The links I see for the popup recommend you download hijack this and post on 1 of the forums that analyse the resultant logs.įor stubborn infections that nothing seems to budge try using an application called "Hijackthis" and posting its log on one of the forums below. I found this re the popup and Malwarebytes not running you need to rename the mbam.exe file to say Chris.exe (read the thread) After you have done so reactivate the addons ie Site advisor Ok 2nd link doa atm but the 1st should have installed it.
#Superantispyware download fail how to
Any idea how to get this block removed, or if it isn't a block, how to get things fixed? My guess is that the virus somehow blocked connections to parts of, but not all as is evidenced by this post.
#Superantispyware download fail update
As you might have guessed, the update continues to fail and now McAfee is in even worse shape. I hooked up a wired keyboard and mouse, and deleted the contents of the Bin folder. Being able to guess the most likely cause, and knowing the most likely outcome of attempting the "Fix for Failed Update," I decided to try it anyway. The installer got as far and trying to download files, then it failed. Time passed, and ignoring it became more annoying then trying to fix it, so my first try was to download the installer from another computer onto an SD card and then bring it to my computer and use it there. After some rage grunts I decided to just wait and ignore it. I found the "Fix for Failed Update" and tried it, but I use a wireless keyboard and mouse so I couldn't get into safe mode. Cursed, shut down, restart, cursed some more, and then came to the forums. I tried the chat client and my computer froze trying to load it.

The rest of the webpage was loaded fine, but just that one part would not load. I logged into my account, clicked download, clicked agree, clicked download, and IE8 told me that it could not display the webpage. My first try was to reinstall McAfee, as the error advised. It became clear that I would have to do something to fix it, and that is when things started to get weird. I wasn't too worried at first, since that error popped up from time to time, and it had always just disappeared on it's own before, but this time it stayed. After several scans, it seemed like the trojan was gone, but then McAfee started giving me the failed update error.

Despite McAfee, I downloaded a trojan a few days ago.
