| 1253938 | 2012-01-13 22:49:00 | Good day folks, After a good run, my pc has suffered a virus raid. I run eset NOD32 and it picked up the threat strght away. However this morning I can't open firefox.exe ad a number of others. It appears that the registry values that associate with file name extension are corrupted. any clues? i run windows xp pro |

| 1253939 | 2012-01-13 23:01:00 | Scan it with malwarebytes update it first. Then do a full scan. I would also run trojan remover. (http://www.simplysup.com) Update then click on scan. Then reset everything under the utils menu | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1253941 | 2012-01-13 23:16:00 | try downloading again, but rename it to something else before downloading, see if that works | bevy121 (117) | ||
| 1253942 | 2012-01-13 23:36:00 | If the File associations have been changed/ damaged, go HERE (www.dougknox.com) Download the appropriate file for the association you want, merge it into the reg and it should fix it. ( try the exe) Had a customer a few weeks back, he managed to get some malware and it totally screwed all exe files, ran the exe fix, and all was well. |

| 1253943 | 2012-01-13 23:37:00 | Go to the BleepingComputer site www.bleepingcomputer.com Halfway down that page, you'll see a reference to Rkill, download and run that first (DONT reboot) then download and run MalwareBytes. What's happening is that you are still infected, and that infection is running processes that is actively stopping you downloading/running anything to fix it, Rkill should stop that process. |

| 1253945 | 2012-01-14 00:30:00 | If after scanning with all known good malware checkers, and I'd do a Hijackthis too - it's still screwed up, do a Windows Repair install. | pctek (84) | ||

| 1253947 | 2012-01-14 23:53:00 | hello folks, have just managed to get back online a few more threats found on super anti spyware scan then did a crap cleaner workover registry included seems like everything is running well again. the rkill did the trick. thanks for everyones help. Question: I am running eset NOD32 in conjunction with a windows firewall, should i add a purely malware protection program that is running continually in the same way as the eset? Please get back to me if you can help. Perhaps I should make this a new post |
