How to get rid of malware/virus.

My pc last night shut the browser down and was saying that my pc was infected with malware and everytime I try to get into a browser it asks me for permissions and then the browser tells me that my pc has been infected and no I don't have a virus protector. So Is there anyway to fix it without taking it ssomewhere

Baaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha....what did you click on??
Pop-up from "Microsoft" telling you that your PC was infected?
Do not turn your PC off!!!
Go here
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/
look for whatever program is showing to be giving you the warnings (which is a fake virus protection program) and follow their instructions.
Download RKill (Google it) and install it on your PC.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha!!! You be freaking out and stuff

If i had to hazard a guess what you are seeing is a common bit of malware that tries to trick you into downloading even more harmful content. You get a message telling you that you are infected and should run a scan using their software..which inevitably entails you entering your credit card info....
As above, Malwarebytes should find it if you can get it on your PC in the first place. My friend had this recently and i removed it manually. I can't remember the name of it now though. Just Google the exact message that pops up and you'll soon see what it is.
For future reference, always be aware of the normal processes that you find running in your task manager. It makes it a lot easier to see when something is running that is new or out of place. Ending that process will usually allow you to regain control of your PC.

Yep, if it's one of the rouge antiviruses, either malwarebytes, or google the name and remove the files, and then the registry entries. I've seen so many clients with that crap, and one of them even told me they have an antivirus, and pointed to something called 'Antivirus 8'. 10 minutes of explaining that its a malware....she tells me to put in her credit card info. -__-

I only have one pc and I can't use the internet on that or down load stuff. Only from my phone so I download the program to my phone then move it to the computer like that? Will that work and yes it was a program called e-something saying it was a virus protection

You have a smartphone right??
You should be able to download a removal tool (www.malwarebytes.org) to your phone and then transfer it to your pc via USB and install it that way......
Either that or grab a flash drive and use a friends PC to get what you need....

In before buy a mac.
MBAM is a good tool, though a compromised machine should never be trusted again.
Learn to computer and you'll be fine.
LUA and DEP are a good start. Whitelist is better than backlist.

Ive had viruses that come in pop up ads from some sites that instantly give u a virus and they were annoying, they would install fake java exe on my computer saying i need an update and fake virus popups exe.
Malaware cleaned most of it, however some of the programs when the popped up i found the process went to it where it was at killed it and deleted it and then i was good

Antivirus 8 was the one i was thinking of. Good man! Stop the process, remove the folder from Windows folder iirc and clean up the reg entries.

Malware bytes says 26 infected objects.
Still scanning after it is done do I have to register?

[MOD] ADBlock (advertisement)

Hi guys,
this is my first post in Nexus S section. Wildfire is my previous device.
This is an ADblock file that will block almost all annoying advertisement (except those app made by Chinese from China [it do block, but not all]) in your app and browser as well.
Advantages
Free at all, does not use system service, update is not required.
Attachments
HOST.zip: Updated on June 2011
HOST1.zip: Updated on June 2010 (try this one if the first one doesn't block some of your app ads.)
Instruction:
1. Unzip the file and you will get a file named HOSTS.
2. Copy and paste the HOSTS via root explorer to system/etc.
3. Reboot system, and open an app with advertisement and you will see the advertisement is blocked.
Thanks for viewing.
Please hit a "Thanks" if you like it!

Would this work on sgs miui as well?

This script blocked ads from 21k site. It is like windows, they built in the feature but lack of ad block file.
I checked root tools from market, it doesn't block much of the site. It is paid app..

No one here uses adblock we all use "adfree" which is free and does EVERYTHING.
Personally, I have recently decided to keep the ads. They are the sole reason we have some quality games especially free ones. Its not like we are in abundance with android app developers, if simply having a small ad will keep them going, please support them.

YES ITS TRUE
Some Chinese Developers of android mipad device have modded the original ADOBE FLASH 10.1 APP for android and made it compatible for most ARMv6 and ARMv7 ( arm 11 family ) devices.

Instructions:
1. Download and copy to sdcard.
2. Use a file manager and navigate to the apk, install it.
3. Reboot the phone and all done .
Additional notes:
* Make sure to have "unknown sources" enabled on settings > applications.
* It won't work on Opera Mini.
* Works with both froyo and gingerbread (confirmed).
* Works best with dolphin browser HD

Wait. Does this play well with Flash Lite, and does it work in /system/app?
EDIT: It forces me out of both stock and Dolphin HD browsers every time I try to load any page with embedded flash. It loads the player and buffers, but once it tries to start playing I get sent back to my launcher. No FC, just closes the browser and kicks me back to my launcher.

Just downloaded and installed. Must say it appears to be working so far without any problem. Thanks Mattix for the heads up on this one.

I recommend removing the flashlite plugin now that we can use the real deal.
Edit: I can load sites such as Adult Swim Games without being sent back to the home screen, except there is no hard keyboard so I can't actually play, but when I try loading a video on the YouTube page it loads the embedded flash player and it buffers but if you click on full screen it loads then attempts to play then crashes back to the home screen.

As far as I can tell flash videos are buggy and crash... but as far as your porn I cannot help you on that.
With this modified version of flash 10.1 there should be more versions fairly soon.

You have full control of your phone now, you can use wireless tether to share your cricket service, you can explore the system partition and delete unwanted apps but be careful what you delete or change, you can use terminal emulator if you are familiar with the command line and Linux commands, you can change system settings with something like blade buddy or similar apps, basically root means you have full control to do anything within the OS.

Works awesome. No more Skyfire browser. Running Dolphin Mini now and works like a dream.

Someone school me please. I'm rooted, installed the flash player above, but some sites [like mythbusters/discoverychannel] still say I NEED FLASH PLAYER 10.1.0.0 OR HIGHER WITH JAVASCRIPT ENABLED TO VIEW THIS SITE. Well, I got both so what am I doing/did wrong?

Can Google make it so when my apps are updating, it only does it one at a time? The phone becomes practically unusable when 10 apps are trying to download at the same time. Super annoying.

just don't use your phone for a minute while they update

Maybe there's a possibility, like the netflix mod, to bypass the root check by someone that has the knowledge to do that sort of thing

If I install this, can I receive another Market update in the future? Or I should again install via APK?

How do you manually update an App after installing this latest Market app.
Example:
I've installed the new market place and notice that the Amazon UK app had an update this morning. I have set this app to manual update, but when I open the app through the new market, the only 2 buttons are 'open' and 'uninstall', there's no update button.
Confused? I am... any ideas guys?

Just wanted to let all Nexus 7 owners know...

It seems Dolphin has disabled Flash. I tried to turn it on some time back and it gave some message about HTML5 and flash causing your browser to crash. I was just reminded of this a few minutes ago and wanted to update anyone who is interested. Anyway, I had side loaded Adobe flash some time back and it is still working on Mozilla Firefox. Not sure what other browsers support it except for Frost lite. Hopefully I posted this under the right topic because all of my posts always get moved, lol. I am not rooted because I like the way everything is currently and have no real need to root. So, I guess it seems dumb for me to post this seeing most on here are probably rooted? God bless!

As you can see it no longer allows you to turn it on.

This is old news I believe, I'm fairly certain Dolphin has disabled flash for months now.

Best bet for flash is the AOSP browser. At the same time, though, I feel that if a site still uses Flash, they don't deserve my clicks

Actually Firefox is the best bet. Doesn't require flashing, and works fine.
