That Malware Catcher 2009 itself is a Malware, Don’t click protect or scan on that. You system probably don’t have any malwares except this Malware Catcher 2009. To remove this, Download and install Malwarebytes from;

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware - Reviews and free Malwarebytes Anti-Malware downloads at Download.com

Perform a Quick Scan, will only takes 1-2 mins, when the scan finishes, press show results, Select all and Press remove selected. A system reboot may be needed to finish.

After the reboot, download Hijackthis from:

TrendSecure | Download TrendMicro HijackThis

Do a system scan, and copy/paste the log file here.

The Anti Virus Software came with your laptop will be a 60 days trial, Try to get a full version of it (you have to pay for that) or else get a free anti virus like Avira Personal from:

Avira AntiVir Personal - Free Antivirus - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com

P.S: Remove your existing Anti Virus Software before installing the new one.

P.P.S: If you are going to pay for anti virus, then get Eset Nod32 Anti virus 4

from: ESET - Antivirus Software with Spyware and Malware Protection

Re: virus help :frowning:

goto here

get free avg

AVG Free - Download Free Antivirus and Antispyware for Windows XP and Vista

and install it
it should find and remove stuff if u r lucky enuff :stuck_out_tongue:

I think Rayan gave you great advice BH.

I would also add one other software,

Ad-Aware by Lavasoft.

This found and removed some viruses that AVG couldn't. I have both AVG and Lavasoft and I supplement them both with constant updates and frequent online virus scanners from Kasperskys Lab.

Re: virus help :(

^ i think u didnt read ma post .... after Rayan's suggestion.......

i tried his way.......and i am stuck in the middle......... dont know wat am i doing

Re: virus help :(

Download AVG and Lava soft and try running them both and see what they catch. Then let us know where you are.

Re: virus help :frowning:

where can i download Lava soft :hmmm:

Re: virus help :frowning:

Here is a link that shows step by step how to delete this stuff. Hope it helps:

Remove Malware Catcher 2009, Removal Instructions

This is a link for Lavasoft

Get Ad-Aware Plus for Free with Lavasoft and TrialPay - Lavasoft

This is free so you are responsible for ensuring that it is updated regularly. the plus version does that for you.

Try the malware removal tool first and after that try lavasoft. I just remembered that I had a similar virus to yours and this removed it.

Re: virus help :frowning:

i dont know how this got into ma laptop… i only visit selected sites :smack:

stupid ppl who make these virus :mad: I hate them

Dont worry..its not you. We all have this problem. You can download a song or a picture from a friend and not realize that it has a virus.

Just arm yourself with good anti virus programs and keep scanning regularly.

Re: virus help :frowning:

thanks everyone for helping me out…

Re: virus help :(

^^ I will recommend to format the HD and install everything from scratch.

even though the problem is solved and that virus is removed ????
