scanner. Additionally it has a good reputation as a malware removal tool so
it's a handy addition to your PC toolkit.

Thank you!


How would you compare this with Avast? I've been using Avast for the last 3 years and I am very satisfied, but I will make a switch if this is better.


Great, thanks op.


Got one thanks!


I'm in. Thanks.


Avast is an antivirus program. This is an antimalware program. They will compliment each other and help keep your computer safer.


I downloaded it, thanks for information. Now if only I could figure out how to use it, seems you have to be a computer expert to use this thing.


Thank you OP. Rep to you. I already dl this from slickdeals. I already used the free a-squared program. Now, i can use this. Its a great addition.


thanks op.


good job OP


I downloaded it but it will not take any of my legit email addresses to get username and password. Has anyone else had this problem? It looks like I will not be able to use this program. I wonder if this is not a way to get a person's legit emails without providing program.


Good Job OP - I think....

Is this program any good or better than Spybot??

Anyone have the malware named Vundo? I'd love to get rid of it. For now I'm just blocking it but nothing seems to get rid of it. Thanks.


No, I tried three different gmail accounts for parents, etc. works fine.


Downloaded and did a full scan and found a virus and few spyware.

BTW, I have Kasparesky and it did not detect virus.

Oh well, I don't understand these softwares. Free is better than paid softwares I guess.


Thx OP

Got it no problem. Thanks, OP!


Anyone know if this will work alongside ESET NOD32? I had issues with it conflicting with software in the past. Thanks.

you need to click on the blue hyperlink part that says "create a new account" first, then it asks just for your e-mail address and emails you a password. Then you log in with email/password and type in the coupon code in the OP to get the full license version. You can then change the password to something easier to remember than the one they assigned.


Thanks OP

For those not getting the password email from them after you request a new account:
With my Yahoo account the password email was delayed for over 10 minutes - I suspect Yahoo was holding it back. To get around that I went back to the A2 site and selected the lost password option & the site immediately emailed me the password so I could use the coupon code.


Can we register once and install it on multiple PCs?

Yea that was one of the first things I tried and it had no affect. The guy took the 1st link off too as aparantly his tool was causing damage to people's system files. So far what I have done to slow it down is turn off system restore and installed AVG antivirus. But I can't get rid of it. I'd love whomever can challenge Vundo and win!


mbnva said: f2000sa said: Can we register once and install it on multiple PCs?

Good Question!

Personally, I used an email account per machine and received multiple licenses. My reasoning was that I wanted to be as legit as possible since they were giving them away.

Symptons from a Hijackthis log: Below is an example of a Vundo infection, though there are many different filenames.
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {EFCB1D95-FFF6-47BB-B6C9-61A523F04322} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\vturr.dll
O20 - Winlogon Notify: vturr - C:\WINDOWS\system32\vturr.dll

Here is what I did to remove it.....Find out the name that it is using.....like the example above using Hijackthis. So in that case, it is using vturr.dll.

Search google for the instructions on how to make a Bootable BARTPE CD. Boot from that CD, and use their file explorer tools to get to your harddrive. Just delete the file you found earlier from Hijackthis.

This has worked multiple times for me.....so well in fact, that I actually made a 2gig BARTPE bootable USB Key.....and now I can carry that solution in my pocket.

Not perfect, but worked for me.

When I did this last night, the PW email came instantly. I mean as soon as I hit submit, it was there.

I did a scan on my current PC and found nothing. Whatever I was using must be pretty good (free AVG anti-spyware ..).


for those don't have their own machine handy:

sign up

activate license by coupon

just incase it expires soon,


Thanks OP, got one account as well.

I have seen hijackthis but how can I find out the name it's using?

the dll that is causing you the problem will be in your windows/system32 directory.
how long have you had this virus? if it's recent, which it hopefully is, it will be
easy to find. your antivirus program is probably deleting the ini file but that dll file
keeps putting it back. so tell us the name of those recent files.
The DLL is writing files to both the windows and windows/system32 directories.
in windows, it will be ini, txt, and xml files.

you won't be able to delete that dll because it's running resident so your computer
will tell you that it cant delete it. so you have to use some tool to delete the file
before windows boots. grinder suggested BARTPE. when i had this problem, i used a program
called AVENGER. it worked well.

after you get rid of the dll, you still have a registry entry telling your computer to run
the dll. the dll isnt there though so it cant be run, but still you should get rid of
the registry entry with CCLEANER.

here's a better write up of all this
http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=155318

you have to be careful of course because AVENGER or BARTPE can delete files you need
that windows normally doesnt let you delete.
first look at your windows/system32 directory and tell us what you see.

thanks OP, i installed this and I'm running it now.

it doesnt seem to like 'registry easy'
anyone else have this on their system?
(there was once a post about a free copy of it here)


thanks OP


I got a 30 day trial after registering


Thanks OP! Worked great, a word to the wise, the deep scan will take a looong time but worth it.
