• DNSchanger removal of malware problem; MS security scanner won't work.

  I've been infected by what I assume to be the DNSchanger malware. 9/10 times that I'm trying to access a page from a google search, they simply open habit, I'm not re-directed, but they won't open. If I try to go to my dell's internet home page, it will load up, then redirect me to some site summary spam/ad.

  I downloaded the two microsoft security scanner and repair program Avira DNS. I ran Avira, it says it works. Then to remove the malware itself, I run the scanner.

  (I'm just following the instructions of google, gave me when I googled something he says my computer is infected and gives me instructions on how to remove DNSchanger malware).

  But once it's done scanning it will ask me if I want to delete potentially unwanted software. The only thing that is listed under the potentially unwanted software is called: Win32/PowerRegScheduler, which is apparently an .exe file which is located in an other users (of the computer, there are three different profiles on the computer) folder progr. If I chose I would delete potentially unwanted software, it immediately stops and restarts my computer. Even if I select I want this deleted software and click on next, skip the removal of the software, he always immediately stops and restarts my computer. I tried running a full scan and a quick scan. Nothing works. Help, please!

• AVG Free Edition or Security Scanner for MS 1.0.30001.0, who should I believe?

  AVG is infection by the Virus (Generic30.amon) reports on an executable installed in 2006.
  MS 1.0.30001.0 security scanner found no viruses or Malware.  Who should I believe?

  Naïve question of the day: a virus infect an exe without changing the date of last modification?

  In general, any antivirus that detects a "generic" virus is a kind of behavior that he dislikes, but does not match a known virus, so the generic label.  A single file is detected, that I personally would consider it a false positive.  Get a scanner in offline mode and scan your computer from a bootable CD or a flash drive, if you want to be sure.

  And Yes, a virus can control exactly what you see, if the virus is running.  It's what they do.

  Thank you very much.

  The safety of MS Scanner will not prevent your system from being infected again - you need to use another product to help with that.

  No single analytical tool seems to know everything, so it is prudent to use more than one.

  Microsoft is not in cases of prevention, detection or removal of malware - that aren't their specialty.  There are other companies where the removal, prevention and detection of malware is their specialty and that's all they do all day long.

  Why are we expect or ask Microsoft to surpass in the areas where it's not their job?

  We do not know enough about your system for now, so see if you can get it cleaned up and stabilized first and then decide what to do next.

  If you still think your system may be achieved a malware, I would do these things before you start any troubleshooting effort:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  Download and run Hitman Pro here and during installation to be 100% sure to refuse the installation of toolbars, decline any e-mail options, nothing to do with Bing or MSN, perform a scan time, accept no e-mail and activate the free license:

  http://www.SurfRight.nl/en/downloads/ (make sure you get the free version)

  Download and run TDSSKiller from Kaspersky:
  http://support.Kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?QID=208280684

  The scans by operating clean, then to solve any problems.

  If you still think that you have any questions, then proceed as follows:

  Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  What is your Internet browser and version?

  Your system's disks IDE or SATA drives?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  Do you see that you think not you should see and when you see it?

  What do not you think that you should see?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

• Partially removed Microsoft Java CVE-2013-2423 security scanner

  Hello

  I ran the Security Scanner version 1.0.3001.0 Microsoft and he has detected the malicious program JAVA/CVE-2013-2423 and indicated that it was partially removed.

  I deleted all my Win 7 Pro x 64 system Java programs and represented the program with the same results, only partial removal.

  I deleted all restore and backup points and the scan is represented with the same results.

  The scanner said three files were infected. But that doesn't tell you which files they are.

  There is no way to determine what should be deleted from the system. When you click on "View detailed results of the analysis" what you get is a pop-up with two columns: Malware and analysis of the results. Only in the column of malware: exploit: Java/CVE-2013-2423. The results of the analysis indicates: partially removed.

  The popup box also indicates: to view the manual steps, click the name of the virus, spyware or potentially unwanted software. When I click on the name of the virus, I get a Web page on the virus and it says it takes to remove programs, I did after the first scan, but the Scanner still shows its presence.

  I think Microsoft should modify this program to give the full path to the infected files.

  This is the first time I ran the Microsoft Safety Scanner. My internet security software is ESET Smart Security 7. I also run Windows Defender and SUPERAntiSpyware Pro, but none of these programs has detected this threat.

  Is there a solution to this problem?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Concerning

  This problem has been resolved. Although I just updated to ESET Smart Security 6 at 7, I didn't run a scan complete with ESET SS 7 still. ESET SS 7 found and removed the threat.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/entry.aspx?name=rogue%3AWin32%2FWinwebsec

  Of course, your computer is infected with a fake antivirus program.  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/PC-security/antivirus-rogue.aspx
  You know the name of the program?
  You have requested the assistance of your anti-malware installed program?
  Otherwise since the Microsoft Safety Scanner cannot solve your problem of malware suggest that you run the following scanners which will not interfere with your program AntiVirus installed. You may need to run in Safe Mode or Safe Mode with network.

  Free Malwarebytes: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ or if it will not install in Normal Mode or Safe Mode with network see http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/chameleon/

  Hitman Pro Trial Version: http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro you may prefer to try HitmanPro Kickstart, which should remove this malware and fix all changes made to the computer: http://www.surfright.nl/en/kickstart , you must use an uninfected computer to download it to a flash drive and then follow the specific directions on how to run the program on the infected computer.  Hitman Pro Kickstart is available as a 30 day trial version.

• security scanner does not run

  I ran it before, but now I get an error message that msert.exe is not a valid Win32 application, thanks.

  Hi James,

  Please contact the Microsoft Community Forums.

  Looks like you are unable to run the Scanner and get an error message "msert.exe is not a valid Win32 application." We will analyze and identify the cause of the problem.

  1. where exactly did you download scan Microsoft Safety?

  2 is this problem limited to the Microsoft Safety Scanner files?

  Not a valid 32-bit application can have several origins:

  File is corrupt, missing, or bad.
  File is not designed for your version of Windows
  File is a virus, worm or other malware file
  Hardware incompatibility

  Method 1:

  Perform a SFC scan on your computer. Consult the following link:

  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Method 2:
  

  I suggest you reinstall the Microsoft Safety Scanner on your computer.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a tool of free downloadable security that provides analysis on demand and helps to remove viruses, spyware and other malicious software. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The Scanner security Microsoft cancelled 10 days after current download. To re - run a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Note: Data that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a potential for data loss.

  Hope this information helps. Get back to us if you have more queries about Windows.

• Microsoft 1.0.3001.0 security scanner will not complete scan

  I ran MS Safty Scanner several times. Fast parse does not return anything. The full scan checks the 1.6 million files and shows 42 infected files. The analysis ends but crashes it after completion and view the results file or fix anything. I ran in regular as well as several times safe mode. How can I fill this scan?

  You should check your version number of the Scanner.  The Safety Scanner is only good for 10 days after that it is downloaded, so a course on the site of Microsoft Safety Scanner download displays Versions of these files on the Version tab, when checking the properties for the msert.exe by right-clicking on it:

  32-bit: 1.115.1003.0

  64-bit: 1.115.1006.0

  Perhaps you need to redownload everything in making sure get you only the true Microsoft site.  I just ran a quick scan where the EICAR test file was found, removed and reported on the results of the scan.

  If you still have problems of deleting these 42 files, Microsoft security holders should be able to help:
