How to remove virus Hotfix.exe?
I have not downloaded anything recently, nor have, I opened risky e-mails. Today in the middle of a conversation, a pop up came saying I had a Trojan horse. Of course, I closed the window pop up, knowing it was probably spyware trying to hide itself as an anti-virus. Then I noticed a new program on my desktop. Reflection point. My PC froze and I was forced to restart. Now it starts whenever I start my PC, even in safe mode. I can't remove it because it is still being used... I can't open my task manager to end the process, because the program blocks. Please tell me how I can remove this virus from my hard drive. I have NO idea where it came from and he did nothing else than grief...
Thank you very much
If it happened recently, run system restore to restore the computer to an earlier date:
Restart the computer and start typing the key F8, select Safe mode with command option. If you are prompted to select an operating system, use the arrow keys to select the right pair and press ENTER. Log in as administrator or with an account that has administrator credentials. At the command prompt, type % systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe, and then press ENTER. Follow the prompts to restore your computer to an earlier date.
Good luck.

Hello
If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.TDSSKiller.exe. - Download the desktop - so go ahead and right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN

While I was surfing on the internet with my administrator account, a fake software security suddenly jumped on my screen (it says system tool on its title bar). He tells me that my computer is infected with the virus so much and tells me to click on 'remove viruses', which I think will allow him to do his actual damage. Meanwhile, I can't run all the applications. My screen has been replaced by a virus warning message. I can't launch internet browsers, nor any of my antivirus. I can't go to the control panel. Everything that I try to run is blocked. A message appears saying that I am trying to run is infected and that I should «remove virus» The only application that I can run is Windows Explorer, so I see again all my folders and files. But I can't open any files, because the virus blocks applications.
However, I am able to log in with other accounts. I can restart without problem. I can work as usual with other accounts. In one account, I ran Microsoft Security Essentials, Malwarebytes, and SUPERAntiSpyware. None of them could detect the viruses that appear on my administrator account. I was able to create another administrator account and now able to operate as before with the original administrator account. I know that the virus is still hanging out in my computer. Apparently, it only affected one account although an administrator account. But I don't want to run the risk of doing damage later (maybe already is, but not yet obvious). How can I remove this virus?
I use Windows Vista. Thank you.
Hello
System tool is a computer infection from the same family as security tool , this infection is also classified as a fake anti-spyware program because he pretended to be an anti-virus program, but is actually a program that displays fake security alerts and the results of the analysis to make you believe that your computer is infected. System tool is installed through the use of malware that will install the program on your computer without your knowledge or permission. When it is installed, the infection files will be created in a random named folder in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\, XP, or C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\, in Windows Vista and Windows 7. Then, it will be configured to start automatically when you connect to your computer.
