   I have just recently been attacked by this garbage virus. I am getting pop up warnings every minute or so, and it wont let me open task manager to end unwanted processes.

   I also get the lower right corner popping up and telling me that bankerfox.a and nuqel.E is infected in my computer and possibly stealing information. I have since disabled my internet connection, but cant get rid of this demon. I have Norton and thought it would block things like this from even getting to my computer, but it happened and annoys me. Norton Full scan didnt find anything in normal mode and I am currently in safe mode trying another scan.

   At least there are no warnings or popups in safe mode.

   Is there an executable that may be starting these files once the PC is started in normal mode? I cant find or locate them, and running in normal mode is annoying with the popups. Any suggestions. I dont like to delete files manually, but I may have to.

   First of all, bankerfox.a and nuqel.E are not real threats. Those are just names made up by Antivirus Scan fraud to trick people into buying the fake program. So you enable the internet connection.
   I understand that manual removal is risky and it may look quite complicated. If you don’t want to delete files on your own, why don’t you use anti-spyware? The program you’ve mentioned is anti-virus. It is not meant to deal with infections like Antivirus Scan. Antivirus and Antispyware tools work on different infections.

   I recently got attacked, but because I’m using a laptop it only one account was affected when I switched to the guest account it was not there. I thought that deleting my account would stop it, but when i recreated another account it was back again. How can I get rid of it and stop it from reappearing?
