Install or uninstalls that try to access blocked sites will fail
When the sagipsul virus blocks anti-virus or firewall or other tech sites,
it will cause installs, uninstalls, and reinstalls to fail if at anypoint
they try to access their home domain name over the internet.
Installs and even uninstalls may use access to the internet as a way to
grab files, lists of filenames, revision information, or database queries as
part of their process. I've seen the sagipsul virus (superjaun virus) block
access to microsoft, avg, norton, symantec etc. Not only blocking web
browser access, but blocking installs of virus scanners and removal tools
during an install. It should not be a surprise to find uninstalls of complicated
firewalls, anti-virus tools etc. to also access the internet to their home domain servers.
I'm concerned that some of these great ideas to fix the problem will be
to remove a tool (firewall, anti-virus, malware monitor) and then be faced with the inability
to reinstall it later, because the virus did not get removed by the next steps.
I think the procedure needs to first lift the blocking before dropping defensive shields
like firewalls and any existing malware/anti-virus tools. Otherwise, you may
end up with a PC still with the virus, and without any ability to defend against
other attacks and without the ability to install new defenses or reinstall old ones
because the virus blocks access to sites with the firewalls and anti-virus databases.
That's my fear.
