Andrew 4969 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 malware bytes I had that virus once, if it doesnt work for you with a DL then you need to do it on a diff computer and use a USB pen to sort of sneak it onto your comp change the file name too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14021 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 F11 on startup. System restore to a few days ago before you got the malware. Normally vista updates it's restore points really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooner 243 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 yep nothing works for it as it doesn't let you run any executable files......had to back up the hard-drive and start fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay 10 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) Hit F8 to run in safemode. Install maylware bytes. You should also look for files in C:\Users\paddy\AppData\Local C:\Users\All Users\AppData\Local Which are just random numbers.

khay 10 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 That seems quite good like. but normally this virus stops you running CMD as well unless you are in safe mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
