Malware - and a nasty one to remove Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Fri, 15 Jan 2010 03:42:48 In Reply to: Anyone seen weird site behavior here recently?, ursaw, Thu, 14 Jan 2010 18:27:18 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Search your system for a program called "Elsa". It is Malware that wants you to send them $80 for anti-virus software. Your $80 only buys you one month of hasle free browsing by re-setting an internal clock inside the Malware, then it appears again. Asking for another $80 naturally.
If you do have "Elsa", do an internet search on a clean machine for instructions to remove this program. Not easy to remove, that is its worst trait. Doing nothing will result in the window popping up so often that your machine become completely useless.
You probably were infected by opening an e-mail from a friend whose machine is infected. Nice, Huh.
