Win32.Netsky.Q@mm how do I remove this?

[holden j caufield]

Most don't even pick up the scan. Except when I run internet explorer I get the popup for this virus from windows defender

I think this might be Trojan.FakeAlert. It appears as a fake windows popup that says you have Netsky.Q. Bitdefender was able to find and delete it for me.

I would try superantispyware, the free version works well as an on demand scanner, just be sure to update it and run a FULL scan.

Malwarebytes is pretty good to (free).

I personally use BitDefender 2009 and its been very good to me (purchased).

Yes, I would recommend a full scan with updated Superantispyware as well.

I have been fighting this Fake Security Alert Center trojan for 5 days ! I finally found the fix at the below website. It has a few steps you have to follow, but it is not very difficult. If an old guy like me can do it, anyone can ! This trojan is a real pain! The worst I have ever seen ! I hope I posted this in the right place and didn't violate any posting rules. If so, please move/delete this. But after all I went through, I felt I had to share this to save other peoples sanity. tnshadows :thumbsup:
