Virus outbreak on KSL.com
AntiVirus 2010. My wife got it last night and it's running rampant through the Schools this morning.
Along with about 80% of Utahns ages 25-75 who have a computer. KSL.com is a Utah favorite.
Anyways, I was able to remove it with Malwarebytes.

Also try Trojan Remover:

Or ComboFix:

Good luck.... that's the same virus I had and is discussed here:
http://www.bogley.com/forum/viewtopi...=199812#199812
I never could get Malwarebytes to run on the infected computer (the virus attacks Malwarebytes).
I finally was able to get Spybot to run and that cleaned up the computer enough that Malwarebytes would run and finish the job.

Here is some great info on removing the Security Essentials virus. It's the info I used.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/viru...ssentials-2010
Also.... download this program (rkill) to your desktop and run it first::
rkill.com Download Link
http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/rkill.com
Running the rkill program ends the processes that belong to Security Essentials 2010 so that it does not interfere with the cleaning procedure. Basicly rkill allows you to regain some control back over your computer so you can start to clean up the mess.
good luck.

Udink-
I work in IT and I wonder the same thing. I have never received a virus from a site like KSL."My heart shall cry out for Moab..." Isaiah 15:5

I'm sure they've got the problem solved on KSL's end by now.
The virus was being pushed out, just by visiting KSL.com, starting last night around 8:00 pm.
A very convincing (to internet noobs) message comes up prompting the install or scan to remove the fake threats.
TO REMOVE THIS, Malwarebytes WITH THE HELP OF fixexe.reg : download it here
Make sure the threat (antivirus 2010) is running. Then run fixexe.reg. This will allow you to then run Malwarebytes and do a full scan.
Otherwise, anytime you try to run an exe, "av.exe" stops it from running.

KSL has acknowledged the problem and suggests a solution (Malwarebytes and Spybot S & D) for those infected: http://www.ksl.com/?sid=9810554&nid=165

I used to run SpyBot a lot for about a year but I've become unimpressed for some reason lately. It's set to always run in the background. I like Malwarebytes just as the manual scanner.
But I guess certain people need that constant protection running all the time.

On the other hand, as soon as I'm comfortable that KSL's safe again, I'll post an ad that I'll remove this virus.

*Alex emails the whole district about the virus, ksl blocked, all that stuff. I didn't check my email and I IM Alex in a panic telling him of a "possible virus on KSL.com". He replies "Nah, couldn't be."

I agree with Summit (like usual).
I have visited KSL a ton this week, but I have ad blockers on my computer, so it couldn't even begin to be an issue for me."My heart shall cry out for Moab..." Isaiah 15:5

You guys just keep thinking you are safe and you will get nailed sooner or later..... if you have ever been rick-rolled you have already been hit.... its just that a rick-roll is a harmless joke..... the rick roll could just as easily been hiding a nasty virus....
This KSL virus tricks you in a way similiar to a rick-roll. It tricks you into clicking on a button that opens your computer to the virus....
There are two types of computer users in the world.... those that have been hit by a nasty virus.... and those that are going to be hit by a nasty computer virus....
