I recently had a run in with the Windows 7 Internet Security 2012 Malware and now I have a red x in my status bar tray, clicking it shows the Action Center saying "The Windows Security Center Service can't be started". After Googling for hours all that I was able to find about this was to press Windows Key + R, type in "services.msc", look for "Security Center" in the list, and set it's Startup Type to "Automatic (Delayed)".

Last night during my usual blackhat grayhat travels I managed to get infected with the Win 7. Internet Security 2012 virus / trojan. Mine in particular came via the consrv.dll rootkit which tends to infest itself via bugs in popular software like Adobe producs and Flash. Nice.

Can anyone tell me what is Akamai Netsession? Is it Malware?

We are excited to announce the official release of SuperAntiSpyware 5 Virus - Malware - Spyware - Adware Cleaner!

This release represents our most significant update in 2 years and we want to thank everyone who helped test along the way.

What’s New in SuperAntiSpyware 5?

I think I have identified it as the Win 7 anti-virus 2011 virus.  It looks like a real anti-virus, but it is a virus in itself.

I have spent all evening trying to get it off.  Any ideas?

Hey whats a good free virus program.. i have full Norton, but it seems to be .. in the last week I've lost my wow account and my facebook. (got both back.. but I must have something that's not being picked up by Norton)

So, I've been checking out a FaceBook "anti-virus scanner" named BitDefender SafeGo for a couple of weeks now, on 2 different FaceBook profiles (our official GeekDrop profile, and my own personal profile), and so far it seems pretty interesting. While it hasn't caught any problems on either of my profiles yet, (not sure I've really had any issues for it to catch) it's been a bit too soon to tell how effective it is, but it seems to have potential.
