Title: virus
Post by: Brent on 07/25/13 21:08 UTC
Been down a couple days, computer picked up a nasty virus which is called zero access, it makes things very miserable. It is a constant attack on your computer, then shuts down your ability to get rid of it. I think it was brought on by a prompt to update adobe flashplayer, the certificates all check out good and my antivirus did not  pick anything up. Long story short, it can be removed but you need to run a rootkill program first, then run your AV again, then I also ran another AV. At this point I believe Im good, but for 2 days trying to clean this laptop was a PITA.
ALSO Zero Access replicates itself in many files, that is why you need to keep running the Antivirus and malware programs,
