Impi Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Hi Tarun I was doing a web search when I received a message from spybot that the registry has changed - ITBARLayout -hex11,00,00,40,00................. Allow or deny. I denied it but it keeps poping up. I did a google search and I suddenly received a warning from Antivirus 2008 that I had virus's on my system. No matter what I did I could not get rid of this. It did a scan and then said if I wanted to remove these viruses I need to register at a fee! This really p...ssd me off as I feel I am being pushed into something I don't want! Do you know anything about ITBARLayout or AntiVirus 2008. It keeps popping onto my screen whithout any prompting from me. How do I get rid of this as I did not install it? Impi Quote
Administrator Tarun Posted May 13, 2008 Administrator Posted May 13, 2008 It sounds like you may have caught some malware. You might want to run through our wiki's PC Maintenance section and scan for any potential threats. Quote
Eldmannen Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 AntiVirus 2008? Sounds like some rouge anti-spyware that pretends its an a legitimate antivirus software, informs you of a "problem" and kindly offers you a "solution" (if you pay). Quote
Administrator Tarun Posted May 13, 2008 Administrator Posted May 13, 2008 Yeah if it's a rogue then RogueRemover should get rid of it. Quote
Impi Posted May 13, 2008 Author Posted May 13, 2008 Yeah if it's a rogue then RogueRemover should get rid of it. Thanks for the advice. I will download PC maintenance and see what it it gives me. Impi Quote
Administrator Tarun Posted May 18, 2008 Administrator Posted May 18, 2008 How is the cleanup process going for you, Impi? Quote
