How do you remove a bloodhound virus from your computer?

Answer 1

What does a bloodhound computer virus do? It causes your computer to automatically download virus-loaded sites onto your system (favorites) and opens infected and unwanted web pages without your consent as soon as you go online. Here is more input: * Best remedy: Norton Antivirus * They have many forms so therefore you cannot fully identify one. In my case it was bloodhound.w32 -- it freezes up the computer. * It wrecks your PC. * Read both of the F-Secure and Symantec links to the right BEFORE doing any cleaning of the virus. Only Norton labels unknown viruses "bloodhound" and therefore ever finds one. You may want to scan with this which could find the virus with another name, then re-scan with Norton to see if that same bloodhound thing is still there. This is the free Microsoft anti-virus line. This is a totally free service that will walk you through the virus removal steps: For support within the United States and Canada, call toll-free (866) PCSAFETY (727-2338).

Answer 2

The Bloodhound.Exploit.6 viruses take advantage of a vulnerability in how some programs (notably IE and Outlook Express) dealt with HTML content contained in CHM files. CHM is a compiled help file format created by Microsoft. Usually the virus will be detected by the anti-virus program in your temporary internet files. The virus is also often detected in your Temp folder. Bloodhound viruses vary so the detection software needs to use heuristics to detect them. Unfortunately having AV software specifically Norton AntiVirus set to the "Highest level of protection" setting will produce many false positives. This is due to the nature of the virus and the method of detection. Some of the patterns used in legitimate content appear to be virus material.

Answer 3

==What is the Bloodhound Virus ?== Lots of computer users refer to the "Bloodhound Virus" like it is a specific thing - as in "How do I remove the Bloodhound Virus"? While we may know what they mean, what they are asking is technically incorrect. "In reality, a 'Bloodhound Virus' is spyware" Bloodhound is a technology that was developed by Symantec. It has the ability to detect various types of viral activity using heuristic algorithms. (techno mumbo jumbo for "symptom search") Think of it like going to the doctor - you may have a symptom like red spots on your back. It could be measles, Allergies, or just mosquito bites. The doctor knows its not normal and by asking a few questions can get a better idea of whether or not its serious and how to treat it. Bloodhound works in much the same way, sniffing around looking for something that isn't quite right. Sometimes what it finds is no big deal, but usually its something harmful and sometimes it is extremely serious for your computer.

Answer 4

Honestly, if you had this virus on your computer it's most likely you won't be able to remove by youself. You would have to go to your closest digital nomads which are people who can get a chip in your computer to help the virus go away.
