System Tool Virus
Comments
-
I got this virus at the weekend. At the time I had a couple of pages open including thetraineline and the bandbdirectory. I did a system restore to a couple of days before I was infected. Following several websites advice I checked my registry files and couldn't find any system tools registry keys there. I downloaded Malwarebytes, and although it found a trojan it didn't appear to be the system tools virus. I'm hoping that I haven't got the virus still lurking around somewhere....my computer seems to be running ok though.

I was just browsing ebay as normal and clicked to open one of the normal ebay listings then the system tool warnings came up, then I made the mistake of clicking the cross to close it! I never click on adverts to open. So this is why this scares me as it could happen again. and without the help of this website and kind people on here I would still be looking at the same screen. AliEnRIK asked me to post my combofix log but the settings on website won't let me post it due to being a new poster, any ideas how to get it to show on here?
thanks julie0 -
^^ you should be able to just copy (from the notepad file) and paste it into your post......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple
