Download the Avira rescue cd, create a cd. It boots up standalone and
does a great job on tough trojans. It is free and Avira deserves much
credit for providing it. You should download the latest version now and
again.

Hi people,
I have a client with an infected box. It seems to have the
"SafeFighter" trojan. Vipre says that it blocked the installation of it
but it has pop-ups wanting you to register the SafeFighter product to
clean it out. It also puts up a false "Microsoft Security Center"
window telling you that your firewall is ON and your virus protection
is OFF or non-existent. When viewing the 'real' Security Center you
find that Vipre is listed and running and the firewall is off as the
settings dictate as the unit is behind a network firewall. And when you
visit Vipre it is scanning with no items listed,n and it has two items
in the blocked area but nothing in the Quarantine or any where else.
These pop-ups come every few minutes. I would like to stop the pop-ups
long enough to back up data and flatten the box and install Win7 in a
couple of weeks when Win7 is released.
Does anyone have a manual method of removing this rascal?
Everything I've found on the web is wanting you to buy their product to
do it. I may have to call Sunbelt to get their method? But Vipre says
that it blocked it but something is still running. Maybe I'll just
reboot and see if it is only in memory and the pop-ups go away.
Anyone with thoughts for temp help. I know that a rebuild is the
only sure way to cleanliness - just not today.
