To prevent your PC from crash" and something else but I can't recall. There is so much fail in these that they're practically a joke.
whoever falls for this is a dipshat

@Mii2626 Unfortunately many do and that's why these rogues are so popular.
