i had a nasty virus on my laptop

sometime today (saturday) i got a nasty virus on my computer. the virus
was Trojan-spy.HTML.visafraud.a and it had an Internet Security 2001
icon that was pixelated on my desktop. it kept giving popups and
warning bubbles in the tray saying i was at risk....blah blah and
"scanned" my pc for virus'. it would also pop up warnings while i was
surfing the net AND it removed my desktop background and replaced it
with a warning. so after much cussing and 3 different anti-malware
software, i got rid of it using Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. it got rid
of it and my laptop runs fine...so far. if anyone gets it, use that and
you should be good to go.

had the same thing happen last weekend to my moms laptop....dont know how it got in but it had that internet security garbage...used Malwarebytes aswell i checked with her n everything seems to be good

i had it too, except it didn't seem to take affect until after i restarted the computer. It then told me that every program on my computer was infected with a virus so I couldn't run anything. Finally figured out that if I ctr alt dlt before it got started running i could stop it. I was able to cut it off before it got up and running then I was able to delete it. Also had the same thing on my mom's comp except i couldn't even get the start bar to load before the virus ran. Had to reinstall xp on that one.
