I hope this Strongvault Online Backup thread is in the right forum

[erdan8]

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 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.
