how do you treat W32.Myzor.FK@yf virus?

Question

annoying virus--starts everytime I use browser. Have Zone Alone anti-virus still this virus has creeped in(Mozilla Fire Fox Browser).

Answer 1

you treat it very carefully. .

no, seriously, if you want help, go to the below link :

http://www.techguy.org

sign up (create a username and login), and then click on "forums", and then on the forums page, scroll down to "security", and click on it. . .

then in the security forum, click on "start a new thread" or "create a new thread" or whatever it says (near the top of page), and then post your problem in that thread, and someone will answer back soon in the thread giving you instructions on how to get rid of it

This is completely free and these people are awesome and brilliant at ridding computers of viruses and spyware (I know, I used to be one of them). .

good luck and God bless you.

Answer 2

There is no such "real" virus as Myzor. It is a scam to attempt to get you to purchase a rogue malware removal product. The popup about Myzor is false, phony and fradulant.

But your computer is indeed infected. This infection is called Smitfraud and it will give you phony scam virus warnings( and often redirect you to a site selling a bogus anti virus product), trying to sell you junk such as Pest Trap, Virus Burst, Spyware Quake and other non working anti virus apps.

Information and procedures for removal of Smitfraud are here:

Good luck

Answer 3

There are Trojans that fall into the Smitfraud family. These require the use of a specialized program for removal. Here are two sites that specialize in removing these:
