  Hello, sorry I upset you date January 31, not very good is not. It's the fake MS Vista security 2012 malware virus. In fact, they hitted me 6 months ago 3 months ago there are one and a half months. Last 3 times I was deleted with success in safemode with network mode, find my access to the internet, and then used a free software called malwarebytes AND went ahead for a restoration of the system. * This time I can't. Restoring the system returned a pop-up says: System Restore has failed. Computer system files and settings yr did not change. Details: the restore point was damaged or removed during the restoration. I tried 3 times, still getting the same answer. Mean I can not turn the defender of the window and firwall turn it back on. I tried the Microsoft safety scanner, showed 1 viruses, deleted, but no use. I tried Microsoft security essential, problem got worse! In addition, they * the shortcut on my desktop, some people work while others do not, takes me for a location or a different software. Help, please! Here is my laptop spec: Vista Ultimate, 32 bit. RAM 4 GB, Hard drive about 350 GB I / E browser 8.0 and firefox. Thank you

  Hello

• How to force remove a virus/malware process/file in the temp folder?

  I am sure that I met a virus/malware and she had tried several times to enter a first time (that I had said no to the permission of windows) in my hard drive and then hours later, something was repeatedly asking me to upload a file to my computer I say also to cancel. I never met this kind of behaviour before. I also tried to remove some very similar processes/files in the temp folder immediately when he arrived, but these same files name would not remove. They were not the debug log files. And I've never seen these files before. How can I force malicious deleting something like this will not remove like regular temporary files that are.

  YOU CAN NOT JUST DELETE.  You must run Malwarebytes.

  How to remove the FBI Moneypak Virus / Malware that was blocking the PC requires the payment of 100 Dollars?

  Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode.  Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan mode without failure.  To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode.  Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem.  To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore.  Click on the box that says show more restore points.
  -
  You can check the corrupted system files.  Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE, then click on run as administrator. Then from the command prompt, type sfc/scannow.
  -
  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log.  To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools.  Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.
  `
  When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and it puts regular periodic updates.

• Virus Malware Trojans and other junk

  Okay, so, it is true that I am not a Mac person, gasp, but here comes a true unbiased.

  I helped a member of the family rebuild a MacBook Pro using a USB stick to boot and install the latest version of El Capitan.  I was helping to restore the data literally 48 hours later and to my surprise, that the machine was infected with two pieces of malware (which was visible) 'Advanced Mac Cleaner' and 'ZipClould '.  It is interesting ZipCloud himself had placed in the dock bar, replacing a similar looking cloud storage service.

  So clearly the machine has been compromised, and it was easier to rebuild than to go on the road to 'cleaning up' at this stage.

  How can I avoid this happening again?  I can't look over the shoulder 24 x 7, but there should be a way to avoid this.

  Mac users often ask if they should install "anti-virus" (AV) or software "anti-malware". The answer is 'no', but it can give the false impression that there is no threat of what is loosely called 'virus '. There is a threat.

  1. it is a comment on what you should - and should not-do to protect you from malicious software ("malware") that runs on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions.

  It does not apply to the software, such as keyloggers, which can be installed deliberately by an intruder who has convenient access to the computer, or who has been able to take control of it remotely. This threat is in a different category, and there is no easy way to defend against it. AV software is not intended to and does not, to defend against these attacks.

  The comment is long because the issue is complex. The essential points are in articles 5 and 11.

  OS X implements now three levels of integrated protection specifically against malware, not to mention the protections of runtime such as quarantine the file, execute disable, sandbox, protecting the integrity of system, System Library randomization and randomized address space layout , which can also prevent other kinds of exploits.

  2. all versions of Mac OS X 10.6.7 were able to detect the malware Mac known in downloaded files and block non-secure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Apple calls internally it "XProtect."

  The malware used by XProtect recognition database is automatically updated. However, you should not count on it, because the attackers are still at least a day before the defenders.

  The following restrictions apply to XProtect:

  ☞ circumvented by some third-party network software, such as the BitTorrent clients and Java applets.

  ☞ It applies only to software downloaded on the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not verified.

  As new versions of Mac OS X are available, it is not clear whether Apple will continue indefinitely maintain the older versions such as 10.6 XProtect database. Versions of obsolete systems security may eventually be affected. Updates to security for the code of obsolete systems will be stop being released at any given time, and which can leave them open to other types of attack in addition to malware.

  3. starting with the OS X 10.7.5, there was a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and installation packages downloaded from the network will be run only if they are digitally signed by a developer to a certificate issued by Apple. Certified software in this way has not been checked for safety by Apple, unless it comes to the App Store, but you can be reasonably sure that it has not been changed by someone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so it could be held legally responsible if it distributes malicious software. Which may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below).

