jfish1936 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Acer Aspire tablet/keyboard, running Win 8.1 I thought I had AVG installed. On startup, I try to access AVG site through IE, or through Firefox. It will no access either site Accessing Malwarebytes gives me their initial screen, and then overidden with advertisements.. On a desktop, I would change the boot order, and then boot from a "rescue disk" either CD or USB, with an antivirus included. There is no CD drive, and I can't see how to get an antiviru program on a USB. Sorry, can't afford airfare to Sheffield just now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalithic Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Sorry, must dashing off for work but try Rkill or one of its renamed variants. It should kill the viruses processes and allow you to run a scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IT-Smith Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Do you have access to another PC? As you could use this; AVG Rescue CD Guide http://free.avg.com/gb-en/226162 Or this How to create a Bitdefender Rescue CD http://www.bitdefender.com/support/how-to-create-a-bitdefender-rescue-cd-627.html And this Booting Avira Rescue System from a USB Stick https://www.avira.com/en/support-for-home-knowledgebase-detail/kbid/655 Or if you can install Avast you can create a USB stick from within the program. If you get stuck let me know and I will PM you links to avg/avast installers on my company's support website.
