Removing VCCodec, VirusBurster and pmsnger.exe?

Question

My computer is getting pop-up that I was infected and requires VirusBurster to remove it. I never installed this software. Also, My existing AV detected that VideoCompressionCodec file such as pmsnger.exe is infected. How can I remove those nasty things?

Answer 1

Spyware Doctor and Spybot-Search and Destroy have the VCCodec in their definitions. Ad-Aware SE and Bazooka Spyware Scanner might also help. After the battle ends, use CCleaner to clean up the mess and optimise the registry. Finally, Spyware Blaster is a program that blocks spyware and other malware from entering and infecting the computer. Finally, if you use IE, I recommend that you switch to Firefox as it's more sucure. The change might be hard at first, but once you get the hang of its features, you will enjoy it. All these programs are available at the website listed below in 'sources'
You might have to search a bit for some of the software, but seriously, the website is great and its tips have helped me eliminate problems from my PC quite often.

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.
