Adobe PDF Virus?

Fake Adobe Updater virus | Adobe Flash Plugin

	My computer caught the Adobe PDF Virus??? I suspect my computer has caught the Adobe virus, the fake Adobe Updater virus or the Adobe Flash Plugin virus. This virus gives you a line of BS that says something like This plugin is vulnerable and should be updated. Check for updates... Click here to activate the Adobe Flash plugin. For me I remember the virus having an image that looks like a Lego toy block. It looks like this The Lego toy block is displayed with the messages and it is also displayed at the top of the screen in the line where you enter the URL for Mozilla, FireFox, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. It took a while for my computer to start displaying this image and the image looks like this: On Tripod websites such as this the virus seems to be displaying a pop up menu which looks like this

	Also some times I am getting pop up messages that say Some plugins have been deactivated for your safety. Adobe Flash Activate ! Outdated Version! Check for updates Activate All Plugins This is a copy of that pop up menu

	The virus seems to be rather smart and it will find a DIV on a web page and calculate the size of the DIV and then display it's self over the DIV. The virus seems to disappear as soon as you click anywhere on the DIV or for that matter on the web page. I still have to analyze exactly what it is doing. Currently the virus has only attacked FireFox. It is not bothering web pages on Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. Articles on the Adobe PDF Virus??? How Do I Clean Adobe Virus?

AnxietyProne Newcomer, in training Posts: 79 Well it seems I'm here now with an actual problem. I went to a webpage that I assumed was safe - linked by a friend - and I kept getting a popup to update Adobe. I didn't click yes, so I assumed I was safe. I restarted my computer and now in my Task Manager I have something called DATCD9E.tmp Cheerful Puncture Demo. I ran Malwarebytes and it found several entries which I chose to remove, and even now I am continuing to get a popup from Malwarebytes telling me it's blocking different pages. I want to make sure I've got this thing off my computer completely and really appreciate the TechSpot forum help. Thank you. SEE THE PREVIOUS LINK FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THIS
