"data protection" questions please help

[Rosey]

so you guys have helped me numerous times and have always come through. i have ran s&d a number of times and even updated it and i cant seem to get rid of a certain virus.
somehow...i think my significant other (whom has noooo computer knowledge whatsoever) had downloaded something called data protection.
we now have shortcuts on our desktop for trojans that i cant get rid of. this data protection keeps trying to run and i dont know how to get rid of it.i also think that i have a problem with rundll. the message is always different but the end of the error is always the same and it states %1 not valid Win32 app
any help is greatly appreciated. thanks guys!!! i know youll come through!!

Hi Rosey,

"Data Protection" is a fake AV, so called Rogue. :fear:

I've already sent Team Spybot some detection rules for this Rogue. Let's hope that the they can integrate these rules fast.

Have you tried other Anti-Malware products?

If you can't get rid of it:

Please read this FAQ: "BEFORE you POST"(READ this Procedure BEFORE Requesting Assistance)

Then start your own thread in the Malware Removal Forum and post your DDS logfile. An analyst will advise you as soon as available.
