I have a virus on my computer that is not picked up by MalwareBytes and it will send me fake pop-ups from windows informing me that I have viruses (thats obvious). It will also bring up IE on random always directing me to porn sites such as porn(.com) viagra(.com) adult(.com) ect. I disconnected my WiFi (virus infecting laptop) so I can't be taken to the pages but it still tries. I also have a new icon on my toolbar called AV Security Suite. I can't download Registry Quick because It dissapears right at the installation screen. Please help.
AV Security Suite is one nasty infection. First thing, please disable Javascript in Firefox/Internet Explorer (or both). In Firefox go to Tools > Options > Content > and click to disable Javascript. In Internet Explorer go to Tools > Internet Options > Security > Custom Level, and disable the Scripting option. Then, try running TDSS Killer found here: http://support.kaspersky.com/viruse... If that doesn't work, you can also try resetting your router to factory settings but set the password to a non default password, I would also case said password (I.E. doing something like wreo56*# ), another option is to change your DNS settings, you can do this by following this tutorial here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/...
For preferred DNS server type in without the quotes "208.67.222.222", and for alternate DNS server type in "208.67.220.220".

I can't open the TDSS Killer, it says it's infected and It won't open. I can't even open the Control Panel. Everything is "Infected." It just keeps coming back with this Windows Pop-up at the toolbar saying that things are infected. This is horrible.. :(
Try doing it in Safe Mode, and if you can't use any .exe files, try this fix here: http://www.winhelponline.com/articl... (click the blue link that says .exe), I would also try this in safe mode.. Helpful tips before getting started: http://www.computing.net/howtos/sho...
Ran the TDSS Killer on safe mode and it detected nothing. Restarted the computer normally and the virus is still there. .exe files still not working after merging the .exe fixer.
Have you tried resetting your router back to the default settings?.. Which may help with the redirecting. Helpful tips before getting started: http://www.computing.net/howtos/sho...
Tried that, now I can't reconnect my laptop to the internet because the access point is apparently uncompadible to my laptops settings of the access point.
Try instructions given on this pages: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/vir...

Were you able to login to the router using 192.168.1.1 by typing it into the address bar of Internet Explorer?.. Also try going to Start > Run and type in Cmd.exe , then type in the following "Ipconfig /all" without the quotes, and please post what it says, if you don't mind.

Yes. I can.
If you can do that, I would try following "Chapter 3", of this PDF manual for the router to try and get your router up and running again. You can view this with PDFescape (which does need Javascript enabled unforunately) target="_blank">http://www.pdfescape.com/open/ or you can try http://www.pdfdownload.org/online-p... If you have Adobe Reader on your computer, use that instead, Helpful tips before getting started: http://www.computing.net/howtos/sho...</
Thanks much, I fixed the internet problem. I ran a system restore
and the virus is not there, scanned with MalwareBytes and
couldn't find any problems. I think it's all okay now. Thank you!!
You're welcome!. Glad you could get your router working again!. Helpful tips before getting started: http://www.computing.net/howtos/sho...
