View Full Version : I hope this Strongvault Online Backup thread is in the right forum
Is anyone familiar w/ Stongvault Online Backup? It somehow wormed it's way into my system, and I can't uninstall!! I've tried everything! I Googled it, (S O B)... very appropriate initials by the way, and there are numerous posts discussing it, w/some offering uninstall advice. None of the uninstall methods that I found on Google worked. Any advice (particularly, any advice from the baddest, most expert techno dudes/dudettes(?) on the web would be very much appreciated.
Hello erdan8,
Is anyone familiar w/ Stongvault Online Backup?
As you know from search engines there are topics with strong opinions about the product. ;)

What is your operating system and please list security software installed. :)
Best regards.
I run Windows Vista Basic..for security programs I'm using Spybot and Microsoft Security Essentials. I believe my computer's performance is getting worse w/each passing hour. I hope it's my imagination.
Regardless, I can't remove SOB. My CPU usage is hovering at or around100%, w/only a couple of applications running. Help!
Hello erdan8,
For someone to take a look at the system please start a topic in the Malware Removal Forum (http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22) and a volunteer analyst will advise when available.
First see that forum's FAQ which also includes instructions in post #2 on how to provide DDS and aswMBR logs, which are the logs used in the preliminary analysis.

If you can't produce the logs please start a new topic anyway, make note of the situation and wait for a response. :)
Best regards.
I just read post 2 in Malware Removal..I understood about 90% of it. "Attach.txt' should be zipped" in DDS log has me a little bit confused, but I'll definitle copy and paste text DDS.text. into my post. I'll do my best to provide the requested info, and I will be posting in Malware Removal because Stronvault is still messin w/my system.
Again, thank you so much for efforts in this eternal battle between the forces of good and evil.
I just tried downloading ERUNT, and I can't even open the download window. I'm assuming Strongvault has something to do w/it.
