You can let AdwCleaner remove ByteFence.exe

Wondershare doesn't have the best rep but I don't think it's that bad.

 

Let's run Rogue Killer

 

http://www.adlice.co...iller/#download

 

Portable 32 bits <==Use this one

 

Download and Save.

 

 

 

Right click on the downloaded file (RogueKillerX64.exe or RogueKiller.exe)  and Run As admin

 

Start Scan

Start Scan

 

Will take about 20 minutes to complete.

 

Open Report

Export TXT (save it to your desktop as rk) Save

 

Do not let Rogue Killer remove anything until you hear from me.  Leave Rogue Killer up (but minimized) so you won't have to rescan.

 

Open rk.txt and copy and paste it to your next Reply.

RK didn't find anything.  You can close it.  How is it running now?

[Lathers]

what about the 7 threats that came up what i do about them?

[RKinner]

RK always shows us the DNS addresses.  They aren't really suspicious but if you want to let RK remove them that's OK.  You will just have to reboot to get new DNS addresses from your router through DHCP

[Lathers]

ok thanks for you help

[RKinner]

Is it running normally or is it still slow?

[Lathers]

seems better thanks

[RKinner]

Time to clean up:

 

 

If we installed Speccy it needs to be uninstalled.  Process Explorer, VEW, AdwCleaner, JRT  and their logs and Speccy's log can just be deleted.

 

Also make sure you have the latest versions of any adobe.com products you use like Shockwave, Flash or Acrobat.  Flash is now the most malware targeted program so it must be kept up to date.  Be careful with Adobe.  They are fond of offering optional downloads like yahoo or Ask toolbars or that worthless McAfee Security Scan.  Go slow and uncheck the optional stuff.

 

Whether you use adobe reader, acrobat or fox-it to read pdf files you need to disable Javascript in the program.  There is an exploit out there now that can use it to get on your PC.  For Adobe Reader:  Start, All Programs, Adobe Reader, Edit, Preferences, Click on Javascript in the left column and uncheck Enable Acrobat Javascript.  OK Close program.  It's the same for Foxit reader except you uncheck Enable Javascript Actions. 

 

 

If you use Chrome/Firefox then get the Ublock Origin  Add-on from https://www.ublock.org/.  For IE go to adblockplus.org  and get the add-on.  (It's actually a program for IE)

 

If Chrome/Firefox is slow loading make sure it only has the current Java add-on.  Then download and run Speedy Fox.

http://www.crystalidea.com/speedyfox.  Close Chrome/Firefox/Skpe. Hit Optimize.   You can run it any time that Chrome/Firefox seems slow starting..

 

To prevent a relatively new phishing attack:  In Firefox, type:

 

about:config

 

in the URL box and hit Enter.  You should get a new page of options (if you get a notice about voiding the warranty just cancel the warning).  In the Search box put in 

 

puny

 

You should only get one option:

network.IDN_show_punycode

We want it to say True but by default it is False so double click on it to toggle from False to True.

Close and restart firefox.

 

To test it you can go to:

 

https://www.xn--80ak6aa92e.com/

 

If the value is false you will see https://www.apple.cominstead of the correct value

 

 

If you are a Facebook user get the FB Purity extension for your browser:

http://www.fbpurity.com/

This will stop all of the suggested pages and ads so that Facebook loads much quicker.

 

 

Be warned:  If you use Limewire, utorrent or any of the other P2P programs you will probably be coming back to the Malware Removal forum.  If you must use P2P then submit any files you get to http://virustotal.combeforeyou open them.

 

Due to a recent rise in the number of Crytolocker infections I am now recommending you install:

 

CryptoPrevent

 

http://www.foolishIT.../cryptoprevent/

 

The free version does not update on its own so you should check for updated versions once in a while. When you install it the default is NONE which is kind of worthless so change it to Standard or default. If you have problems after installing CryptoPrevent you can just uninstall it.

 

If you have a router, log on to it today and change the default password!  If using a Wireless router you really should be using encryption on the link.  Use the strongest (newest) encryption method that your router and PC wireless adapter support especially if you own a business.  See http://www.king5.com...0637284.htmlandhttp://www.seattlepi...ted-1344185.php for why encryption is important.  If you don't know how, visit the router maker's website.  They all have detailed step by step instructions or a wizard you can download.

 

Special note on Java.  Old Java versions should be removed after first clearing the Java Cache by following the instructions in:

http://www.java.com/...lugin_cache.xml

Then remove the old versions by going to Control Panel, Programs and Features and Uninstall all Java programs which are not Java Version 7 update 25 or better.  These may call themselves: Java Runtime, Runtime Environment, Runtime, JRE, Java Virtual Machine, Virtual Machine, Java VM, JVM, VM, J2RE, J2SE.  Get the latest version from Java.com.  They will usually attempt to foist some garbage like the Ask toolbar, Yahoo toolbar or McAfee Security Scan on you as part of the download.  Just uncheck the garbage before the download (or install) starts.  If you use a 64-bit browser and want the 64-bit version of Java you need to use it to visit java.com.

Due to multiple security problems with Java we are now recommending that it not be installed unless you absolutely know you need it.  IF that is the case then go to Control Panel, Java, Security and slide it up to the highest level.  OK.

i read that vista isnt suppoting on firefox anymore, is there any browser that is safe?

[Lathers]

not sure if i have a wireless router or pc one. its got all leads in the back and a few go into the back of my pc

do i need to change the password on it?>

[RKinner]

Sounds like your PC is connected to the router with an Ethernet or DSL cable but if it has WiFi capability it needs to be encrypted (or turned off).  You should always change the log in password on a router.  The malware routers know the defautl passwords and have been known to login to the router and reroute your traffic to their servers.

About Browsers for Vista:  Opera or perhaps  Avast Safe Zone.  Believe they are still supported on Vista.
