(in firefox you will have to save it first. make sure you save it to the desktop.)


INSTALL IT TO YOUR DESKTOP, update it,


then run a full scan and remove everything it finds.





some viruses will try to disable it


so if malwarebytes will not start up/install


save it to your desktop,


before you save Malwarebytes', rename it to something like XXXX.exe and then click on Save and save it to your desktop. Same thing after you install it. Before running it, rename the main executable file first





if it still will not install,


Right-click on the mbam-setup.exe file and change the .exe extension to .bat, .com, .pif, or .scr and then double-click on it to run.





If after installation, MBAM will not run, open the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware folder in Program Files, right-click on mbam.exe and change the .exe as noted above. Then double-click on it to run..





after you have used malwarebytes then do this online scan.


to make sure you have nothing else hiding away.

preferably in safe mode with networking.











☼good luck.
have you ever heard of anti-virus programs
Check the firewall settings of your computer. I think it is not a virus but some kind of a adware which might have got installed unknowingly. To protect your computer you have to turn your Windows Firewall On and steps to do that are:





1. Go to the run box in Start menu and enter Firewall.


2. Click on Windows Firewall.


3. Click Turn Windows Firewall on or off.


4. Click Turn on Windows Firewall under each network location that you want to help protect, and then click OK..
“Britney Spears is watching you through Facebook webcam!””Look at this dancing video, your face is looking red” “You look just awesome in this new movie!” These are just few out of the numerous quotes which hackers are using to hack your Facebook account. Once you try to watch these videos, you will be sent to a page that asks you to update your flash player. The virus lie there embedded in a “flash_player.exe” file. The Facebook virus is called as Koobface virus.





Prevention is better than cure and it is always suggested to be alert and avoid any kind of virus infection. Some of the preventive measures which can help in better security of your Facebook account include:





Do not click on any link or message which comes from unknown source or seems to be weird.


Always be alert while entering your account password anywhere


Report any suspicious message on discussion board or walls


Always use different password for your different accounts


Do not share your password with anyone


Always add a security question to your account.

EDIT: If you have another computer you can download the install package for malwarebytes onto a flash drive or external drive and then transfer it over to your infected laptop. If you get to the point where you can't do ANYTHING on your old laptop email me and I'll explain a formatting option but this wipes the harddrives contents. http://freevirusprotection-spywaremalwar…
download AVG anti virus in your system and fully scan your system on safe mode.
