virus help!

I'm still getting this
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 error

[Shockwares]

Norton sucks, I had this happen twice, probably due to you visiting mindpoop (thats where I got mine)
First time, I couldn't do anything and resorted to going through Norton themselves and they did the whole take over your computer for 100 bucks and repair it. He cleaned it all up but the idiot left the file that initiated the virus on my desktop and it quickly took over again after a few days.
I ended up just opening in safe mode and just transfer everything you need or care about off onto an external drive and reformatted. I then downloaded AVG and use them now. once you finished reformatting, connect the stuff you transferred to the external drive and scan it all w/ your new anti virus stuff before putting it back on.

If I remember right, I had this error pop up aswell, just have to do a bunch of microsoft updates and it fixes itself.

I also recommend running malware bytes & Spybot, but once you resolve the problem you only want to run Avast because running more than one program can cause problems. Avast does most everything you need and it is free.

Have you tried going back to a restore point using Windows Restore? If you can go back then you may be able to eliminate the problem that way and then get Avast up and running.

Great minds think a like.

Shockwares know's what's up. Go with his suggestion or mine & showoffzzz. Lose Norton and if you do surf Mindpoop I would stop that also. Mindpoop is well known for infecting browsers and hitting you with random popups, some people say it's fine but it's not worth the risk in my opinion.

If you want mindpoop quality finds without the risk just go here: https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/showthread.php?t=70202

Fango and everyone else that contributes in that thread does a great job. It should really be titled The Mindpoop Substitute.

Have the same issues on one of my better desk tops. IT's some malware, which wanted to sell me an anti virus program. I have AVG and it is one of the better ones, but even they could not help. Now the systemn boots up, but as soon as I try to go into a program, it shuts the computer down.

[hereyago]

mine just wont open some programs. it is something to do with .NET framework?

[MarquisMD]

It calls itself "Windows security 2010". It shows up as msr.exe or BASE something. AVG identified it as a visafraud software.

Removing these types of virus programs are what I do everyday. I use Malware Bytes and if it still didn't work I use a program called Combofix. They work amazing well and do not cost a dime. Once I remove the virus I then get rid of McAfee, Norton, etc and add AVG free antivirus. AVG works really well and it has saved my ass many many times. When things get slow or strange I run Malware Bytes or Combofix.

I fixed the virus easy enough it was the repair of the MS stuff that was the kick in the ass. I finally got it done.

Can't speak to the particulars of this, but I have had very good results with malwarebytes and avg in the past. Housecall used to be good too but when they went with the java engine i had problems making it work right.
