Saint-scooby Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 Any ideas how to clear it, it has shut off both windows and a pc tools anti virus, now got pop ups and some random messages.... ??? Thanks in advance
saint_stevo Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 we'll need more details than that to help mate! THIS But try booting into safe mode, install MalwareBytes, update it, run quick scan
Pancake Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 now got pop ups and some random messages.... ??? You sure you havent just installed Windows Live Messenger?
Saint-scooby Posted 23 May, 2011 Author Posted 23 May, 2011 Mmm just been able to run a scan will see what turns up
Saint_clark Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 Is it registering everything as a "severe threat", even things like Internet Explorer? I had that one a while back, was a right ***** to get rid of.
Saint-scooby Posted 23 May, 2011 Author Posted 23 May, 2011 Nothing yet, will have to wait and see as just off out
Smirking_Saint Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 If its the one I am thinking of, which pretty much blocks any attempt to boot up a decent scaning programme or antivirus (except for its own (fake) one) You need to boot to safe mode and then run anti-malware or search and destroy to kill the little sh*t
Jimmy_D Posted 23 May, 2011 Posted 23 May, 2011 There's another one around now that hooks into about a dozen different things in the registry (including the shell, in effect windows itself) so it still loads up even in safe mode. My cousin got it, I ended up having to manually hunt through the registry to get rid of the hooks so I could then get MalwareBytes going to finish it off. That was fun!
Saint-scooby Posted 23 May, 2011 Author Posted 23 May, 2011 I did a scan found rougewin32 and trojandownloader, willl run a different scan now just to double check
