We treat a virus Vkontakte

Today a terrible virus is walking on the Internet blocking access to the site Vkontakte.ru. Symptoms of the appearance of this computer disease are the same for all. When you try to go to the site, your page does not open, supposedly the site administration offers you to register in the system using SMS activation. This measure "administration" explains the forced action to combat spam mailings. And there are users who naively believe these applications and send SMS, hoping to get an access code, but this access is still not there. But as soon as you enter your own phone number, you will receive SMS with a request to send an answer. Do not do this.

In this trick lies the idea of swindlers. The return SMS will be paid, and you will lose some amount of money, which is on the account of your phone. In such an impudent way, scammers manage to earn their living.

Dear users, remember, the administration of Vkontakte.ru will never ask for the sending of SMS to restore the account! If they blocked the account for spam, then it's forever. This whole story shows that your computer has infected the Vkontakte virus.

So, rolling up your sleeves, look for a pest in the computer. Look closely at the address of the site from which SMS-activation is required, and you will see that this is the address of the copy of the site Vkontakte.ru, and not the real one.

Typically, the Vkontakte virus should be searched by opening the file C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ drivers \ etc \ hosts, where it replaces the address of vkontakte.ru or vkontakte.com with another. When you get to the hosts file, open it with a regular text editor and delete all lines if they mention the Vkontakte site. Be sure to save the changes. Note that you need to open the hosts file, but in no case is hosts.txt. Everything in it that hints at harmfulness, delete without regrets and save the result. This should work, and there is a hope that the Vkontakte virus will be destroyed. By the way, the anti-virus DrWeb detects this problem and eliminates it.

If, after the work done, you still can not get to the Vkontakte site, and you've cleared the hosts file , it follows that your computer is infected with some hidden virus that you could not find. He, most likely, has sat down in system and can again restore the deleted files. This situation leads to the fact that the Vkontakte virus can be eliminated only by treating the computer as a whole. This can not be avoided.

To delete the virus Vkontakte, you can try the following method: click Start -> Run, write "cmd" (without the quotes). When the console window opens, write "route -f" and reboot the computer.

If all our tricks lead to nothing and the hosts file is restored again, we make one more attempt, for which we need to use the super-program "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware", which can be downloaded for free on the Internet. After installing it, we must update and scan the computer. Viruses Vkontakte should show up, along with them all other problems will come up. Ruthlessly, we find everything that is found.

We hope, more such an unpleasant virus will not infect you, and you will gladly spend time Vkontakte!
