My partner has got a malware programme called Windows Ultimate Booster lodged on her machine.
It purports to be an anti virus programme.
It carries out fake scans and informs you there are many viruses on the machine.
An alert keeps popping up advising the firewall has blocked a programme.
This prevents you from doing anything else.
Windows Ultimate Booster is a new malware. From what I see when I Google for solutions to get rid of it, it appears it arrived around late January.
When Googling for solutions there are many that appear but often it is advertising for programmes to delete the malware - at a cost of course - or the manual solutions to eradicate the malware while consistent in some steps are inconsistent in others.
What I would like to know is - has anyone had experience in successfully deleting this virus?
What did you do to delete it?
Is it possible to get rid of it manually or will she need to purchase some software to delete it?
Thanks in anticipation.
