DB11 Posted 24 June 2009 Share Posted 24 June 2009 Run HijackThis to take out all unwanted start up items and processes. If you're lucky the virus should be here so it will stop affecting you but you still need to take it out even if it's disabled now. Run CCleaner on all the computer accounts (if the strain of virus is bad then it will close this as it realises you are trying to remove it. if this happens boot into safe mode and do this) Once CCleaner has been ran download MALWARE BYTES and then update it, do a quick scan (as you've ran ccleaner to remove all the crap it should only take around 5 minutes) this should find some infections and then remove them. Reboot PC. With your anti virus eg. AVG or Norton update it then run a full system scan. Reboot. Job done. HijackThis : http://www.download.com/Trend-Micro-Hijack...4-10227353.html CCleaner : http://download.piriform.com/ccsetup220.exe MalwareBytes : http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-...4-10804572.html ComboFix : http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe If they start closing down because the virus knows that you're trying to remove it then reboot in safe mode and try running them. If the files still don't open, then get ComboFix and run that. If it won't run you'll have to rename the file to something like "DB11isgreat.exe" and then run it. If this doesn't work and they still don't open then you'd could take out the hard drive, put it in another computer as a slave and then boot it up. As it's the slave it won't boot up to this hard drive but you can still access it from the computer. After this, tell the working computer to scan the other hard drive. Finally, if you don't have any anti virus, download and run AVG. If you do have anti virus, run this now.
