I decided to continue my article, in which I talked about how you can manually get rid of a virus without resorting to the help of a specialist or purchasing an antivirus. You can read the article.

First, I still advise you to read the first article; the method described in it does not require a lot of time and special skills. But if nothing worked out for you, no one helped you, then read on. So:

A characteristic sign is that when you enter the site, a page opens that says something like this:

New methods of combating spam and anonymous registrations. Due to the numerous registrations of anonymous profiles, and the active rise in the level of spam mailings, now each profile is subject to mandatory activation. Send SMS and so on. This is a scam.

What to do?

There may be several reasons.

1. C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts - check this document (open with notepad), if there is mention of VKontakte (vkontakte.ru) - delete these lines.
(WARNING: You must be a computer administrator.)

2. If you have the file vkontakte.exe or VK.exe on your hard drive, delete it.
To find these files, click Start->search->files and folders, enter the file names in the search bar.

3. Check your computer for viruses.

In any case, then change the passwords for your mailbox and VKontakte.

VKontakte never requires any activation of user pages. Never install “add-ons” for your site.

Virus Win32.HLLW.AntiDurov

The real epidemic broke out in May.

Machines infected with this new plague begin to send other VKontakte users a link to a seemingly harmless jpeg image located on the attacker’s Internet resource. In fact, the server transmits the executable file “deti.scr” via this link, which, in fact, is a network virus itself.

After launching on the victim’s computer, the worm saves on disk the very image that the careless user was drawn to, and launches the standard application used on the system to view .jpeg files. Having copied itself to a folder on the hard drive of the victim’s computer under the name svc.exe, the alien installs itself on the system as a service “Durov VKontakte Service” and unceremoniously rummages through the boxes in search of a password to access the VKontakte website, and when it finds it, it sends it to the entire list The poor guy's contacts are the above link. The worm carries a dangerous destructive function. On the 25th of every month at 10 a.m. the following message will be displayed on the computer screen (spelling preserved):

Pavel Durov While working with “VKontakte.RU” you never increased your rating and therefore we did not receive any profit from you. For this your computer will be destroyed!
If you contact the police, you will greatly regret it!

At the same time, deleting all files from the C: drive will begin. If the user reads this text long enough and indulges in thoughts about its contents, he risks losing not only all system files, but also his data files - documents, photographs, emails and much more.

What to do

The original recipe is located on the VKontakte website itself, but most likely you do not have access there, so we present it here in full.

To remove the virus you can use a batch file

Save it to disk and run it.
If you are not sure about the results of the script, use the following instructions:

1. Open the console" Services". To do this, follow the following path: " Start" > "Control Panel" > "Administration" > "Services"

2. In the window that opens, find the service " Durov Vkontakte Service", and open the properties window by double-clicking on the line

3. Remember the service name ( AntiDurov) and the path to the executable file (in this example - C:Documents and SettingsalexanderApplication DataVkontakte)

4. Open Task Manager by pressing the keys simultaneously CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, and on the "tab" Processes" find processes with the name svc.exe

5. Complete these processes by highlighting them one by one and pressing the " button End the process". Close Task Manager.

6. Open the command line: to do this in the window " Start" > "Execute..."dial" cmd" and press Enter

7. In the command prompt window, type " sc delete AntiDurov" (the last word must match the service name you remember) and press Enter

8. Going to the console window " Services", make sure the service " Durov Vkontakte Service" is missing (pre-refresh the window contents by clicking F5

9. Open " My computer" and in the address bar enter the path to the executable file from step 3. ( without the name of the svc.exe file itself!) Click Enter.

10. In the window that opens, select and delete the svc.exe file by clicking SHIFT+DELETE

P.S.: if you haven’t found such a service, but it seems to you that the virus is still there, try to find it through the search:

Start> Search> "What do you want to find: files and folders", in the field " Part of the file name..."enter" svc.exe", V " additional parameters"check the first three items (in system folders, in hidden folders, subfolders)
If a file with the same name is not found ( with exactly that name, files like “cisvc”, “svchost” do not count), then most likely there is no virus.
If the file is found, make sure that it is not running any processes (see steps 4 and 5), then delete the file by highlighting it in the search results window and clicking SHIFT+DELETE.

