Yeah, the Mopar guy! I'm familiar with the Worm in the bottle, but this worm is a distructive pest! My ability to access the net and mail was shut down. These things are bad news so stay away, or if you're a tough guy Have at it!!

My McAfee removed a near impossible to deal with virus. It's the Antivirus 2010, it shows up on your taskbar like it's waiting for updates. That activates it, McAfee cleaned it right out. Never got any problems from the photo bucket, although the computer has been a little slower than usual. Could be me...I know I slow down at times.

This is'nt a job that Spybot or any of the standard anti virus programs can handle. It hides DEEP! My computer is at the Doctor he sez I'll get it back by Friday. Never trust a Mopar or FoMoCo ! LOL

I finally beat it. Used avira antivirus, its a boot disk antivirus so windows doesnt load and the bug doesnt have the ability to fight back. On my comp the virus wouldnt let regular spyware removers be installed or run so this program is an end run around that. seems to have done the trick. I hope the guy who put that link up gets herpes

Is that the security 2010 virus? if so I had it............. It's nasty and very disruptive . it wont let any of your security programs run and you have to get around it to defeat it. I got my help from online. the tech takes over your computer and does his thing. you sit back and watch as the tech runs all his virus programs and instals the needed spyware and programs to help your computers defenses. this virus was so strong that when my comp was offline and on my desktop,the audio from a **** movie would sound for about a minute then stop

if it wasn't secutity 2010.......................nevermind

One way around it is to change the name of your anti virus program. It would only look for certain names to stop them.

Went through that yesterday, I had to use Firefox to search for the fix and when I found out what it was I had to go in and delete the files manually.
