Installed malware antivirus programme

wnb · 13 Oct 2010 at 16:27

Someone how an anitivius has been installed on my work pc without my knowledge, turns out its malware and all its trying to ge me to do is register its software ie pay. I assume if i do then all the problems will go away then magically re-appear when its due for an anual renewal.

I get windows security alerts saying I have trojans and virus every couple of minutes. Explorer and firefox browser gets redirected to their website, its stopping me from using most installed programmes as I get a secuirty alert .exe file is infected. I cant uninstall it as its not listed in remove programmes.

The website is antispyroad I have googled its name and their are a mumber of ppl who are having the same problems as me. Please whatever you do dont visit their website as I would hate for anyone else to get this.

Any ideas?

Time to go home. I have isolated the pc from the network and left it doing a virus scan. I let I emailed ESET and they have emailed me back saying they will help me remove it If I call them.

Thats it untill tomorrow.
