Too late: one should have thinked about it instead of clicking. No antivirus is, as far as i am aware, able to avoid them, since they are linked by http redirection (e.g., you serach something in google, and a windows or link tells you you are infected and should download the thing to repair your system). Getting rid of them is another story, and usually needs manual intervention or a third-party tool in safe mode. I see that the Defense + offers real time malware protection -would this have prevented the “security tool” from installing? Does Comodo have any real life experience with this type of attack? I want to step up the security of both computers.Īlmost every antivirus detects this family of rogues (security tool, antivirus 2009…), but apparently not avast… I did find a site that had the solution on how to get rid of it and it worked but I am looking to prevent this from happening again. I use avast antivirus which has real time protection and that didn’t pick it up even on a boot time scan and “security tool” wouldn’t let me install any program to get rid of it. He doesn’t remember if he opened something or said “yes” to something on a website but it iinstalled itself on his computer and made it virtually useless. His computer had gotten a malware/spyware/virus of “security tool” somehow and unfortunately it was hard to get rid of. My question is about the protection level that the anti maleware portion in Comodo provides. My son has a Windows 7 Professional laptop and I have a XP desktop and I like to use the same programs when I can since I am his “tech support”.
I tried Comodo a couple of years ago and it was a great product but had my computer locked down too much so I switched to a competitor’s product.
