I've been asked by a friend to fix their virus problem and after looking at their computer it showed they had 3 anti-virus programmes INSTALLED PLUS My Security SHIELD and still had a good few infections. Having never heard of My Security Shield I Googled it, and every page said it was malicious and suggested programmes to download to get rid of it. Seeing as it was not my computer, I was not going to pay for any software (any link given would have scanned the computer and just shown me what was INFECTED & then REQUEST me to pay for it to actually remove anything).

The processes and registry keys given to remove it manually were not actually on the computer and the other users on the computer could not find anything if it was searched for. I'm thinking the easiest thing to do is just delete this user! But I'm still puzzled as to why it was only one user affected!

Has any one had any experience of a rogue antivirus programme affecting just the one user on a computer?Quote
