Try a free program called MalWareBytes. I have had several people with this infection and it has gotten rid of it for them. After you download it make sure you update and then do a quick scan.

It saved me from having to reformat.

If its coming back after a reboot, it has a hidden installer.

Try the manual uninstall instructions here:

No doubt I will still need them. Much appreciated if you could send what you have.

Definitely has an installer lurking somewhere - already tired those directions.


Thanks,

Are you doing the AV scans in safe mode?

Can you boot from DVD or from another HD?

Me, I'd boot from a Linux live cd remaster with an updated ClamAV, run a Win AV program in wine, or put the HD into another computer as nonboot disk and scan it with an installed and updated AV program after booting the second computer. Because the infected drive is not accessed on boot in this situation, the virus should be easier to eliminate.

Good luck.

A lot of malware has a hidden installer. If you don't scan from safe mode, it will just keep reinstalling itself.

**** (crap) no - forgot about running in safe mode - doh. Normally I would just pull the drive and toss in another - problem is that I'm running a RAID - have 4 drives here.


I had planned on reformatting - just not yet. Wanting to build the new server to transfer media stuff over - and then go with a single drive and a dual boot with x64 and Linux.

I got to much stuff going on to have to deal with this mess right now -

The wifey picked it up on my cuter last week, I used Spyhunter to clear it.
