So yeah, while browsing the internet without the usual protection due to some networking issues I was having caused by the AV and firewall, I disabled them and forgot to enable them again after I was done. So I got to browsing the web to some sites which I know I need to have the protection on and low and behold, I got infected with a virus that is popping up with a security warning saying "Application cannot be executed. The file dllhost.exe is infected. Do you want to activate your antivirus software now? options are yes and no. I also have a big blue thing called "Antivirus System Pro" supposedly running an AV scan and finds basically everything is infected and tells me to buy that software to fix it. I am also a window in the system tray saying basically the same thing.
I googled "
antivirus system pro" and found many ways to get rid of it, nevertheless after going through most of them, it's still there. I can get around registry, system files, etc and did what registry edits mentioned in many of the pages but on reboot it comes back up. Can you guys offer some wisdom if you've gone through it and gotten rid of it or know of a sure fireway other than format or a system restore. Somehow, my system restore was turned off. I know I had it on since I've used it before but I guess that's gone now too
I tried it in safe mode as well with no avail. I appreciate your help.
