its a pain in the arse.my computer is going haywire with other things also.as you said once its on a site its fine.need rid of the fucking thing.

 

I had a simular problem at the beginning of the year, got told to use these 2 programmes...

http://www.free-av.com/

And also malwarebytes.

Got rid of my problem but I had to use another laptop to get the programmes as it wouldn't let me go online.

I also had to change the name of the files so it couldn't detect it.

 

doing the malwarebyte one just now so will do that one next.

 

i also tryed superantispyware and that avira and ran them but i still could nt get rid of it

 

what about restoring your system to a previous date would that work?

 

+1 had the same issues and this worked a treat!

 

this happened to me last week , had to restore the full computer as it wiped it out

 

this

 

I had a root virus a few months ago, the only free software that found it, was Hitman Pro...............You can download it on a free trial!!

 

http://housecall.trendmicro.com/uk/ and http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html

 

the malwarebytes thing has made a good differance.still not sure its 100%

 

this fella was the one who said use them.

By chance the programme wasn't Security Suite 2010 or something was it? That was stopping you?

A full scan is vital, also do it offline if possible.

 

Don't forget to turn off system restore before fixing the pc as the trojan may be saved in a folder

Delete all old restore points

Then enable it when the pc's clean

 

restart your pc in safe mode with networking, download a program called rkill and run it once it has run dont restart the pc. Unhide hidden folders inc system files turn off system restore then uninstall malwarebytes and re install it update it and run full scan then restart.
go to trend micro double check with a scan, then turn on system restore rehide hidden files and system files should be clean after that.
