Hello, i have windows 7. I have this weird virus. A program keeps popping up. I do not know what it is called, bevause it has no name. It pops up, and i what i think is a video of porn is on it. It says "4chan spamming tool available here-" then it gives me a link. The picture of the program is a clover, and i do not know what to do. It is also not in my remove a program option in control panel.

Hello,

It is not that weird, it's a bunch of spamming hooligans who are trying to create havoc on the web to gain notoriety.

Please download and install Spybot Search and Destroy.

https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/4561-spybot-search-destroy/

During the installation process, uncheck "Tea Timer" which is necessary.

Run a scan and delete the items found. After the scan, if 4chan is still there, please download and install Hyjackthis, from the main menu request a scan and save a log. Copy the log and post it here.

Please download the 2.0.3 beta version, thank you

I have several potent poisons brewing to remove that gang from any computer.

Best regards

Hello Scolor,

An error you say! No virus has resisted me so far.

Here is another poison to kill it, it is like a cobra venon.

1. Please download Malwarebyte:

https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/4621-malwarebytes-anti-malware/

2. Once downloaded, just in case, in order to outwit the virus, please rename MBAM-Setup to Explorer.exe.

3. Install Malwarebyte and from the second tab, update it.

4. Close all other applications and turn off your modem.

5. Request a FULL system scan. During the process you may be asked to restart your system, please do so.

6. Report the results as I may have further instructions to ensure the virus does not return.

Regards

If not, there are other solutions.

Hello,

Our community of experts, would really love to have a Hyjackthis log on this virus for it is relatively new and we would like to analyse it. There are at least 30 of us across the world.

Please try renaming Hyjackthis to kioskea.exe.

Or please download and install ZHPdiag which much more detailed:

It will be in French but you can change the language by clicking on the yellow hard hat.

Your cooperation would be most appreciated and we will be able to help you better.

Thank very much

Hello,

Me again!

Did you ever receive any communication, via e-mail or through your surfing encountered the name "Sharecash"?

This would help very much.

Regards
