Free File Viewer Update???? 10 Years, 10 Months ago Karma: 78
So, I got to work this morning and when I turned the computer on, this thing showed up trying to get me to click install for a "Free File Viewer Update 2014". The only options were to "update now" or "remind me later". The little "X" thing was grayed out, so I couldn't X out of it. I shrunk it down, and it's living at the bottom of my screen, winking at me like an evil little troll. My boss "claims" she did'nt do anything or go anywhere on the internet to cause this. I ran Malwarebytes, which did not detect any bad karma buildup in the computer. Does anyone out there know what the heck this is, and how to get rid of it without infecting my computer with nasty viruses or malware? Is there any way it already is infected?

Its been my experience that if it does not let you exit out it is probably already infected, what I would suggest is restart your computer in safemode with networking and attempt the malware scan again. Also run a spyware program such as 'spybot search and destroy.' Some of these infections are immune to the main program, and I believe Malware bytes has shadow versions, I think that's what they're called, they are the same program but they have a differnt way of running that the infection doesn't recognize as a malware program, thus letting them get the infection.

Hope this helps

Yeah, you've got something nasty on your system. If Malwarebytes doesn't get it, get this program; Superantispyware
www.superantispyware.com/
It takes out what most other programs don't anymore. And has gotten plenty nasty off my system. There is a free version, what i run. My experience is though Spybot Search and Destroy is worthless anymore. It picks up nothing. It used to be about the best there was, but now--it no longer does the job it purports to do. Malwarebytes is great and combine it with Superaintspyware and you get everything out there.
