How am I supposed to know that I got Pyro Antispy virus? I got myriad of popups in IE, but nothing said about Pyro Antispy that you guys stated here. Which folders should I check?
I got a fix for pyroantispy. I finally gave up on a 3 yrs old HP and bought a beautiful iMac.
Agree with virusucks. Let’s all switch to Ubuntu Linux.
I searched for msvcr71.dll and it returned a lot of results. Should I deleted them? I need your advice please.
I read it in another thread and someone suggested that to search the last-modified files, then sort it by date, if those files have similar size such as 26k, then they are most likely installed by pyro antispy. Then you can either delete them or move them to another location. Reboot! If it works, then delete the files. Bingo! pryoantispy is gone. Good luck!
