shanenin Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 this past three days my shop has been hammered by clients who got infected with "antivirus system pro". I have never seen an infection so prevalent. It seems to be infecting people who are very careful on the web. As of now, I have not been having any luck with successfully removing it. Has anyone else seen alot of this infection lately? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I have never seen in the last 4 years a piece of malware be so widespread in such a short period. I would love to know the vector of the infection. Very sophisticated computer users are getting infected. I do not think they are agreeing to any installations. I am just floored by this.

shanenin Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I keep in contact with one of my local competitors, they are the biggest computer repair shop in my town of Rochester, MN. He told me they checked in 31 computers with that same bit of malware yesterday.WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS TO SPREAD SO EASILY? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
