FireWienie Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Alright, so my friend tried getting Word 2013 for free, but quote unquote, he said he was desperate and wasnt looking at what he was dling. I'll get to the point This is based off the information he gave me There's a blue screen telling him if he wants to remove the virus, call this number. Obviously he isnt gonna call them for help as it's most probably a scam, so he asked me for help. Now the thing is, I need some of your guys help. How exactly can I get rid of the blue screen virus without resetting his entire computer? I know I should go on safe mode, but I dont know what to do after that. Help would be great and I appreciate your guy's time. Quote
Owned Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 I'd recommend going to a local IT store, they have programs that can remove these kind of virusses. No clue how to do it yourself but the above is a guarantee to fix it for a relatively small price. Quote

No clue how to do it yourself but the above is a guarantee to fix it for a relatively small price. I saw a couple of videos and fixing it yourself isn't too hard, but it is somewhat risky. Other than that I'm just trying to find out whether there are other solutions that can be done other than paying as for now I doubt my friend will pay to get it fixed. Quote
bo0m Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 I had some issuesike that, I'm a noob in this field but when something like that happened to me i went contol panel/add-remove programs/components and I would delete anything I didn't know what it is, and it worked for me everytime. Than after I got tired of that I bought antivirus cleaned pc and now I'm fine.. Once again idk is this problem even similair whst I had but nothing cost to try it.. Quote
SiD Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 get an external usb drive. Download Malwarebytes: https://www.malwarebytes.org/dl-confirm/ superantispyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/ Start PC in safemode with networking, connect usb and install those on the infected PC. Run/update programs and then Full scan pc with one, then the other. I'd use SAS first then MWB. Each MWB/SAS are complimentary to one another and will generally catch most nasty bastards. 8 Quote

Krayzie Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Ah good ol Ransomware. Sometimes the only way to get rid of it is to pay, or erase the computer. The ransomware software remover is real hit or miss. Quote

docwarren Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Ah good ol Ransomware. Sometimes the only way to get rid of it is to pay, or erase the computer. The ransomware software remover is real hit or miss. Try Sid's. It's what I do and works every time. However, I have not had a ransomware in 3-4 years and Kraykray might have the only solution to these newfangled ones. 1 Quote

Exactly the same programs I was going to suggest. Also, look for anything running in task manager that shouldn't be there, and clear all cache and cookies with Ccleaner and disk cleanup in admin mode Quote

Krayzie Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 It's possible to remove it with one of the ransomware removers. But the virus adapts just as quickly and sometimes one of the anti virus won't remove it. I got one about two months ago from an audio codec I had download, and tried Malwarebytes, and a couple others, and it would NOT remove the virus. I had to reformat my SDD to get rid of it. Luckily all that was on that was the OS for the most part and everything else.was backed up to my Google Drive. I actually live with someone who is the CIO for aa hot Urgent Care company, and he evrn couldn't get it off. Read the stories all the time where some big company has to pay the ransom because the data that the virus encrypted was important. Most recently the hospital in California. 1 Quote
