I just got nailed a few hours ago with some piece of shit that hijacked my computer called Essential Cleaner, another version of that fake virus scanner bullshit where they try to force you into buying a useless piece of software to remove the shit meanwhile stealing your credit card info - shit is getting worse and how many of these assholes ever get caught and sent to jail, probably none - it wouldn't let me run any programs, no msconfig or tskmgr and even blocked me from visiting some well known forums that help getting rid of malware.
rebooted in safe mode and got to bleepingcomputer.com where there was a guide just created for removing this one - which is a very new piece of shit so i expect many will be getting it.
AVG is a piece of shit, it popped up a warning - but i got infected none the less. thanks AVG.
Malwarebytes is great and I've run Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool and now going to install Microsoft Security Essentials.
