Need Help Removing Virus


Recommended Posts

I have a virus that MalwareBytes and MS Security Essentials wont take care off. MSSE just keeps telling me threats are being detected and cleaned , but it wont ever stop. Its the 1st time ive had a problem like this. MalwareBytes and MSSE usually take care of everything but Im afraid I downloaded something from my Hotmail that wasnt kosher. Any suggestions?

I have been asked to help with the removal of Malware at BestTechie so if you are still in need of help, please follow my instructions:

So Do Not Remove anything or run any tools/programs until advised to do so !

Please stay with us until we give you the "All Clean Speech"! Just because the problem has stopped it may still need some clean-up !

Please note that all instructions given are customized for this computer only, the tools used may cause damage if used on a computer with different infections.

If you think you have similar problems, please post a log in the Tech Support forum and wait for help.

Backup the Registry

  • Download ERUNT
  • Save it to your desktop. Right click on the downloaded file(erunt.zip) and click Extract.Follow the prompts to extract the file.
  • Now click on the folder "erunt" and find and double click on the file called Erunt.exe
  • Click OK. Then Click OK again.
  • Click save and then go to File > Exit.

This is so the registry can be restored to this point if we need it. It may take a minute. Just let it run until it's done.

THIS IS FOR USERS WHO CAN NOT GET EXE. TO RUN

In addition, for users that cannot run executables. You can now download OTL either as a .com, or a .scr file.

Note: When using these links, use Internet Explorer to download. If using Firefox, you should right-click and use "Save link As". Otherwise, on some systems, FF attempts to open the file as a script and just a bunch of gibberish is displayed.

oExtra Registry > Use SafeList

* Under Extra Registry section, select Use SafeList

* Click the Run Scan button and wait for the scan to finish (usually about 10-15 mins).

* When finished it will produce two logs.

o OTL.txt (open on your desktop).

o Extras.txt (minimised in your taskbar) The Extras.txt file will only appear the very first time you run OTL.

* Please post me both logs. This may have to be broken into more than one post !

Post Next:
