In the previous posts of this blog, I had mentioned about worm and virus attacks in my computer. Later I got still more attacks with them. Out of them you see in the above picture the Trojan:Win32/Detplock virus, that is displayed by Windows Defender. In the picture placed down you see yet two other viruses! They are Trojan:Win32/Powemet.A!reg virus and Trojan:Win32/Bagsu!rfn virus.
Each time I surfed the Internet, I got them displayed by the Windows Defender as quarantined by it and removed them manually each time when I shut down the computer. Later, I observed that new viruses are coming up from the surfed websites rather than from the infected computers of the commercial Computer centres. Then I found out the website that was issuing the viruses to my computer!
You see here above the picture of the website I used to surf through. Each time I clicked on a news article in it to read in a separate window, I got the viruses in the Defender showing them as captured! I stopped clicking on the news articles from then and observed for the past one month. I never had an attack with any virus! So, be careful in clicking on news items too as in clicking on advertisements.
Read here about the other virus threats I encountered:
Win32/Gamarue.gen!A
Win32/Powemet.B!attk
In my previous post, I had mentioned that I got an alert message from Windows Defender about worms attack in my computer. I described about the removal of the first worm, Win32/Gamarue.gen!A. Now, you can get the details of the second one, Win32/Powemet.B!attk. This worm infection has been declared as of severe nature. It infects computers through emails, USB drives, videos listening and clicking on web links in malicious websites. The Microsoft website says only that its Windows Defender detects and does not remove it! It advises to do full scan with Windows Defender or Microsoft Security Essentials. It hasn't given any suggestion for the removal of the malware, that can steal personal particulars from the computers. I wait for a solution from the Microsoft website. But so far there is no update on it. Each time I open the computer, I remove the worm from the Windows Defender box that quarantines it each time! If you have a solution, share it here.
