Yinstall.exe

Anybody know anything about Yinstall.exe.

From research on Google its some sort of spyware installer that seems to have got in via MSN - bloody kids

There's lots of info about how to get rid of it but i'm never sure what to trust.
I would prefer to hear it from someone on here who i ''know'' ( in a virtual way as it were )

And all the fixes seem way too complicated for me !

I've tried Ad-aware, eiwido and Spy Bot but without success.

Any help welcomed

Cheers

Tony

Re: Yinstall.exe

Hi there, found this link that may be what you are looking for.

http://fileinfo.prevx.com/adware/qq6...STALL.EXE.html

Sorry for the length of the link. looks like it's a tool for removing it.

Have a look at the site first www.prevx.com and you can search for the tool or use the link above.

Did a computer that belongs to a bloke in the village yesterday, twas riddled with trojans. took ages to get it to a reasonable state.

happy hunting.

Hi RobbieMac

Thanks for the link.

Installed Prevx1, performed full system scan and it deleted it, along with quite a few things my other programs seemed to have missed.

Seems to be working fine and keeps blocking intrusions and deleting them.

Thanks for the help

Tony
