2 laptops - 2 viruses!!

socrates

As the title says- both of my two sons laptops have a virus on them.

Trojan keylogger and tries to get them to download a fake anti virus - Vista Total Security Unregistred Version (thats the exact spelling)

Rogue malware detected in your system. Data leaks and system damage are possible.Click here for a free security scan and spyware.

What do I do next?

From a clean computer, make Avira or Dr Web recovery CDs, and reboot the infected computers with the CDs and leave them to scan overnight:

Or follow this:

Just don't infect your own computer. Turn off USB Autoruns, stick on Prevx with Heuristics at their highest.

https://www.ubuntu.com and get the 10.04LTS version.

Install Linux on them and no more worrying about this aggro.

I would just press Ctrl and whilst still holding it down, press W and then get on with my life.

buy some decent antivirus as well as install proper anti malware would kill all of this.
for the antivirus i would get kaspersky ideal for someone who dont know what they are upto this version comes with 3 user version so 2 lappys and maybe yours http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/software/security/kaspersky/kl1837ubcfs.html

also install malwarebytes the free version but you have to update the definitions before scanning get from http://filehippo.com/search?q=malwarebytes