  Access controller does not depend on a database of known malware. He has, however, the same limitations as XProtect and in addition the following:

  ☞ It can easily be turned off or overridden by the user.

  ☞ A malware attacker could find a way around it, or could take control of a certificate of signing of code under false pretenses or could simply ignore the consequences of the distribution of malware Tryggvason.

  ☞ Developer App store could find a way around the Apple control, or the control may fail due to human error.

  Apple took too long to revoke some known attackers codesigning certificates, thus diluting the value of the keeper and the program developer ID. These variances do not involve the App Store products, however.

  For the reasons given, App Store, and, to a lesser extent - other applications recognized by signed Gatekeeper, are safer than others, but they cannot be considered to be absolutely sure. "Sand" applications could make to access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think that before granting access. Security sandbox is based on user input. Never click through any application for leave without thinking.

  4. by starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background. He checks and removes, malware that corresponds to a database of recognition held by Apple. To ensure that MRT will be executed when the database is updated, the App Store tab in system preferences and check the box marked

  Install the system data files and security updates

  If it is not already done.

  As XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against strangers. It alerts you if it detects malware, but otherwise, it has no user interface.

  5. the built-in Mac OS x security features reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not and will never be complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, not a behavior machine, and none only of technological solution will solve. Software protect you from trust only will make you more vulnerable.

  The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. Except perhaps feats of Java, all the known malware, circulating on the Internet wearing reached a completely setting installation to update to OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojans", which may have no effect if the victim is deceived in their execution. The threat thus amounts to a battle of wits between you and cybercriminals. If you are better informed, they think you are, you win. In effect, it means that you always stay in the shelter of practical computing. How do you know when you leave the safe harbor? Here are a few signs warning of danger.

  Software from a reliable source

  ☞ Software with a brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, does not come directly from the Web site. Don't be fooled an alert of any website for updating Flash, or your browser, or other software. A real alert that Flash is outdated and blocked is shown on this support page. In this case, follow the instructions on the support page. Furthermore, assume that the alert is false and that someone is trying to rip you off to install malicious software. If you see these alerts on more than one Web site, ask for instructions.

  ☞ Software any is distributed via BitTorrent or Usenet, or on a Web site that distributes pirated music and movies.

  ☞ Rogue sites Web such as CNET Download MacUpdate, Soft32, Softonic and SourceForge distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "install".

  ☞ The software is advertised through spam or intrusive web ads. Any announcement, on any site, which includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.

  Software that is clearly illegal or doing something illegal

  Commercial software ☞ high-end such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."

  ☞ An application helps you violates copyright law, for example to circumvent the copy protection on a commercial software, or streamed media recording to be reused without permission. All the 'YouTube downloaders' are in this category, but not all are necessarily malicious.

  Conditional or unsolicited offer from strangers

  ☞ A phone calling or a web page you indicates that you have a "virus" and offers to remove. (Some reputable sites warned visitors who have been infected with the malware "DNSChanger" legitimately. The exception to this rule applies.)

  ☞ A web site offers a free content like music or video, but for use, you must install a "codec", 'plug-in', 'player' 'Downloader', 'extractor', or 'certificate' which comes from the same site, or a stranger.

  ☞ You win a prize in a competition that you are never entered.

  ☞ someone on a forum like this is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of your choice.

  ☞ a 'FREE WI - FI!' network presents itself in a public place like an airport, but is not provided by management.

  ☞ Online everything that you expect to pay is 'free '.

  Unexpected events

  ☞ a file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, without any further action on your part. delete any file without opening it.

  ☞ You open what you think, it is a document and you receive an alert that it is "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you still need to delete any file that is not what you expected it to be.

  ☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as permission to access your contacts, your location or the Internet without obvious reason.

  ☞ Software is attached to the email you na not ask, even if it is (or seems to come) by a person of trust.

  I do not leave the safe harbour that once will necessarily lead to disasters, but make a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malicious software attacks. None of the above scenarios must, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.

  6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it is not related, despite the similarity of names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform to run complex applications in a web page. That was always a bad idea, and Java developers have proved unable to apply it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been a type virus Windows affecting OS X. simply load a page with Java malicious content could be harmful.

  Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is outdated and largely disappeared. Only a few outdated sites still use it. Try to accelerate the process of extinction by avoiding these sites, if you have a choice. Forget to play games or other uses not Java essentials.

  Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later versions. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and Oracle (the developer of Java). Do not use one unless you need it. Most of the people don't. If Java is installed, turn it off- not the JavaScript in your browser.

  Whatever the version, experience has shown that Java on the Web is not reliable. If you must use a Java applet for a job on a specific site, Enable Java only for the site in Safari. Never activate Java for a public Web site that carries the third-party advertising. Use only on websites that are well known, protected by login and secure without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you will see a padlock icon in the address bar when you visit a secure site.

  7. another perennial weak point is Adobe Flash Player. Like Java, Flash is declining well deserved, but content Flash is still much more widespread than the contents of Java on the Web. If you choose to install the Flash plugin, you can reduce your exposure to Flash by checking the box marked

  Stop the plug-ins to save energy

  in the Advanced tab of the preferences of Safari window, if not already done. Consider also installing an extension Safari as "ClickToFlash" or "ClickToPlugin." They will prevent the Flash content automatically load and are initially not Flash video is substituted for Flash on YouTube and perhaps a few other sites. I tested the extensions and found them safe, but you should always do your own research before you decide whether to trust any third party software.

  8. remain within the sphere of security, and you will be as safe from malware you can be practically. The rest of this comment is what you must do to protect you.

  Never install any AV or products 'Internet security' for Mac if you have a choice, because they are all worse than useless. If you are required by a (wrong) institutional policy to install some kind of AV, choose one of the free apps in the Mac App Store, nothing else.

  Why you should not use products AV?

  ☞ To recognize malware, software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least one day to day. This technique is a proven failure, as a major supplier of AV software has admitted. Most of the attacks are "zero-day" - that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry comes to realize that the traditional AV software is worthless.

  ☞ design is based generally on the nonexistent threat that malware can be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; He is not of the blue leaves. To meet this threat does not exist, a commercial AV software changes or low level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a frequent cause of instability, bugs, poor performance, and duplicates.

  ☞ changing the operating system, the software can also create weaknessesthat could be exploited by malicious attackers.

  ☞ especially, a false sense of security is dangerous. This fact relates to all AV software it will never be any changes elsewhere.

  9. a free AV product from the Mac App Store is safe as long as you don't let it delete or move files. Ignore all the warnings that it can give you on "heuristic" or "phishing." These warnings, if they are not simply false positives, see the text of e-mail messages or updates cached web pages, not malware.

  An AV application is not necessary and may not be invoked for protection against malware for OS X. It is useful, or even not at all, only to detect malware Windows and even for this use it is not really effective, because the new Windows malware makes its appearance much faster than OS X malware.

  Windows malware cannot hurt you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows). Just do not pass to someone else. A malicious link in the e-mail is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. A concrete example:

       London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe

  You don't need software to tell you it's a horse Trojan for Windows. Software may be able to tell what trojan is, but who cares? In practice, there is no reason to use a recognition software, unless an organizational strategy requires. Malware Windows is so widespread that you must assume that it is in each attachment until proof to the contrary. Nevertheless, a free AV product on the App Store can serve a purpose if it fulfills a misinformed network administrator that says you must have some sort of application AV. An App Store product will not change the operating system; in fact, it does nothing, unless you run it.

  If you are just curious to know if a file is considered malware by the AV engines, you can download it from the "VirusTotal" site, where it will be tested against most of them without charge. A negative result is evidence of what whether, for the reasons given above. I do not recommend doing this with a file that may contain private information.

  10. There seems to be a common belief that the firewall Application acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents operation of malware. He does not. It blocks incoming connections to some network services you are using, such as file sharing. It is disabled by default, and you should leave it like that if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate only when you are on an untrusted network, for example a public Wi - Fi hotspot, where you do not want to provide services. Disable services that you don't use in the sharing preferences window. All are disabled by default.

  11. as a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected whenever you install the software, read emails, or visit a web page. But nor can you assume that you will always be free from exploitation, no matter what you do. Internet browsing, it's like walking the streets of a big city. It can be as safe or as dangerous that you choose to do so. The greatest harm done by software AV is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They can then feel sufficiently safe to take risks, which the software does not protect them. Nothing can reduce the need for safe computing practices.

• What is the prevalence of viruses, malware, etc., to be hidden and undetectable by anti-virus software?

