Remove LNK:FakeFolder-B [Trj] (FakeFolder Trojan)

LNK:FakeFolder-B [Trj] Outlines


LNK:FakeFolder-B [Trj] has been recently found to spread via portable devices. Once an affected device is connected to a machine, .lnk extension will be caught to be added to all folders. It had also been found that the files and data copied from a machine were gone when they were about to be pasted onto another machine; and the only stuff that showed up were loads of .tmp files. Though the FakeFolder Trojan can be detected and quarantined by installed anti-virus program, the files stay affected on hard drives. In other word, LNK:FakeFolder-B [Trj] has not been removed completely.

As its name suggests, LNK:FakeFolder-B [Trj] attackes shortcut vulnerability. And once the FakeFolder Trojan settles down on a machine, it would generate items and documents that appear to be normal, awaiting unwitting clicks to execute its vicious codes and payloads:

How to Remove: Trojan:DOS/Rovnix.D Invasion and Reappearance

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

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:
