VirusBursters
Has anyone heard of VirusBursters?
A friend has this loaded on his Desktop and it is not in the add/remove programs. I tried system restore since it appeared today; went back each day three days and it stated it could not restore. Any Idea on how to get rid of this? He his PC is a Sony Vaio 1 GHz AMD Athlon with 384 MB of ram running XP home edition. Thank you! |

Have you used this site and their downloads before? I don't want to unwittingly put more nasties on in an attempt to remove the first.

Bleeping computer is a quality site. Not familiar with the other one.

Wouldn't you know it. The other one foud the stuff, but wouldn't remove it unless you bought their software. I went through the registry and deleted the nasties, but they loaded them back after reboot.
Will try the Beeping site next. Will let you know what happens. Thanks |

My friend and I want to thank Statica and Panama Red for their help in removing the dreaded Virus Burster.
The site BleepingComputers.com was great, well explained at describing the removal process. I would recommend them to anyone. I have talked to my friends about this site, it is truly great! Thanks! |
