[gui-talk] piece of malware keeps coming back.

[Humberto Avila]

I have seen from the accessibility point of view that Malwarebytes does not
do well with listviews and listboxes where you have to select infected items
work with JAWS and NVDA. I have seen this before. NVDA does not recognize
the listviews that Malwarebytes presents; it just calls them "Unknown". JAWS
does not speak anything from them although it seems that he recognizes them.
You may have to move to that list box and even though your screen reader may
not access them, try pressing control+A to select all then tab to the button
"Remove Selected". If that does not work, then it is time to let those
antimalware companies know that blind people using screen readers aren't
supposed to be left out of the cybersecurity outreach.

Ken,

Scan any jump drives, external hard drives,  or SD cards you have to be sure
it isn't hiding on one of them.  Of course, if you find it on one of them,
you'll have to rescan your computer as well.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

>Hi list accidentally downloaded a medium level threat called Safrsaf from a
bogus MP3 site.  have killed it with security essentials and malwarebytes
twice now and it keeps coming back.  it only impacts firefox 
and I uninstalled and reinstalled a new clean copy of it and it is coming
back.  basicly all this does is install unwanted toolbars and runs
autoplayed commercials popups and links asking you to update your 
media player to a socalled flashplayer 12.  as mentioned killed it with
malwarebytes and security essentials already and itâ¬"s back again.  scanned
with malwarebytes and it picked it up.  now scanning with 
security essentials.  have also run Ccleaner to be double sure.  will
probably do that again.  the bogus site and MP3 that contained the file
originally has been reported to the singer whos song contained the file 
too.  why does this thing keep coming back when it has apparently been
killed by both malwarebytes and security essentials.  should I maybe try
spybot?  is spybot 2.0 up to date with a full version?  have to 
uninstall the demo of that first.  is it more accessible?  thanks.  again
this is a mid level threat according to security essentials.
