Malware Removal Guide Suggestion for SuperAntiSpyware

BfB · Dec 12, 2009

I've had a few friends who haven't been able to run SuperAntiSpyware on their computers following your guide recommendations, even when attempting to rename to "SAS.EXE" (as you suggest). This generally is because they have "a class of infection that specifically targets SUPERAntiSpyware and prevents it from running." Most of them gave up. I quickly found a solution here (some just aren't "in the know" enough to search to find such info):

It would be great if you could link to this also instead of simply stating to rename. This is a very powerful program that some will give up attempting to run without the info contained in the link above.

Welcome to Major Geeks!

We tell people about this alternate start method when necessary, but many of the new infections that are out will still block it from running too since they will block almost any executable file. Sometimes they will allow it to run once but there after it will no longer run since permissions are changed. This is not just a problem with SAS. All protection software is getting blocked and renaming will not help.
