    The reason they allow you to carry out a free scan is for you to get a feel for how simple their products are to use. The hope is that you then go on to buy the full product.

    The virus slipped into my system along with a torrent file I downloaded, but it didn’t hold for longer than 5 minutes for Nod32 kept it from bringing in its malicious friends.
    I killed all it’s processes simply with the task messenger (I believe those where Antivirus 2008.exe, Bravius.exe and a few more). Then I used a program called Autoruns to remove all its files from Windows Startup and some other places. To prevent it from reviving I turned off System Restore and emptied it.
    That did the job.

    All yesterday, it was sitting on my desktop and it had three other copies. I deleted two of them and opened the last one! Stupid me, but I didn’t know what it was and I wanted to find out. Soon after I found out I tried to restore my system, but somehow all of the previous system checks were deleted and I couldn’t restore my system…

    I then tried to remove it from my system, but an error came up! I’m so upset because school is about to start and I have a virus on my computer! Most of my classes this year involve my computer….

    I’m in safe-mode right now and it sucks because I can’t play my music…I don’t know what to do!

    When i try to unregister shlwapi.dll or wininet.dll, it is showing that dllunregisterserver entry point is not found.

    Just perform a system restore and it should solve the problem. Assuming you know when you contracted the virus. Had this problem on my parents pc…the restore took care of it.

    I tried to get rid of the antivirus and followed the steps (manually) and I got “register server entry point not found” Then I tried to download automatic removal and the antivirus pop up box states that there’s a virus attacking my PC from the program Im trying to download! HELP! This thing is driving me nuts!

    Okay I’ve got Antivirus System Pro on my computer, and it has blocked me from using anything. It says I must activate antivirus software whenever I try to open the task manager, do a system restore and it halts me from downloading any removal tools. I have McAfee and the on demand scan found nothing.

    Sorry I should have mentioned that when I stopped this process and restarted all visible signs of Antivirus system pro were gone it is still there hopefully not tracking too much of my info, but it doesn’t have the popups and crap.
