Has anyone had this "prunnet.exe" virus on their PC?

I ended up trying to install DivX again last night, and while downloading the program, my PC started to slow down.

Come to find out it was the virus running and installing.

It ended up installing something would create pop-ups and such. Simple and annoying... just get rid of it...

But, then I find out it blocks all "antivirus" websites... Not good there. But, no fear, I have antivirus on my PC, so I can just do a scan.

WRONG! It make the programs "connection" to it's database (internal) fail, so it can't scan and it stops with a "failed connection".

So, I ended up having to just redo my whole computer being I tried for 3 hours to get rid of this thing with no luck.

Have any of you seen/heard/know anyone that was hit with this thing?

I saw on one of my many searched that this virus was added to a virus database on the 21st of this month.

I hope you all are updated on your antivirus software. (yeah yeah, and all you Mac users can just post this ":p" and leave. LOL)

did you try going into safe mode, and deleting it from the registry?

yup.

my virus scanner found it as it popped up, gave me the name of 2 files.... and I couldn't find them on my PC anymore (but when that happens I right them down)

I did the search and read a few sites saying the same thing.. remove the file, and remove it from the registry in safe mode and all that. but the PC shut down.. crashed... then did it 3 more time on start up.

Once I got it stable enough to search again for removal tools, I couldn't get to any of the sites... not even in safe mode with network connections.

I had a registry watch on there too... and ti infected all my processes running, because when it popped up stating there was a requested change... it was a list of all the process running on my PC. :(

I got a bug like that recently. It just seemed to block me every way I tried to go to fix it.

Yup.

I reinstalled and YAY for the EMachine Backup. I didd't lose any of my pictures or music or movies.

Now... the programs and such... I have to spend hours reinstalling.

Oh well... fresh install I guess.

I'm in the same boat Alv....got it along with gadcom virus. I'm still screwed. Seems to be cleaned but I can't get my wireless to connect at all. Windows doesn't even see my router of my neighbors.

I'm about at the point of backing up to an external HD, running a scan on those files, wiping the partition off the HD and starting from scratch.

"BLOCKED ALL SITES!?!?"

You couldn't do a Google Search?

it pulled up the search results just fine.

but, it would not allow downloads of updates od database files, or other anti virus/spyware removal programs and such from the site.

I could get to the huddle and google and NFL.com but it blocked such things as symantec.com and avg.com and bleepingcomputer.com. etc.

Same here so I copied the URL of the file I wanted to download, into a download manager prog (Download Accelerator Plus) and I was able to download both HijackThis and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. Ran both and they claim the virus was cleaned but I still can't get back on the net and I'm not sure the virus is totally gone. When I get motivated, I'll do the data backup/scan to an external drive and then start from scratch again.

      Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.

      Dream big: Imagine this future and tell me how you feel

      I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
