Question by Win_se7enZ: use 1 real antivirus and 2 security.. is good?
use AVG IS 2011, combine with MBAM 1.5 pro (biut, i disabled protect real time) and i use threatfire too.. is a good combination??

Answer by steven25t

disable real-time protection is bad idea. MBAM is not an A/V, it’s anti-malware protection,however AVG 2011 had improved comparing to 2010.
restore Real-time protection, perform updates for AVG either automatically or manually, and do updates for Windows and you’ll be okay.

Question by K!: Virus? Sass virus? logon.exe error? help?
Alright, so i think my computer has a virus. Ive been trying to figure this out all day. When I first start up my computer/log on, i get a message that says, “Windows cannot find logon.exe, blahblahhblah..”
and occasionally I get a message that says the following:
“System Shutdown

This system is shutting down. Please save all work in progress
and log off. Any unsaved changes will be lost. This shutdown
was initiated by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

Time before shutdown: 0:59 ”

and then my computer restarts. when i open up internet explorer, it appears as if my homepage (google) is loading.. except that it never.. stops.. loading. but i can stll go to other websites and stuff.
now i’ve been doing my research and i kept seeing that this problem had something to do with the Sass virus. (and the lsass.exe folder in C:/windows/system32)

So i did a scan with my antivirus software (which is very good, top of the line, by the way) and it found nothing. i did a scan with the scanner off the microsoft website also, which took about 5 hours, it also found nothing. i also did a registry clean up. NOTHING. no viruses or problems found.

Question by Daniel Henning: Internet problems. =/?
When i Google something it comes up fine but when i click on the link it directs me to these weird pages I have to try about 10 times for it to work. What the bliff is up with that?? Also I recently got this antivirus 2011 which was a scam but i got rid of it with Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware.. =P

Answer by panthrosbulge
Sounds like your computer is still infected. Install Microsoft Security Essentials from Microsofts site . Reboot Windows into safe mode (hit F8 before the Windows logo comes up) and run a scan. Also, update Malwarebytes and run that scan while in safe mode as well.

If it is still having problems, it may take some deeper investigation. Another thing you can do is go to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc. There is a hosts.ini file there. Make sure there are no entries at the bottom.
