I got hit by it and had no choice in the matter. It was not called “thinkpoint” (other known virus that is out heavy),but it has the same kind of run, like a security program, wanting me to run it and so on.
Called “Antivirus Action” it blocked every single malware and virus program i have from opening! not only that anything i tryed to open it soon shut down unless i had it already open before infection. It would not even let me open task manager.
What i am doing now might be what others will have to do.
i followed the instructions on this site http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-antivirus-action
i was able to restart my computer into safe mode to deactivate the virus so i can run my Malwarebytes scanner to remove it.
The instructions give you all the links and tools to get rid of a virus as aggressive as this one.
I have been using malwarebytes for over a year now and has rid of many Trojans. I would suggest having handy a malware anti virus program such as this or an equivalent. In which all are free.
