I've just been hit with a new antispyware called
"MS Removal Tool"[/color] it's so new that the the big companies haven't yet got a fix and it's got past all my antispyware. It flashes up Red warnings that look like genuine MS security warnings that says you have various problems Virues , Trojans etc, if you say yes to check, it then comes up with a page that asks you to pay to fix the problems,
DO NOT PAY ANYTHING It's A SCAM.
If you put "MS Removal Tool Scam" in the search box it will come up with numerous reports and how to fix the problem, as if you try to run any programmes to remove it, it will not let you run them and a warning says can't run as infected and click to fix which everytime takes you to the payment box.
Some people have been lucky and have restarted and gone into safe mode by repeatedly pressing the F8 key while booting, and then they ran their removal programmes from there, which removes it.
But that doesn't always work, I could even get my PC to start in safe mode using this option.
So very reluctantly I went to "Spyhunter" that will run and fix it, the only problem is you have to pay about £32 which is only for 6 months, the alternative was that I took it into my PC repairers which I knew was going to cost me £80+.
So it's up to you, but whatever you do get rid of it quickly as from what I read last night it gets progressively worse, and don't pay for the MS Removal Tool.