P.S.

Install an antivirus, or use an online antivirus. Follow the link and click Kaspersky Online Scanner

I present to your attention the PC version of the antivirus from the company Cezurity, recommended by the social network VKontakte for detecting potential threats on your computer that negatively affect the operation of this social network.

What is it

In fact, this is not an antivirus, but just a scanner. It does not protect your computer from malicious threats, but finds existing ones and takes certain measures against them.

The scanner allows you to solve problems such as third-party advertising, incorrect operation of certain VKontakte functions (music does not play, photos do not load, intrusive pop-up windows appear, etc.). The authors guarantee the detection of all threats, such as spyware, programs that make your computer part of a botnet, send spam, steal passwords and other data.

The scanner detects all types of malware, including viruses, trojans, spyware, malicious browser extensions, rootkits, bootkits, and potentially dangerous software.

But the most important task of the scanner is to search for threats that are not detected by other antivirus programs, primarily typical for social networks (for example, browser extensions).

This is only a small part of the description of this antivirus product. You can find a more detailed description of the program on the VKontakte social network website: vk.com/pages?oid=-38890254&p=Help.

How to install

To install an antivirus, you will need to have one of these operating systems from Microsoft: Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2012, Windows 2008, Windows 2003, as well as an Internet connection and administrator rights in the system.

Installing an antivirus is very simple. Download the file from the link below the description to your computer and run it.

How to work with it

First, a quick note: when viruses are detected during scanning, the type of threat will be displayed. Some of them may not be malicious, but only suspicious and harmless. Therefore, first familiarize yourself with the types of threats before starting a scan, so as not to remove anything important for the operation of programs installed on your computer. The list of threats can be found on this page: vk.com/pages?oid=-38890254&p=Help.

When you launch the antivirus for the first time, a message will be displayed stating that the scan has not yet been carried out. Fortunately, the program includes both quick and full scans.

Additional settings:

The following additional settings are available in the antivirus:

• automatic check timer;
• perform scanning in the background;
• setting the action for finding a virus (ask or act automatically);
• look for potentially dangerous software;
• detect complex threats and bootkits;
• participation in the Cezurity Cloud program (sending data about the program’s operation to their server);
• selection of interface language;
• displaying information messages (windows indicating the completion of a scan or a threat detection);
• using a proxy server;
• exclusion from analysis of objects selected manually.

Errors

If, after using the antivirus, you notice that the browser does not open a single page, citing a proxy server error, or if the Internet does not connect, displaying a notification about an error connecting to the provider, then in the first case, disable the use of the proxy in the browser settings, in the second case , (for those users who create an Internet connection manually) in the Network Control Center, delete the connection setting and create it again.

Also, for users who have problems logging into the VKontakte social network, we recommend using other official software from VKontakte to search for and correct threats and malfunctions on personal computers. You can familiarize yourself with them and download them

They have already captured fifty thousand computers of VKontakte users.

This antivirus has a new generation cloud protection technology. Suspected threats are identified by the program by detecting anomalies in files. What does cloud technology mean? This means that a part of the antivirus is installed on your computer, and the main “base” is located on the VKontakte server. This is why Cezurity cannot work without an Internet connection.

As you know, the new virus has numerous modifications, and therefore it is very difficult for a regular antivirus to cope with it. We have already written about what happens to the unfortunate user’s computer. We can only hope that those who like to hang out online will have enough prudence for free download antivirus from VKontakte, which will not only protect your computer, but also help get rid of the Trojan if it has already caused harm. The program weighs about 17 MB. The download occurs automatically.

It is also worth emphasizing that Cezurity does not conflict with other antivirus programs and utilities, so you can safely install it and not be afraid that your current antivirus will work worse.

Installation instructions

When using Google Chrome, download the installation file and indicate where you want to save it.

After saving. click on the file in the download window.

That's it! An antivirus program will scan your computer for malware and remove it.
