Recently my friend computer got infected by virprotect. Everytime he start his computer, IE will popup to http://www.virprotect.com/?aff=1012. Besides, everytime he start his IE it will load http://www.virprotect.com/?aff=1012 first. He can’t stand the popup and ask me for help to solve the problem.
After install the fake anti spyware program, you will see this balloon notification.
After i go thru his pc, i found that he just installed a new anti spyware program name AntiSpywareShield. I suspect this is a fake anti spyware program that install malware and trojan to your pc. After doing some research from here, i’ve prove that my statement is correct. AntiSpywareSheild is a fake anti spyware program. If you install it, your pc will be infected by trojan and malware.

This tutorial involve third party tools to clean your PC. TechieCorner.com has no relationship with joedanger in anyway. So, use this tool at your own risk!
Joedanger in NO WAY created this tool. He is a lying cheap idiot who claims to create it whereas S!ri was the one to make it.
I don’t usually make ventures online, but it even states (on the homepage of S!ris Tool) that he is in no way connected with this tool.
The French Developer S!ri created this tool and he’s the one who deserves this thanks.
I believe that my computer was infected with malware even CA YAHOO antspyware could not detect anything. I used Vundofix, it scanned and found a lot of .dll need to be removed. After removing them, the Window keeps boosting and reboosting nonstop. I tried to boost my window XP in safe mode but it still keeping reboost nonstop. Please help

Ok I removed the icon succesfully from my taskbar.
However I feel there are still files from the program on my computer.
Here is a site that explains how to remove some of the files that still may pose a threat to your pc.

Hmm it comes up as a security warning and takes me to a vrprotect site.
When I run the program it brings up a black dos prompt.
Then…nothing happens. I’ve tried running it in compatibility mode for 98 and now the program won’t open…
It seems I have a new version of the same problem that was made as a precaution to this file. I got the program through a fake adult site that was claiming to install an activex object required to play a fake video…I couldn’t help myself because the video looked HOT and ….now I suffer for my lack of discipline…I knew it was a troublesome file but I dl’ed it anyways….Can someone please help!?
U da man boyee! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much for this fix. it worked prefectly
