Time to Get Rid of ave.exe

Ave.exe file seems to have made big trouble for many computer users. With a long list of roguewares (take a look at the full list), it kept spreading all over the web for the last month.
At least, I hope that you weren't in trouble because of this threat. However, it's unlikely that your computer wasn't affected by it. Several of my friends are in danger and can't still get rid of ave.exe.
In case you are not familiar with it, ave.exe is the ancestor of av.exe. The similarity is really great.
Just be sure your antivirus software is updated and you visit safe websites.
Have a good day!

Windows Guardian 2010 Broke into Tom's Laptop

Don't you think so? A new day brings new challenge. In this case, it is a rogueware called Windows Guardian 2010. Who could have though that the hackers are going to expand their forces and start creating more and more of these fake software. All people want to earn money, but not all of them do that in an honest way.
I just dream that people wouldn't be so much trustful and would be thinking what sites they visit and what thing they are doing on the web.
As most of the kids, Ted is the same. He adores playing all those PC games online. But this time wasn't as successful as he could have expected or wanted it to be. After trying to improve his flash player he installed Windows Guardian 2010 without clicking on any license agreement and now we are having hard times removing all these keys. This guy was right stating that you will have many problems in case you catch this fun infection.
I hope to be abel to fix Ted's PC. Any suggestions?

Dr. Guard is Hunting for More Victims

When it's going to be over at last? Any ideas?
Hi, by the way...
I am just sooo tired of all these rogues and all these crazy people who keep getting caught by these hackers. This time my aunt decided to be an independent woman and install an antivirus application to her new PC which she has bought several weeks ago. I wish she wouldn't have done that. Now I am forced to start the fight with Dr. Guard, which she chose as TRUSTFUL software. Her PC is completely damaged and needs so much help. At least, I hope that I will be able to fix it. Still don't have a clue how to do that.
People, please THINK before trying to be independent, or you will get into seriuos problems.
This video illustrates what that Dr. Guard can do to harm your machine:

Antivirus Soft - Remove it and Never Look Back!

They didn't get what they wanted! Haaa....
Although I have escaped the wave of attacks from Antivirus Soft in the beginning of February, this time it really tried to kick me into my butt. But they weren't really so fortunate.
In the weekend, I got message from an old friend from the school times. It was long time since I have been in contact with Hannah (yeah, like the one from Hannah Montana). She got stuck with her PC in which a rogueware Antivirus Soft seemed to have built a sweet home.
However, I just based my knowledge on pc1news.com site and read all the articles they have on this rogue. Following all the removal instructions, I was finally able to kick Antivirus Soft into the butt. Don't be the one who is kicked. Kick yourself ;)

APcSecure is a Rogue! Beware!

I thought the New Year will be the end of the old threats to your computers. However, I just wished that for 2010. However, these evil hackers do not seem to be on the way to stop their activities. On the contrary, they keep expanding their forces and changing names of the roguewares they create.
These aren't any exceptions as well: APcSecure, PcsSecure, APcSafe, and a huge list of others which I can't even remember because all these titles keep appearing on the web every single day.
All in all, the latest one and a rather popular one, unfortunately, is APcSecure. As other Winisofts, APcSecure has its own website and is promoted through different fake websites.
Don't ever trust it. I almost got this infection several days ago because of my blindness. NOD license has expired and I was just looking for some files on rapidlibrary. Luckily, APcSecure wasn't hiding in the video codec I downloaded from that site.
You'd be more careful. That's my advice.

P.S. if you need more information on APcSecure, follow this link.

APcDefender Attacking!

Have you heard the latest news? At least one of the latest? The Winisoft family, or Winiguard in other words, is ready to become one of the most spread rogueware creator on the web. In case of positive activity, I would be really happy about it but this time it's the worst news of the day. These evil guys will keep spreading their viruses on the web and that will cause more and more troubles to computer users.
Keep in mind that APcDefender is really dangerous. It will make your computer slower, change browser settings, as well as add strange icons to your desktop. Although all this doesn't seem to be really scary, things are more dangerous than you can expect.

Total PC Defender 2010 - A Total Disaster

This time I am going to tell you what other people talk about roguewares, specifically Total PC Defender 2010. Unfortunately, nothing positive can be said about it. But that's no wonder. All rogue applications are designed by evil hackers who try to fool money out of you. If you aren't ready to give your money easily, then don't have anything in common with Total PC Defender 2010.
I have read an article on one blog how an middle aged lady from US somewhere who was given a computer to use got this infection and, of course, believed in the application and spend a part of her pension for the so-called software. Unfortunately, she won't be able to get her money back. Sorry to hear that but that's the way it is.
Don't be the next victim of Total PC Defender 2010. If your computer is already infected, remove the rogueware following the instructions from this site.

Don't Erase All the Info from your PC with SpyEraser

Happy New Year first of all!:)
How was your celebration? Did you have a great time?
It seems that with the New Year, new hackers have started their attacks. This time they created SpyEraser which will erase all the necessary information from your PCs rather than fix it.
On PC forums, I read that some people have been fighting this virus for several days and still were unable to remove it. Maybe we could help them by sharing our own experience with fighting SpyEraser in particular, as well as other roguewares.
I can start that I visit xp-vista.com site for removal instructions. They seem to have tracked this rogueware as well. Here is the link. We just have to wait for the removal instructions here.
Has anyone else more information on SpyEraser? You are welcome to share!
