| 807433 | 2009-09-07 06:45:00 | Yep and with Monday being a holiday, I don't expect to hear til Tuesday (our Wednesday) unless they are able to remove the malware. | smurf (6545) | ||
| 807434 | 2009-09-07 09:29:00 | Just having thoughts as you do. If all the above suggestions fail, would a clean reinstall of XP be a solution or will viruses on the existing system transfer during the reinstall ? One significant problem is at the moment the system has come to a crawl and even if downloading eg Malwarebyes begins, there is no guarantee it will complete download because the system freezes completely. Thoughts and/or suggestions please.:thanks A clean install will definetly remove the virus. But this isn't very deeply rooted malware-doesn't seem like a very nasty virus. The nasty ones infect critical system files....thats when you need to reinstall:p Try downloding Mbam from another machine then sticking it on a CD or flash drive and transfer it over. Blam |

| 807436 | 2009-09-08 09:07:00 | this is also a page hijacker, I have the removal instructions at work but if I remember correctly to remove, run malware bytes then trojen remover then finally hijackthis to find the entry for the hijack trogen remover picks up want malware bytes misses (no piece of software is perfect) and yes if you run trogen remover first the mbytes, the same is true |