  • As before, when my computer when my computer has been infected, I get a svchost.exe error, repeatedly, whenever I restart the computer. The infection has been discovered that the last time by my anti-virus software, because it was hidden.  It was a computer expert on this forum who told me my computer was infected by svchost.exe repeated error messages that I received.  I ran my Avast software, anti-malware software from MSFT Security Center, Win Defender, etc. this time, and it has detected no infections.  (Yes, I know what to do to pass this message means not necessarily my computer is infected, but the tech guy said that it is likely, given that the error message appeared on several occasions).  How detect and destroy the virus/malware hidden, etc?
  • Also, if anyone can answer another question... I was told that it is not recommended that I have two programs of anti-virus software, which I do - Win Defender and Avast (I guess they may conflict).  I tend to want to keep Avast, but would like to know if I have to keep Win Defender instead, because it is a Win a Win system program.  If I've got this me getting rid of one of them, is it recommended that I both uninstall and then reinstall one of them?

  A person help would be appreciated!

  Thnx, Dharma

  WHAT I HAVE: Win XP Media Center, MS Office 7 Professional (used at home), IE8, Outlook 7, HP w / 32-bit dual core processor, latest version of Avast & Win Defender, Srvc Pack 2 and 3 (although I know that I don't need 3 because I have not upgraded to Win 7, but it won't let me uninstall it!) and regularly updates Win.

  PS Please ask questions if you have, before you answer, so it will be less likely that I'll get the wrong answers that don't relate directly my questions! (Can say you that has already happened?  (LOL).

  You pouvez have a type of rootkit of malware infection.  Rootkits can transform and change of identity on your OS (and are difficult to detect and remove) and many computing professionals recommend a reinstall of the operating system in order to ensure that the rootkit is removed.

  Follow the suggestions in the Brian - post.  The link that he provided is an excellent reference.   If you have a rootkit, TDSS Killer or one of the other programs listed pourrait be able to remove it.

  Or get assistance from Avast at: http://www.avast.com/support

  You have SP3 on your Win XP OS and if you plan to switch to Win 7 make sure that your processor and RAM will manage Win 7... with your history of technology issues a reformatting/clean install of Win 7 would be a good idea.  Because of the possibility of conflicts, I do not recommend using Windows Defender with Avast or any other resident AV program.  Suggest uninstall you Windows Defender in Control Panel.  MSE and several other AV programs require the removal of Windows Defender in XP (or disabling the Defender in Vista and Win 7).

• Help! Can I re - install Windows XP after a virus / Malware crash?

  Basically, my laptop picked up what appears to be a boat load of virus / malware of some link and has started flashing upward with safety messages, then adobe flash crashed... then the entire closed system.

  Now, when I turn on all I get is a black screen says:

  "Missing or damaged file:

  \System32.HAL.D11.

  Please re - install a copy of the above file. »

  But as the laptop computer does not respond, I don't know what to do... is it completely kaput, or is it possible to save her?

  Thank you!

  You can consider starting another thread/topic just for your problem if things don't mix with Tarkin75 (Tarkin75 has a different problem).

  If your system starts without complaining and you are just having trouble getting on the Internet, here are some things to check after relieving your system of malware:

  We will check your network connection properties.

  Some malware will alter these settings and your anti malware software can't tell if you have changed the malware changed them or so, after removal of infections, it will leave just the settings as he finds them (it is usually a good thing), but can leave your disabled Internet access.
   
  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  Inetcpl.cpl

  Click OK to launch the Internet Properties Control Panel, choose connections, LAN settings.

  Or, in Internet Explorer click on tools, Options, connections, LAN settings.

  These settings control your Internet access for all browsers.

  (If you make settings, write them down so you can undo changes if you must)

  On most environments, not independent, there will be check automatically detect settings and the other boxes are (as Proxy Server) is disabled.

  Automatically detect the setting checked =
  Use the automatic configuration script = unchecked
  Use a proxy server for your LAN = not checked

  Make changes, then click OK, OK to save the settings.

  Check your settings for how your network adapter gets its IP and DNS settings.  On most home systems, these parameters must be defined for the system will get the settings automatically.

  If you have another system on your network that works, you can compare these settings with the settings of the system which is not a work and make adjustments.

  Click Start, settings, Control Panel, network connections, and then select your current network connection.

  On the general tab, click Properties.

  In the drop down in the Middle, find and highlight the selection of Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.

  In the Internet Protocol Properties window, the usual selections are to get the IP and DNS settings automatically.  Select the following two options:

  Obtain an IP address automatically
  Get a DNS server address automatically

  The rest of the options on the screen should then be grayed out/not available.

  Make changes, then click OK, OK to save the settings.

  Restart your computer and test your connection.

  If it still does not work, check your settings are still in place after a restart and then release and renewal IP of your network device configuration settings.

