Psecurity.exe - beware!
I'm currently removing a virus from my father's PC named Psecurity. will update you if successfully removed! but as of now, I will just temporarily wave goodbye!
- I could have posted this blog entry above earlier but my computer system just totally crashed.
I was in my Hydraulics class when my sister texted me that she couldn't properly use my father's laptop because its antivirus system had been contionuously madly alerting the desktop and it could not be stopped. My sister is just ten and she understandably doesn't have any knowledge about PC aside from facebook and farmville. :p So right after my class, I went home immediately, after landing our sala, I removed my shoes, threw my whiffy socks away, removed my pants and polo, set myself ready with my green boxer shorts and finally got three polvorons from the fridge. So there, all set.
I opened my father's laptop near our neighbor's wifi so I could connect to the interenet. When the desktop had started, the antivirus system poped-out and it said something like "THE ANTIVIRUS IS OFF, YOU NEED TO PURCHASE LICENSE BLA BLA" . After I read its threatening lines, I already thought that the pop-out thing was a virus that tries to disable your real anti virus system and will eventually force you to purchase their updates and all that.
THE VIRUS:
THE VIRUS:
At first, I was not so bothered because I thought it could be easily terminated using the task manager, ends its process and presto.. I tried so, but unfortunately, I could not open the task manager! then I found out that my desktop was disabled too, as well as the system registry and I was not even allowed to open nor install any program that could terminate the virus. This got me really really worried. What left working was the Internet Explorer (thanks to the neighbor's wifi), I automatically got connected to the interenet. I then googled how to remove the virus, so bad, almost all results led me to installing an antispyware and worse, they would instruct you to open the task manager and end the virus processor..nah! all of these were not allowed by that clever virus.
My last resort was to restart the laptop. I restarted it..and I really don't know where and how I've gotten the idea of running the task manager knowing that It was disabled. I ran the TASK MANAGER and unexpectedly, it ran! It ran before the VIRUS had loaded. So I immediately end the VIRUS PROCESS and finally it stopped from destroying the system... I cleaned all of its dirt and remains, the folders, system registry files, hidden files and etc., thanks GOD i got it fixed before getting caught by the owner, my DAD! :))
