I installed AVG Free version 3 days ago and since yesterday it started reporting a virus called Trojan Generic_R.KGN naming ‘svchost.exe’ as the infected file. I have tried to both Remove & Ignore the threat, but a few minutes later it came back again. I can’t seem to delete the file. Not sure what to do now. Is there any other way I can get rid of the threat without reformatting my PC?
Trojan Generic_R.KGN belongs to Trojan parasite which is a malicious computer program that infects target computer system by exploiting system security leaks and can cause many malicious activities on the infected PC. There are several ways you can get infected with this kind of Trojan virus. Generally speaking, it may come to your computer after clicking on malicious links or after visiting a hacked website. You may also get the virus by opening attachment from spam emails or clicking on suspicious pop-up ads. Once the virus is downloaded and installed, it can be used for monitoring victim’s web searches and browsing habits. Meanwhile, it modifies system settings, creates malicious files and a certain registry entry in order to run every time you start your machine.

Hello. I have a serious computer issue. My computer has been locked by the WindowsActivationError Pop-up. Back then, I just finished installing a media player. A message popped up and said that installation was done. I clicked on “Close”. Suddenly, a window appeared and asked me to enter a product key. So, I did as it required. However, it said product key missing. To fix the problem, I was supposed to call the Windows support for help. I was not sure if it was a right choice, so I left the problem and turned off my computer, waiting to see what would happen the next day. Unfortunately, the pop-up is still there. Should I trust the support and call the number? Are they able to fix my problem? Is there a way to fix my computer without calling them? What do I do? Any advice would be appreciated.
WindowsActivationError Pop-up is a tech support scam which is designed to direct computer users to seek the help of fake tech support companies. The cyber criminals write this program to swindle money out of innocent people. To promote the fake tech support and security program, it makes up fake alerts and non-exited error to scare you into calling for help. You must know that the issue it mentioned does not exist. There is no need to call the number for tech support. If you call the company, they will convince you purchase useless program. In fact, this pop-up window is the real issue. It is a computer threat that damages your system for illegal money under the help of its remote owner. Luckily, you can fix the problem easily by removing all files related to WindowsActivationError Pop-up. Read the rest of this post »

My AVG anti-virus keeps detecting Trojan horse Inject3.AUPR” and I can’t seem to get rid of it. The virus pops up every 5 minutes in my Windows/Temp folder. I click to remove it, AVG says it has been removed successfully, and then exactly 5 minutes later AVG finds one again. I’ve deleted the Temp folder, and uninstalled any recent downloads that could have caused this, but it still keeps popping up. After 20+ years of using AVG, this virus message is getting to be a real nuisance. Any help will be highly appreciated.
TrojanHorse Inject3.AUPR belongs to Trojan parasite that allows hackers to remotely access your computer system, letting them modify files, steal personal information and install more unwanted software without your permission. It usually sneaks to your computer through some unsafe free software, spam email attachments or malicious websites and etc. Once inside, the virus modifies registry entries and other system settings in order to get started automatically whenever you log onto the system. Thus, you may keep receiving virus warning from your security tool like AVG or Norton. It is very annoying to get infected with this virus because AVG or other famous security tools cannot cure the virus at all. You may spend a long time on scanning your computer but the virus still comes back after a system reboot. In addition, the virus can strikingly slow down PC performance. And sometimes your web browsers won’t work properly as the browsers are redirected to undesirable ad sites. When you open task manager, you will see the CPU occupancy rate is very high all the time which will lead to computer freezing issue and program malfunction program.

