  1. I just got this virus. Been working on dismantling it. I am not sure any antispyware will remove it. This version is pretty sophiscated. The older version was pretty easy to identify in the registery. The version I have was built using Pervasive Software. Pervasive Use a embed writing technique. The screen image you get was transfered into an .Ink file format. Yep a paint file. So for I have deleted well over 200 registery files associated with it. Oh, I identified Pervasive by tracing similar binary langauge and data reconization values to it.

  2. I’ve been locked out of my tablet due to the ice virus and I can’t get to the Google play so I can download the antivirus what should I do
