055BCCAC9FEC Warning

[motoxdog261]

Hello! I have read a few of the previous posts about this, and I appreciate David Lipman posting the lists he made, but I didn't see where or how I can get rid of this virus. I was going to buy the premium version, and still intend on doing that, but I didn't want to start entering CC information knowing there is something lurking inside my computer. I did run the scan on the 14day trial, but it came up clean. This is a new computer and my MacAfee trial, that came with it, just expired (and right after the expiration notice came up, I got the 055BCCAC9FEC Warning notice... go figure!). I would appreciate any help with this matter. Thank you!

• Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST)
  1. Download FRST and save it to your desktop
     Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. You can check here if you're not sure if your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit
  2. Double-click to run FRST and when the tool opens click "Yes" to the disclaimer
  3. Press the "Scan" button
  4. This will produce two files in the same location (directory) as FRST: FRST.txt and Addition.txt
     • Leave the log files in the current location, they will be automatically collected by mb-check once you complete the next set of instructions
• MB-Check
  1. Download MB-Check and save to your desktop
  2. Double-click to run MB-Check and within a few second the command window will open, press "Enter" to accept the EULA then click "OK" 
  3. This will produce one log file on your desktop: mb-check-results.zip

It was more than likely a Fake Alert as @David H. Lipman has already mentioned.

Now if you want to make sure your computer is not infected you will have to start a new topic in the Malware Removal Area where an expert can help you check you computer out.

Thank you! I knew I needed to start a new topic, just wasn't sure where.

Thank you.

It is NOT a virus.  It is a malicious web site.  The content is not on  you computer, it emanates from the Internet.  It is rendered in the Browser.

The way to  "get rid of it" is to close the Browser.  Many of these FakeAlerts program the malicious web site so that is not so easy.  There are a few choices.

• Reboot
• Logoff and then login
• Kill the Browser process in Task Manager

Remember -  It is just a web page.

OK, I understand now! Thank you SO much for your time, David!
