Smirking_Saint Posted 18 July, 2011 Share Posted 18 July, 2011 Get the PC in safe mode then run Malware Bytes and search and destroy That should get the little f*cker. And tell her to stop looking at the rude stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 18 July, 2011 Share Posted 18 July, 2011 I forgot, you have to disable the process that runs as this little b*stard, I used a programme called Rkill that disabled it long enough for me to start a scan. However, if I was you I would follow this link, it should be a lot easier then the way I did it, in the explanation anyway. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-total-security Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 18 July, 2011 Share Posted 18 July, 2011 I recently had a virus that was 'clever' enough to disable and/or intercept any attempt to run malware removal software (malwarebytes and the like) I ended up creating a rescue disk on another PC - available free from Kaspersky website - and booting up on that. It has an integral virus checker which did the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
