I should also have mentioned to keep closing those Anti-Hazard screens when they appear. I just right clicked on the toolbar Anti-Hazard icon and then clicked ‘close’. I got about 30 or 40 during the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware phase of the fix, but they finally stopped once the fix started deleting the files.
My PC also has an Administrator, but I had no problem running the fix from my account. Maybe try again? It worked for me and I’m totally inept at this type of thing.
Mine did the same thing. Try again from the beginning. And follow the instructions exactly. It will work.
Thank you so much. This windows Anti-Hazard virus really got a hold of my PC and scared me. But the fix above worked like a charm! In fact, by the time I got to Hitman Pro there were only traces left and my PC was running great again. I can’t believe there are social deviants out there who spend so much energy making these viruses when there is so much good that could be done in the world. But I want to thank you guys for offering free solutions like this that really work and that more than offset those nutbars out there making this crap. So, my heartfelt thanks to you guys for being so awesome!!!
Did you run rKill before scanning with MBAM?
Infected with Windows Anti-Hazard but no proxy server set in IE. Running MalwareBytes identifies threats but when Remove is selected system hangs. Task manager unavailable. Windows Anti-Haxzard then displays screen re-installing itself.
Well the good news is that if you are using a Standard Account (Non-admin account) then this rogue software didn’t do to much damage to your PC as programs that run in a standard user account, in theory, are not able to do things like modify the Windows system files. Basically this fake av should’ve just compromised your account and not the hole PC.
The removal process usually needs Administrator rights however you can try to follow this simple guide even with your account.
