Hey guys I was doing some IT work yesturday and came across the virus or malware known as compatibilitychecker.exe ran many scans Norton 360 and Microsoft security essentials and spy bot search and destroy with no luck after four hours I was thinking I may have to format but the customer has a lot of data that has a lot of backing up involved. I googled the issue only thing I could find is deleting the source but it comes back. Any one else dealt with this Damn thing and have a solution at all?

And McAfee isn't a real anti virus.

 

That might have been the funniest thing I've ever seen.

I mean, given millions of dollars, how many of us wouldn't be snorting something off of a high priced escort right now?
