Be aware that "The Real Truth MVP" is not a Microsoft MVP. He has a very
poor reputation with many well respected people in the security community.

I know that SAVCE and McAfee antivirus do not touch spyware/malware as
noted in my post, but as I said, Trend's Internet Security 2008 software
is supposed to block and/or clean it.

I'll look at your tools.

Thank you!

Antivirus and Malware are two different things. You are quoting
antivirus that does not detect or remove Malware. As far as prevention
then you can try the paid version of MBAM
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php I don't know if it will work on
2009. If you want to just remove it then use my Remove-it software it
will clean both 2008 and 2009. Download it here

Cyberstalking is a crime. If you had one as bad as I did simply ignoring
them is not an option.

Hello!

I just ran into my third new client with "Antivirus 2008" or "Antivirus
2009" rogue malware infection on an XP computer. The first to get hit
had Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition 9.x on it, the second had
McAfee that came with the computer, the third has Dell's Trend Micro
PC-Cillin 2008. All three had the latest antivirus definitions. I can
see the SAVCE system and McAfee getting hit, as neither blocks
malware/spyware, but Trend PC-Cillin Internet Security 2008 is supposed
to block it.

What is its attack vector?

Does anyone know of consumer AV software that actually prevents this
thing from installing?

Thank you!

Gregg Hill
