There is a very bad Trojan out there comes in your E-Mail please do nto open it what ever you do.

I just fixed a PC with it and it takes over the whole pc you can not do anything at all.

I had to log into Safe Mode go look for the program called Total Security it puts it in.
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users Applications
I was able to go to the registry found it there deleted it and then ran Malware found 7 Trojans and 2 were from this Total Security.

I could not believe all of this is worse then the one that was out there before this one called 2009 Antivirus that took right over but you had part o the use of your machine.

So please if you see anything like this do not open it at all.

Thank you all in advance for reading

Its extremely crucial to know/learn that both Total Security and 2009 Antivirus or as its also called Antivirus 2009 are nothing else then pure Scam softwares/freewares and is created directly by people that want to spread malicious codes ( viruses/trojans etc ). Have any of those proggies on your pc and your simply screwed Big time. Play it safe and simply reinstall the whole system and Do Not use/test any unknown proggies that can not be found on any major genuine shareware sites. Also a simple google reveals many times the information needed.

Thank you Cuddles :)

PS

BEWARE OF EXE IMAGE FILES!!!

You want to download an image or a wallpaper and instead of beying you're normal .jpg, .bmp, .png formats they are .exe once you open them they plant rootkits and keyloggers in you're system.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this I never saw something like this just the Anti Virus 2009.

This one just takes over the whole machine not like 2009 it puts a huge poster right on your desktop and locks you right out terrible not sure who thinks these up but it is cruel for sure.

The almost 3 hours to get this Total Security out was unreal glad it worked for me in safe mode for sure or it would mean to re-install the whole operating system.

Never open, Never trust.


Even if its from a buddie, they may not know it or their Email had been hacked. Never open.

Be aware of senders!

Anyone can spoof an email, not that hard..
