Minä noviisi tuon teille pari vinkkiä, jotka voi olla jollekin hyödyksi:
Löysin Major Greek-sivustolta listan ohjelmista, jotka kannattaa poistaa välittömästi lisää/poista sovellutusta käyttäen, jos löydät ne koneeltasi (aiheuttaa ongelmia, sisältänee malwaren).
Tuolta listalta löytyy näköjään sekin ohjelma, joka toi minut näille sivuille apua hakemaan (search settings). Hämmentävää että moni noista on nimellisesti naamioitu virustorjunta/tms hyötyohjemiksi, mutta tuovat mukanaan ongelmia eivätkö vie niitä.
Toinen vinkki: Malwaren ilmestyessä koneelleni, oma virustorjuntani (avast) lakkasi päivittymästä automaattisesti eikä ollut onnistunut skannauksessakaan normaaliin tapaan, mutta en saanut siitä tietoa. Huomasin tämän vasta sattumalta kun tarkistin logeja (Vista): Tietokoneen hallinta -> Tapahtumienvalvonta -> Sovellus- ja palvelulokit -> Antivirus. Se oli täynnä virhe ja varoitus-tapahtumia ("scanning error", "scanning warning", "Function setifaceUpdatePackages has failed" yms). Tämä vaiva ei näkynyt millään lailla ulos päin, eikä antimalware logeissa eikä hijachthis-logiessa. Enkä ollut tajunnut tutkailla antiviruslokeja aikaisemmin. Kannattaa siis käydä tsekkaamassa, että virusohjelma tekee mitä pitää, olen varma että search settings sai ongelmat aikaan :)
Muutenkin Major Greek- sivustolla englantia taitaville monia hyviä ohjeita.
Tässä se lista Uninstall Malware via Add/Remove Programs
Quite often many problem programs can be uninstalled just by going to Control Panel and selecting Add/Remove Programs. Doing this before running cleaning procedures may help to give better more complete cleaning results and could even speed things up. Look for any of the below items in Add/Remove programs and if found select them and uninstall them. Some of these items (and they are flagged with ****)are on the Rogue Tool List.
