From: antioch on 26 May 2010 20:11 Whilst having problems with a series of BSODs over the last couple of days, I had a look in system restore with the mad thought in mind that at some point it could help but mainly with the intention to check to see if I can restore at any point during the 100 Software Distribution Service 3 entries since Feb 24 2010. Going back through all points, I was surprised that there were only 4 check points and to my horror I saw that PC Defender had been installed on March 24. If this is that rogue one that has been of interest for a while, then I could find no trace in my system - probably too well hidden - but I have done countless scans with MS Security Essentials, MBAM,SAS and a couple of on-liners a couple of times since then. But I have read that it is a sod to find and remove. I cannot think what else it could be - apart from updates, nothing else has been installed on the computer and I certainly have had no pop-ups with any virus warnings. MBAM/SAS have removed some minor stuff on the odd occasion. Reading recent probs with this SDS, I am aware that some have had problems doing a SR prior to one of these entries. My laptop has about 20 SDS enties and twice as many check points over the same period. Providing I can keep my computer stable, I was wondering if it worth trying a system restore to a point just prior to this suspect rogue install or best left to just drop out in time. Rgds Antioch |