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window, and then type the following commands:

  ipconfig/release
  ipconfig / renew
  output

  Restart your computer and test your connection.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

  I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

• just got one of these warnings "fake virus/malware" 06/06/2001 - must be quite new to cross safety essentials

  just got one of these "fake virus/malware" warnings and a click here to remove I've seen before over the years.  I did a screen pring and disconnected my network cable and rebooted.  Would like to send my impression of screed to someone who might be able to track down.  It must be quite new if my safety at day missed.  It would be so nice to take one of these jerks in jail who create such things.  Anyway, the site allegedly attached to this was:

  First of all, I am secular computer. I don't know that much about the techinical stuff. I have XP Proffesional and it comes to my personal home computer (not network). I have McAfee Security Center, continuous coverage since the purchase of the computer. Shows, I am currently protected (protection of firewall etc.) and did not have to never had a gap in protection. I also have Windows Defender, but he is turned off, (not by me, but apparently by a Trojan horse in the recent past) makes sense as I have'nt noticed window updates recently. I have not tried to reactivate it.
  From 19/10/09, has received many attacks of malware/spyware via pop ups, diverted goggle searches. I started running full scans of McAfee. Each time, it was to find different typs of Trojans (Vundo, generic false Alert, Artemis, Spy Agent, DNSChanger) more have been quarantined, some fixed, some "cannot be removed.
  After an unsuccessful attempt to communicate with McAfee, I came across this web site (yesterday 10/25). After reseaching, I found that my "Windows Automatic Updates" has been disabled. After trying to reactivate it in Run-abuse, he would return to people with disabilities. I then ran the MS onecare live scan.

  I was then able to reactivate my "Windows Automatic Updates' Run-services and have'nt had a problem 'disabled' with him since (knock wood). Butttt, I get a RUNDLL error pop now everytme I turn my computer and connection. The pop-up reads as follows:
  "error loading C\windows\system32\tayanage.dll. The specified module could not be found.
  Today (Monday 10/26), I read the thread "how to get rid of malware. I ran a scan of ESET. He finds 1 threat: 'a variant of win32/kryptic.ahr Trojan' and quarantined it. He gave me the option to remove and I did.
  My next step is to follow the instructions of Vincenzo DiRusso from his post of 09/05/09 to get rid of my problem of malicious program.
  Well that did not mention his instructions to restart my computer in "safe mode", I tried and after promting to do this, I got the "Blue Screen of Death" with the message: "a problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer. Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to ensure that it is properly configured and completed. Run chk, f (which I tried in the form of execution and chk, f could not be found) to check the alteration of the hard drive and then restart your computer. Technical information: * stop: 0x0000007b (0XF8A0F524, 0 x 0000034, 0 x 00000000, 0 x 00000000 ".")
  Is this OK to continue with malware removal steps of Mr. Di Russo without my computer in safe mode?
  I would have no worries to go protected pages (bank accounts credit card etc.) before performing this malicious software removal process?
  If I get my computer get rid of this malware problem, I have to keep my McAfee
  coverage will? I see the free Microsoft Essentials protection option. Is this better? I can run both on my computer? Or do I go with my current McAfee and Windows Defender (WD) as I had before or instead of WD, go with McAfee and something like Previx.
  Thanks in advance,
  Jack

  I do not recommend McAfee products. I recommend, for a (commercial) NOD32 antivirus, Avast or Avira (free versions available). MS Security Essentials is an antivirus/antispyware program good base. It is not my first choice, but that's OK. However, none of them doesn't help right now and you cannot install a new antivirus on an infected computer.

  You're infected with Trojan Vundo. These are often extremely difficult to clean and protected by a rootkit. McAfee is unable to do so.

  I suggest that you either get guided help to one of the specialty forums listed in the link below OR back up your data and do a clean restore OR Windows install/factory take your computer to a professional. If you go the latter route, do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place.

• Have a virus/malware and cannot open windows mail and how export/copy the measages

  I should have gotten a virus/malware/trojan, which affects the connection and does not allow me to open the control panel, or windows mail.

  I need to know how to copy/backup/export the e-mail messages that are still there. Of course, I can't use the export function since I can't open windows mail.

  Hello

  You can view these methods:

   
  Method 1:
   
  I suggest you make a system full scan just to be sure and check.

  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 harder 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

  Yes.

  But I highly recommend against Norton. In my opinion, this is one of the
  worst choice of security software. For an anti-virus program, I have
  recommend eSet NOD32, if you are willing to pay for it. If you want a
  free anti-virus, I recommend one of the following three:
   
  Avira
  Avast
  Microsoft Security Essentials
   
  You also need anti-spyware software. I recommend that you download and
  (both freeware) to install MalwareBytes AntiMalware and
  SuperAntiSpyware.
