stopsign eAcceleration doesn’t work

Computer Aid Posted on by

I got a PC that was badly infected. It would hang as it started windows.

I removed infected files from the system in my usual way: connect the HDD to an clean PC, and scan from there.

Once I restarted the customer PC using the cleaned HDD, I found stopsign popped up, wanting to scan the PC.

Sorry Stop Sign, you had your chance, and failed. I also find out that the customer had actually paid for stopsign eAcceleration

And the PC also has vet, spybot, and a few other “leftover” security software.

So I remove all old and useless security software, and install antivir, and everything starts working much better.

Remember people: don’t buy security software online, unless you are really sure it works.

  1. Good advice, the majority of the supposed “security software” out there is actually malware intended to make you THINK you have a problem, when the problem is the software itself.

    You may want to post this for your readers.

    Good Antimalware:
    Avast.com
    Malwarebytes.org
    AVG
    Spybot SD
    AdAware
    CC Cleaner
    COMBOFIX.exe

    if those programs cant fix your problems then you need serious proffessional help.

    Watch out for files like “Win Antivirus 2008” or any pop up windows from myspace that claim you have viruses or malware, they probably containt the Vondurant Trojan…and it isn’t fun or easy to get off.

    thought that might help anyone that was curious.

  3. Thanks matt.

    Although I’d change your list slightly:
    remove AVG (I’ve had a lot of hassles with it lately).
    add avira antivir
    add windows defender (I’m not an MS fan, but defender is actually quite good).

  4. Im with you on that one…Avira was good last time i used it (a while back)…and i dont use AVG myself…i have heard complaints about the new version.

    and defender isnt bad for microsoft
