Hello All

I've been coming across a MALWARE (possibly a Virus) named Gemini in my PC since a couple of weeks. Here is the details of scanning report. Please suggest me what shpuld I do to overcome this issue. I have a full running version of F-Secure which could not clean/disinfect the virus. I don't see any specific problem with this till now but I see it only when scan is completed.

Malwarebyte's Antimalwarebyte is the best solution as bange said.

They have a free version of the program at http://www.malwarebytes.org/

But, please do a full scan, do not rely on the quick scan. It removes 99.999% of the malwares.

2ppi,

"It looks like a Malware, not really a VIRUS. Don't Worry ATM"

You must be Kidding me right? Google for Difference between a malware and virus..

Sanjeevkafle,

"It removes 99.999% of the malwares"

There is no AV that blocks 99.999% of the Malware..typically the Proetcion range of Most of the AV products are in the Range of 30-60%..For most of the malwares in the Wild , the Protection is not more than 10-20%..

Piece of Advice to You all,

1.Use AV products that have Web-based Reputation System. Typically it will block the URL which is supposed to Host Malicious Content(Not only malware but Phish,Exploits and Drive by Downloads)

2.Use AV products that have HIPS(Host Intrusion Prevention System). Most of AV's rely on Behavioral based protection(Is useful when Mal ware Writes into disk and tries to modify the System Files but it is not useful when Mal ware tries to Write into Memory Location where it is not Supposed to Write)