Okay. Well, I decided to contact you this evening to see if you could assist me with FBI Cyber Crime Division scam virus. It’s sort of an emergency and it needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. My Samsung Galaxy tablet has been hacked and I cannot do anything on my tablet. I cannot surf the Internet, listen to my music, check my email, or anything. I believe that I have been hacked by cyber criminals, because some weird site called “FBI Cyber Crime Division” came up on my tablet when I was trying to get on there earlier today. It’s been like this all throughout the day. I’ve tried closing it out and also tried going back to my home page, but it wouldn’t allow me to go anywhere. Literally, it stays on one page. I also tried restarting my device. Once I restarted it, I typed on my password, and the same FBI Cyber Crime Division page appeared again, taking over my whole device. Can you help me remove it please?
FBI Cyber Crime Division scam virus is a type of ransomware which is trying to swindle money out of you. It holds your mobile device hostage and demands a certain amount of fine. This is why it is classified as ransomware. It claims that it is from the FBI Cyber Crime Division, telling you that you have been violating copyright laws or illegally using or distributing copyright content. To punish you, it blocks your mobile device. You are required to pay $100 to get your device back and avoid further punishment within 48 hours. It scares you that you will be taken to the court and spend 6-8 years in jail. Do not fall for this trap. Its owner is not the FBI Cyber Crime Division but the cyber criminals. The real police will not punish you and collect fine in this way. In other word, you are not in trouble with the police. There is no need to pay the non-existed fine. At the same time, you need to note that FBI Cyber Crime Division scam virus is particularly dangerous due to its effectiveness and its harm. No one knows what the remote cyber criminals can do on your device with the help of this nasty virus. Hence, we strongly suggest you remove it out of your device as early as possible.

Hi. There. I am having problems with this PC Backup 360 for Windows. My computer had worked great until last week since I have found this backup program. Back then, an ad popped up and said that I could backup my files for free by using the program it provided, so I clicked on it to install on my computer. However, it turned out to be a stupid action. It didn’t help me backup files as it said but asked me to purchase its product instead. I can afford its product, but I don’t want it because I don’t trust it at all. It changed things on my computer without asking for my permission. It reports various computer threats frequently while it didn’t help me. Now my computer always crashes down without reasons. It runs extremely slow which I can’t stand any more. I have idea how to remove it. Please help me out.

You will find that it will not help you for free at all. When half of the job is done, it asks you to buy its licensed application to continue. Besides, it can backup your data to its remote developer. It also is ad-supported program. Web ads may pop now and then. You may find useless programs are installed on your computer which takes up much space of your CPU. It reports fake warning to scare you into believing that your computer is infected with serious virus to foment chaos. We strongly suggest you remove it out of your system as soon as possible to protect your computer.

Hello. I was online looking up something for school and the ICSPA hack popped up on my school iPad. I didn’t read it entirely, but it said that it was an ICSPA warning saying I’m accused of watching banned porn (child porn, zoophilia, rape) and that I had to pay a $500 fee. I was so worried, because I thought it was real. It even showed my IP address, and I was worried if I didn’t pay right now, the police would go to my apartment building and arrest me despite only being a teenager. I pressed cancel on the locked page, but it just sent me to another weird pop-up that showed me how and where to pay the fine. I have never searched up child porn, zoophilia, or rape because all of those are disgusting as hell (especially zoophilia), and I am very aware of how they are illegal, since it’s all over the news. My question is how to get this virus off my iPad completely without losing my pictures and data?
ICSPA Hack, as known as International Cyber Security Protection Alliance Virus is a mobile threat that mainly targets iPhone and iPad users located in the UK, Ireland, Canada, the United States and Australia. This malware is categorized as Ramsomware that freezes Internet browser (usually on Safari or Chrome) and blocks users from accessing Internet by displaying a deceptive message supposedly from ICSPA or other federal agencies. It falsely accuses that you have violated Copyright laws, and your device has been used for visiting websites containing pornography, child pornography, and child abuse, so your Internet has been blocked for safety reason. The virus demands money for fictional crimes. It asks the user to go to Kmart, CVS, Walmart, or Walgreens and loads $500 on a Paypal, Moneypak, Ukash or Paysafecard prepaid card to pay the fine in 48 hours, or else your Apple ID will be blocked forever and criminal case will be opened against yourself. Even worse, the virus grabs a couple of different contacts from your phone and says that these contacts can be called up and interrogated as witnesses for your crime. And if you do not pay $500 fine, data including photos, videos and text messages will be erased. Infected users will be given an “OK” option which is at the bottom of this fake message but it won’t do anything to close the page. The page will not go away even after reboot. The hackers know well how to scare and fool people. They send such scary pop-up which utilizes JavaScript to hijack user’s internet browsers and display user’s IP address, location and make them think it is a real warning from International Cyber Security Protection Alliance. In fact, the ICSPA hack virus warning is fake and your device will NEVER be locked forever only if you manually remove the virus. Real department will not send you such warning or lock your browser alleging you’re guilty of a crime and ask you to pay something on the internet. This is a scam and do not fall into it.
