Viral attack

Alright, yesterday, I don't know why, but my parent opened an email that looks like spam or something and then got my computer affected by this XP Total Security 2011 rogue program.

30 files infected, to remove them please pay. 

Okay, whatever. Anyway, here are the screenshots:

I heard that all the programs that are "infected" are actually important applications. Which means, if you remove them your PC will not work properly.

So if you want to remove this? Please pay $$. This is a rogue program anyway.

P.S: Yep, this is the desktop theme from Dragonforce's Inhuman Rampage album (mine isn't the one with bonus track... D:)


And I had fixed it with System Restore, but then the SR screwed up my  Avira Premium Security Suite, so, I wonder if reinstalling it gonna work.


Lesson here: DON'T, seriously, DON'T open emails that you have no idea how you get it or who sent it to you.


Funny thing is that one email gonna give you like 30 malware, that's a little... IDK?




Yep, blame my parents for making my PC "locked" for 20 to 30 minutes, or more or less, IDK.
Every time you try to open an .exe file, that stupid popup will say it's infected.

So I can't go to the internet because it "locked" it and forced Avira to stop certain programs from accessing the net.


Well done, APSS.



How to NOT get tricked into buying this: 

>Did you download this thing?
>Will an anti-virus software ask you to purchase it just to rid those things?
>Does it look like a legitimate program if you have it downloaded into your PC without your permission?


If YOUR answer is no, please get rid of it with Malwarebytes or something.

How to remove them, well, I use System Restore, but it isn't the best way to do so because it will cause issues to some of your programs, seriously.


Go Google for a better way to rid those things without well, having your program being affected in some ways.


Oh and also, it appears that you can bypass its "security lock" by leaving that crap open and open the browser again.
