Why did IObit not stop this Malware

[Superdave]

You're supposed to type ComboFix /uninstall and then hit enter.

:oops: that was easy :oops:

 

Dave, about the firewall... I have Avast Internet Security. The program shows that the firewall is running. Is that ok?

 

I also have a Laptop (OS Vista 32 bit) and another PC (OS Vista 64 bit). Is there any reason why I should not install the programs you recommended on both? Each computer has Avast Internet Security and IObit Security 360 installed. I have purchased a license for each of the programs.

Yes, it's considered a third-party firewall.

Yes, that would be a good idea.

Go ahead and delete it.

They are probably files from an uninstallation. Create a folder somewhere on your computer and move the files to that folder. If your computer is not affected after about a week, it should be safe to delete them.

Dave, I finished following your recommendations and most of the programs you recommended are installed on my computer. Spybot - Search & Destroy is not installed. In the past that program interfered in a big way with some of my other software and I am not brave enough to try it again.

I allowed a couple of days to see if everything that was installed worked well. It does.

 

Thank you for taking your time to help people like me. Wish I could put into meaningful words the gratitude I feel.

 

Thank you again!

You're welcome. Those were only suggestions. Good luck.

Hi Keta,

 

Will you please run Full Scan of IS360, with database file updated to the latest, so that we can be sure that there is no False Positive warning from IS360 in your PC.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Cheers.
