PC Virus Doctors' Computer Repair has ventured across another rogue Microsoft program titled, "Vista Home Security 2011" that once again is difficult to remove. The fake program masquerades as a legitimate Microsoft product but infected users will quickly understand that the program is not legitimate by the way it behaves.

Windows Repair- Rogue Microsoft Program

PC Virus Doctors' computer repair in Dallas recently encountered Windows Repair, a fake Microsoft product on a Hewlett-Packard laptop. The malware was particularly difficult as it was accompanied with a rootkit and what appears to be dirty code that knocked out part of the file table structure leaving blank folders although the information was there and able to be accessed through our proprietary means.

This rogue program attempts to imitate Microsoft products but after a few minutes users understand that this is bribeware that is attempting to extort money from unknowing users.

The NTFS was in such bad shape that data recovery had to be performed. Also, the recovery disk would not install so the next move is to wipe the data and attempt a reinstall.
