1298748	2012-09-03 22:37:00	Got a laptop with the File Recovery virus I have researched the repair on the net & tried 2 without any success 1] indicated to change the proxy settings in IE - except the virus has removed IE & access to the control panel 2] the other suggested renaming the virus .exe file - but that didn't work either - it remade itself can anyone suggest a method of removing this virus I am open to refomating if thats the only or best way. OS: windows 7	NZHawk (4093)
1298749	2012-09-03 22:52:00	Have you Tried / Read This Here (malwaretips.com)	wainuitech (129)
1298750	2012-09-03 22:53:00	Yes this is one that I tried that states to open IE - but IE isn't available	NZHawk (4093)
1298751	2012-09-03 23:05:00	Try running Rkill first, as well as the other Removal Software While in Safe mode. Also try running IE from the program Files.	wainuitech (129)
1298752	2012-09-03 23:07:00	got it will report back - thank you!	NZHawk (4093)
1298753	2012-09-03 23:24:00	Ok ran Rkill & Unhide : icons are now visible & will run malwarebytes	NZHawk (4093)
1298754	2012-09-04 00:00:00	I ran Malwarebytes reports no infection! would this be because RKill removed it?	NZHawk (4093)
1298755	2012-09-04 00:18:00	I ran Malwarebytes reports no infection! would this be because RKill removed it? Malwarebytes only picks up certain types of infections. Try running a virus scan as well. What antivirus program do you have on the computer?	Nick G (16709)
1298756	2012-09-04 00:27:00	McAfee Internet Security I updated & required reboot and it's reinfected itself again will start over with RKill	NZHawk (4093)
1298757	2012-09-04 00:28:00	McAfee Internet Security Umm......McAfee isn't great. If malwarebytes isn't picking it up I'd say run a virus scan, but if possible put something better than McAfee on. Something like the Nod32 trial version would be good to clean of an infection	Nick G (16709)
