Anitivirus 360 Virus
 

My daughter has been doing some on line college stuff, and has been hit with this virus alot. Just passing the news, its a bugger to get out.

Antivirus 360 is a rogue anti-spyware program that uses false scan results and aggressive advertising in order to promote itself. This rogue is advertised by the Vundo Trojan and is replacing the Antivirus 2009 rogue program that Vundo has been aggressively advertising. If you are infected with the Vundo Trojan you will see a large amount of pop-ups stating that your computer is infected and that you should install Antivirus 360 in order to protect yourself. If you click on the ad, Antivirus 360 will be downloaded to your computer and you will be prompted to install it.

Once installed, Antivirus 360 will be configured to start automatically when you start Windows. Once started, the program will perform a scan, and when done, will list a variety of legitimate or nonexistent files as infections that cannot be removed unless you first purchase the program. What is so dangerous about these scan results is that the files that Antivirus 360 states are infections are actually legitimate Microsoft files, that if deleted, will cause Windows to become unusable. Therefore, if someone believes the results from this program they may manually delete the files thinking they are infections and cause their computer to no longer function. Some files that it states are infections are:

C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe
C:\Windows\System32\alg.exe

While running you will also see a constant barrage of false security alerts stating that your computer has a variety of security risks. These risks range from files being modified to private data being sent to a remote host. These alerts, though, are false and are only being shown to further scare you into thinking your infected, when in fact the Antivirus 360 program is the actual infection. Unfortunately, these alerts coupled with the Vundo Trojan will affect your computer's performance and you will notice that it begins to operate slower.

I just finished cleaning this off a friends computer the other day. Was a serious pain in the fucking ass. I don't know how she got it, but FUCK. It's an aggravating one alright. It literally had her cooling fans screaming. Every time I thought it was cleaned there was more shit to deal with. Finally I just backe dup her shit and formatted/reinstalled...

If I remember, I rebooted in safe mode.
Ran spybot search and destroy
Ran Malware bytes

That cleaned out my system.
