I am having a problem, maybe, I think….
I had a bit of an infestation and managed to clean it all with the arsenal of tools suggested on this site.
I re-ran the Panda Active Scan and it flagged Virtual Bouncer. I cannot find ANY of the registry keys, files, etc. listed in this site as being associated with VB.
SpyBot says I am clean, AdAware says I am clean, a-squared finds nothing. I just don't know whether to worry or not. I am not getting any odd activity with my system, no popups, no slowdowns. I am aware of the fact that VB is a rogue spyware remover and would never willingly download the thing.
Is it possible to get false positives for this? Has anyone here ever heard of this? What might cause it?
Thanks.
It could also be that there is some traces of VB in the tempfiles or even the recycle bin.
Download System Security Suite . Place the zip file into a folder of its own. Extract it to this folder.
Run System Security Suite by clicking the 3S icon in program manager.
Under "items to clear" check mark all. Then click "clear selected items"
This will cause your system to reboot.
It is a good idea to do this once a month or so to get rid of all the junk that accumulates.
Thank you for your suggestions. I will give them a try.
BTW, added the Microsoft Antispy Beta to my arsenal and it finds nothing, either. I am beginning to wonder if there is some legitimate program that uses some registry entry that is fooling the scan.
Odd computer stuff always seems to happen to me, LOL!
