View Full Version : bad malware :(
Its so bad that i cant update MSE ive tried to go into safe mod but it wont let me i cant even manually update the anti virus and i cant get into safe mode =\ what should i do?
You may need to perform a repair installation of windows. I've had 2 removals this week that required this. Unfortunately only 1 system looks like it might be 'saved', because the virus/malware is so new nobody has a fix yet. They were different infections though with similar results. Having to perform a repair install is pretty common practice, but once back up be sure to get into safe mode and start some scans immediately. Also try combofix since it's likely a rootkit infection and combofix does a good job removing those.

looks like your system has been hijacked, so it will be hard to do anything, even to run rkill (google) as I've seen malware that blocks that program.
Download this:
http://download.bitdefender.com/rescue_cd/ <- the August 2010 dated ISO
Burn it onto a CD. Boot off the CD and make sure you're connected to the internet. It will download the latest definition files and then automatically scan your hard drive for viruses/trojans, etc. That should help gain you control of your PC for you to run the scans from MSE, and also download Malwarebytes and use it, too.
Also, some of them mess up your network settings, google "Winsock XP fix" (it works with vista, not sure about Win7) because I've seen some set up proxies configurations on the PC and enables them to put in trojans, etc.
i tried torun rkill but the only thing it disabled was itselt lol.
ive never done a windows install repair before will i t jack up my files/system?
im dling that rescuse cd now, i tried the kapersky one earlier but it didnt seem to do anything. another thing is that i cant even get into safe mode, when i restart i hold down f8 and my comp just goes beeep beep beep beep beep beep till i hard power down
also ive got W7 ultimate 64 so idke what thats gotta do with it.
thankd for your time/ help guys i ve never had a virus this bad before :(
Hey so a quick update: I burned bit defender and its bee scanning for about 30 min, and its found 5 infections so far, i cant wwait for this to be over with. ive never had a virus and it figures that when i do get one its a really nasty one haha
oh well, worst case i can always just wipe the computer and start from scratch evven though its alot of work, theres nothin like a fresh install hehe

Yeah. When it's done. You can review the infected files and either delete them all (recommended) or delete one at a time if it makes a mistake (it hardly ever does).
That alone should give you control of they PC to run all programs. If it does, then just run malwarebytes as that scans for specific malware, not viruses like bitdefender does.
Yeah it wouldnt even let me open up malwarebytes! since i already had it installed.
Also this is for you since i can tell you love Daft punk as much as i do :P:
