I don't know if this is the right place to mention this, but I have been
going nuts because of a virus that "redirects" my web wandering away from
the Microsoft software update website to Google Search or some other url
to take me shopping and it wouldn't allow me to go to anti virus or
security pages. I know it sounds unreal, but these bugs are designed now
to evolve and to practically think for themselves.
I was able to find a virus geek website and got the key to the problem.
The bug's name is msqpdxserv.sys and the website for information on
killing it is at:
http://www.myantispyware.com/2009/01...servsys-trojan
-w32tidserv/
I found the virus on my pc at:
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\msqpdxxviytpxr.sys and it's a hidden file. I
was able to view it there with GMER system application. It's free to
download and did the job when the Microsoft apps couldn't do a thing. But
the thing evolves and clones itself with different names. So soon after I
tested and saw that it was gone, it was back. I hve to back and get all
the cousins it's cloned.
I coudn't find a newsgroup for viruses so I posted here. If anyone could
steer me to a better group, I'd appreciate it. And if you have had
problems with this bug, let me know. Thanks all....
