Gumblar Virus

The gumblar virus is a very silent virus that does strange things. Most of what the computer does is still normal and web browsing appears to be largely OK, but the following happened.   It was removed using malwarebytes after doing a manual update of the .refs file (definitions).  See the other blog post for instructions how to do that.  The infection was nothing more than a 6 character file in the windows/systme32 folder.


1.      AVG would not update


2.      Malware Bytes will not update


3.      Quickbooks multiuser mode will not complete the load


4.      Firefox crashed when adding plugins


Gumblar.cn is a website is listed to be suspicious and contains several exploit scripts and trojans that might harm and infect computers.
