Great Stuff TY Repped +5

I have been plagued with a jacker that has resisted every main line product out there. Istart123.com The interesting thing is when I research a solution the top 100 results all go back to the same software that scans for free and charges for a for a fix. Even on you-tube seemingly different tutorial videos all go back to the same software. After trying the software and letting it complete 48 hours I re-ran the scan. The results the first time through showed Istart123 instantly and 1600 other issues. The second time through it showed Istart123 instantly again but ended with only 300 issues. The difference made me suspicious that this was generating the issues as it scanned and did so in a random fashion further making me believe the Istart123 is a product they put out to drive business to the fix they only seem to have. Whether or not this solves my issue I appreciate your motive and effort to help out in an otherwise dicey environment full of potential exploitation by antivirus solution providers. +5 repps regards gydog

Thank you for sharing. Very much appreciated. Rep added

Thanks for sharing this!

I've never had a malware that couldn't be removed with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:

Code:

https://www.malwarebytes.org/

The free version is a scanner that can be run on demand whenever you want, the premium version (and I know I've seen several working serials in various forums) is a scanner and a guard, running always actively protecting the computer, like most antivirus software. It can be installed to complement an already installed antivirus software.

I've had nasty malware that wouldn't ALLOW malwarebytes to even be ran.
Superantispyware is another great option.
although the nastiest require safe mode cleaning or a virus removal boot disc to stay out of windows.

Malwarebyte's answer to malware trying to block their software from running:

Code:

https://www.malwarebytes.org/chameleon/

Since I never had that particular problem before, I can't say if this actually works or not. But Malwarebytes is only one of many options.

However the best bet in many really hard cases is indeed an anti-virus boot disc as mentioned by gruuvmunky.

you can also use sandbox before installing anything on your computer to check whether it has malicious things within it...

Cool info.
