My faughter's laptop seems to have got infected by the above. Kept getting messages claiming all sorts of viruses but unable to just x out of these and not sure what pop-ups were from this Anti Vir and what were genuine windows pop ups.
She was using AVG Free.
I found the following and like a fool I followed the guidelines of starting in safe mode etc but got to a point that says that it has identified the threats but need to pay to get rid of!
www.2-spyware.com/remove-antivir.html
Tried going in on normal mode and running AVG but one by one new tabs were opening at the bottom so I chickened out and shut the system down.
Anyone experienced this? Is it a check-it-into-a-bucket shop to get it removed?
Any help/ thoughts appreciated - I am now wary of googling this as I have no way of knowing if any advice given is genuine or linked to the virus in the first place!!
