Super User .dsaavedra. Posted April 28, 2010 Super User Posted April 28, 2010 this stuff sucks! i got infected with some ransomware called AP Manager. it was an imposter copyright violation warning, and it would appear when i tried to log in, and wouldn't let me access my desktop. basically it was saying that i violated some copyright s, and there was a lawsuit against me and i could either send the case to court or settle out of court by giving them my credit card information to pay a fine. what a joke : it was a b***h to remove too! had to boot in safe mode and delete some registry files.

b.Lee Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 I know your pain, if you were able to google it, Malwarebytes and Rkill.com are tools to help remove these sorts of things. Rkill.com kills the spyware, and then you are able to work on removing the virus through malwarebytes. It has worked pretty good. I found a patch to allow full access to Malware, and it monitors your system sort of like an anti-virus but for free. It also removes the registry files it infected. Quote

A "patch" that gives you the full program that typically costs money? Quote

Super User Dan: Posted April 28, 2010 Super User Posted April 28, 2010 lol. Sorry to tell you guy, but that's not a "patch" it's a "crack." Quote
Super User Matt Fly Posted April 28, 2010 Super User Posted April 28, 2010 WE had this issue a few weeks ago, my sweetie renamed the files, this allowed her to delete them. Every time she tried, the system booted her until she renamed those files first. Then deleted them. Quote

They probably still live in the basement of their parent's house, and believe they're internet rock stars. ;D ;D Quote

It also removes the registry files it infected. after i deleted the registry files in safe mode, the computer seemed to work fine, then i got online and downloaded malwarebytes (it was recommended by the site that had removal instructions for the ransomware) and did a full system scan. then i got online for a bit while it was running and i was just browsing a page and norton started freaking out so i shut off my computer before anything could get infected. when i turned it back on i was just browsing the page again and norton started blocking a bunch of crap again. i ran a quick scan with malwarebytes and it found and removed 40 infected files! ran a full scan afterwards and let it finish, removed 1 more infected file. computer seems to be in good shape now.

What they do makes them crooks. Deliberately causing havoc on innocent victim's computers and messing with their personal property. There's no excuse for their actions. If they were so "brilliant", they'd already have jobs. Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted April 28, 2010 Super User Posted April 28, 2010 It always seems that malwarebytes is the solution, I wouldn't be surprised if they are creating them in the first place Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted April 28, 2010 Author Super User Posted April 28, 2010 well in my case, i couldn't use malwarebytes (besides the fact that i didn't have it at the time) because i couldn't even access my desktop at all, the fake copyright violation alert would come up after the login screen, and if i tried to close it a new window came up saying it was refusal to comply and asked for my home address, and if i closed that i was back to the fake alert.

b.Lee Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 crack patch hack, whatever I got it for free , and I know most of us do it. At least those who are computer savvy enough. @ Dave - Yeah malwarebytes actively monitors also, let me know if you want the crack. You need the full version to do so. And why you couldn't browse was because you need Rkill to kill the spyware program, then you can run which ever program or browse to download. Quote

b.Lee Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Oh I guess I missed the part about windows not even loading. Well, he solved his problem. It is funny because I did the same thing Dave did when my system was breached, I scrambled for the plug. Quote
