Reappearing Trojan:DOS/Rovnix.D 

“Microsoft Security Essentials keeps picking up a Virus:DOS/Rovnix.D, telling me to restart the computer to complete clean, as soon as I reboot the computer the same virus appears as soon as I scan again. It either says the virus cannot be found or there is an error encountered while taking an action with it (e.g quarantine, remove, clean). Often now and again I also pick up a PWS:Win32/Zbot.gen!AP as well which seems to be removed, but after another scan it appears quite frequently.” – Quote

What Are The Dangers Behind Trojan:DOS/Rovnix.D Reappearance?

“For the past couple of weeks my computer has been completely crashing randomly, showing a blue screen. Not only does my computer crash, but my google chrome crashes constantly. Some times its so bad i can't even get on because it'll crash three seconds after opening a tab. I have microsoft security essentials on my computer. After running a quick scan (I'm unable to run a full scan because the computer always crashes before it has time to be completed), it told me that it detected " Trojan:DOS/Rovnix.D and that the alert level is severe. I don't know how to get rid of this virus, and though it says I should "quarantine" it, I don’t know what that means, and the option is unavailable. “ - Quote

Attacked by Sweet-Page.com Browser Hijacker! How to Remove?

Sweet-Page.com Problems

Quote1:
“I've read something about sweet-page.com being a result of having some sort of spyware in my PC.
Besides the fact that sweet-page.com is my homepage now, and I can't rid of it, some words in texts turn into popups with ads, and my chrome extension list features stuff named "IcoValiad 5.3", "ssavvianigitoyou 2.1", "RightSurf 1.0.0" and "New Tab Search 0.5" (at least those are the ones I'm suspicious about)
Microsoft Security Essentials found nothing with Fast Scan, and Complete Scan is running right now.”


Quote2:
“I somehow acquired the "Sweetpacks" toolbar/bundle mess today and spent 3 hours trying to remove it - no luck. It takes over your Toolbar, and even blocks legitimate search answers for serious attempts to remove it. Went into "Add/Remove Programs", I can see the various things added today – DomaIQ, IE Toolbar 4.7, VAF Player, etc. Tried to "uninstall" but either they won't OR I get the ‘An unidentified program wants access to your computer Allow or Cancel’.”

All in all, sweet-page.com manages to do the following things to plague victims:

Remove YoutubeAdblocker Adware and Extension – Is It Non-Removable and Based on PUP.YoutubeAdBlocker?

1. Advertisements fly all over the place where it previously wasn't - mainly payday loan, gambling and mail order bride sites. 
2. Clicking on a link, another page with ads opens up in front of the intended page.
3. On some sites, some words are suddenly green in colour, underlined a couple of times and clickable to take to advertising sites.
