Hi, Usually I can get rid of this by doing the reboot in safe mode,however this time when I go to safe mode the Pc keeps rebooting into normal windows mode. There is malwarebytes(freeware)installed on this PC but it doesnt seem to have stopped it this time. Is there any method of using a usb stick with a program on or a disk where i can reboot the pc and these will take this awful pest off. Help appreciated as always.
What is it you are trying to rid by booting in safe mode? There are several things that can keep you from booting in safe mode like the Trojan Sirefe. Have you tried anything except MBAM? Maybe Combofix can fix it. Run Combofix: You may be asked to install or update the Recovery Console (Win XP Only) if this happens please allow it to do so (you will need to be connected to the internet for this) Before you run Combofix I will need you to turn off any security software you have running, If you do not know how to do this you can find out >here< or >here< Combofix may need to reboot your computer more than once to do its job this is normal. You can download Combofix from one of these links. I want you to save it to the desktop and run it from there. Link 1 Link 2 Link 3 1. Close any open browsers or any other programs that are open. 2. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix. Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts. When finished, it will produce a report for you. Note 1: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall Note 2: If you receive an error "Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion." Please restart the computer. "information and logs" In your next post I need the following Log from Combofix let me know of any problems you may have had How is the computer doing now?
