rush2112 Posted January 27, 2010 ID:189984 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I have had a couple of friends get infected with "Internet Security 2010".With the first one, I was able to use MBAM to scan and clean the PC.On the other friend's PC, it was so bad, I had to format/recover from the DELL recovery partition.In both cases, the infection either came back or they simply got re-infected. One of them was good for about a month and the other one lasted a week (the one I formatted!)Is there any authoritative information on how this infection happens? Both of them said they only search eBay and check email. (One of them was using a utility called "grabit" which apparently is good for searching alt.MP3 on usenet. I didn't know people still used usenet! She apparently pays $12/month for the full version...On another note:I am assuming that scheduled scans only work with the full version of MBAM.I tried the cmd line "mbam /schedule 18" and nothing happens around 6pm.Can anyone confirm that is the case?Best regards,Charles.
