Try the same step over Safe Mode.
Reply:replace your anti virus to avg its free.
Reply:Turn your computer completely off. When it starts (before the windows logo shows up) begin to tap the F8 key on your keyboard. This will give you a boot menu and allow you to boot into safe mode.





Before you enter into safe mode though, you might want to download and install Unlocker. It can remove all locking processes from memory and force the deletion of the file from your system. http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/
Reply:try scanning in dos mode ...
Reply:Go to use the tools on thes pages for removal. What ever you do .. do not reboot as the virse may spread to another file/s this is a common mistake a lot of people do..





Re-boot does not fix the issue... the virus can and will rename itself under different files





My is trade IT work and has been for 30 years
Reply:Safe Mode with the Dos Command Prompt is the answer, because it doesn't load the registry. It's the annoying registry that makes Windows so easy to corrupt and so hard to keep working correctly, and it's also the registry that lets spyware start up automatically right along with useful programs. Once the program is running, you can't delete it until you kill it, and even if you manage to kill it using Microsoft's lame tools, it will take you so long to find it and delete it that it will usually have found a way to restart itself through another stub that's better hidden.





I lucked out by inheriting a computer from my last computer science research project, so it came complete with MKS as an application running on top of Windows, so I have access to almost all the powerful UNIX utilities that are far superior to anything the clowns at Microsoft have the "skill" to conceive or implement. The command ps -ef|more lets me see all the processes and their PID's, and it's a lot easier to type kill -9 1234 and rm /spyware_dir/spyware.exe and use the up arrow to (edit and) repeat the commands quickly if I wasn't fast enough the first time than it is to use Task Manager to kill the process and use Windows Explorer to delete the program, especially when spyware usually slows down your system so much that all these "spiffy" GUI's slow down to a crawl, while DOS (and MKS) doesn't slow down nearly as much. Sometimes user "friendliness" just gets in the way!





Eventually, the average person will come to resent Microsoft as much as we geeks do, and Linux will become so popular that all the software companies that kiss Microsoft's bippy will have to get off their bippies and create a version of sufficient quality to be worthy of, and to run on, the Linux OS.

I am using that antivirus program.It works very well.


Just do a free scan.There are over 20,000,000 downloads by people in over 100 countries!
Reply:Firstly update and run your anti-virus product. You can also run a free online scan as well as some malware can actually corrupt or disable your resident security products. Here are a few online scans you can run:


Trend - http://housecall.trendmicro.com/...


Panda - http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/ac...


Norton - http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/defau...





Second download, update and run scans using the following products:


SuperAntispyware


http://superantispyware.com/


Spybot S%26amp;D (free version requires manual updating)


http://www.safer-networking.org/en/downl...


AVG AntiSpyware


http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tp...


Adaware from Lavasoft (free version requires automatic updating)


http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad-a...





(These programs can be run in Safe Mode after downloading and updating)





Third, after cleaning your system, disable System Restore, reboot and re-enable System Restore when you log back on. This will clear the malware that may still be lurking in System Restore, which could be reinstalled should you need to rollback at some point. Additionally, a reboot may be required to complete the malware removal process.





Lastly, you may also want to install the following tool. It is free and requires you to check for and enable updates manually once a week or so. It uses no system resources.


SpywareBlaster (inoculates, not a spyware removal tool)

If you cannot get it removed after the above, you may want to join a tech group that specializes in providing manual instructions on malware eradication.
