I’ve tried Malewarebyte’s Anti-Malware that is said by many people to remove it. It removes it, but keeps on coming back afterwards. I have tried it in safe-mode with no absolute success. I’m looking for an experienced PC user who has come across this malicious virus and has solved it to help me. I’ve also, alternatively used Uniblue RegistryBooster; however, it does not help that much. Please recommend me something in specific to help this problem, not just something in general. This is a serious infection that is troubling me for some about a month now. I’ve researched this problem coming across solutions – they help, but do not rid of it because it keeps coming back! Please do not just recommend just any anti-virus/anti-whatever software without experience of the virus, as it might not absolutely solve the problem for me. So, please take some thought; it is a very crafty, yet troubling virus. Thank you.
I have had this before. And the Malware program has solved it for me at that time. But now it is different and more advance and Malware does some to help, but not the whole 9 yards. I’m afraid that if I only get general help from this, it may not absolutely help me at all. This virus is something one should not underestimate. It seems to be fairly new, so I’m hoping for some experience here and not just an average “hey, use this software!” sort of deal.
You may not know what you are talking about unless you have actually delt with this newly updated virus. All the popular anti-whatever software may have not applied a solution for this yet, so keep that in mind.
The main annoyances are the Internet Explorer pop-ups. I use Firefox as my main browser and have noticed they try to mask themselves as if they are Firefox popups, but they are really spawned from IE. But the major problem is that it seems my computer is experiencing slowdown from this and it’s annoying me very much. The tabs in the taskbar when I open a new instance of something load slowly and it is pretty retarded.
Please don’t be that one that answers my question with a general answer that doesn’t do much. I hope I’m not acting like a picky person (I know I am – but I think righteously so at this point), but I seriously need some experienced help on this. If you’re not at least somewhat experienced in this problem, I’m sorry, but you’re probably just not gonna help much at all. I’ll kudos anyone’s effort – just as long as they take, at least, some thought. If you don’t, I’m afraid it’s really not gonna mean much – at least to me – sorry.
I run Windows XP Professional SP3
Thank you very much for all your thoughtful replies. I really do appreciate it – I do. I’ll try all your suggestions out.
This is a trip! Thanks, Viper. Obviously Malware doesn’t work for me. But the other program you recommended to me works a treat! Hell yeah. I’m glad you exist!
I also had a problem with my windows firewall automatically starting up when windows started. It would be disabled on default for some stupid reason. And now it’s starting up like it should! This is aweomse. I’m finally back to where I think I was. Thanks for helping me kill this Antivirus 2009 sob for me! Mucho gracias!
I also like playing GunZ, and now that game works for me now, too, ’cause it used to be bugged up for this also! Hell yeah! Now I can shoot and kill people!!!! My most favorite game ever! Yes, I’m kinda drunk right now… but oh well!!!! This deserves a celebration!!!! I toast to everyone!!!!
I wish I could set Viper as the best answer, but I guess I’m not that high level to do so on yahoo answers yet! I’m still only lvl 1. dammm it all!!!!
if you have GunZ: The Duel, people have recommended a fix for AVG on Youtube that would fix this for the GameGuard 114 error. but this was not the solution for me at all; i never had avg. but i ironically installed avg in hopes of fixing this just for GunZ, actually – the fix for avg, of course, did nothing at all. so, for you that don’t have avg, and want to DESPERATELY play gunz once again as I did, you may want to try Viper’s fix, which involves running the Super Anti Spyware software. this has fixed it for me, but i don’t know if it will do the same for you…. but, hell, give it a whirl and see what it does. i carelessly ran it without safemode on and rebooted my computer there after, no problem!

Malwarebytes should have worked. I’ve removed it for clients using that.
Another program I know that can remove it is Super Anti Spyware:
So try that. Good luck

Clear your temp files.
I recommend that you go to bleepingcomputer.com in order to remove all traces of malware in your computer. Their tutorial states that if you are still infected, post a thread about your problem there.

If it is that bad, I would just back up your data and reformat and reinstall your operating system. Then make sure you have adequate anti-virus and firewall protection.

I have removed this virus several times using malwarebytes.
Remember, its how you scan. You said you used safe mode, that is correct. Sometimes scanning 2 times does it. This thing hangs on the net and waits for you to reboot and comes back if not completely taken off and you have to start all over.
This is how I do it. If you have done it this way before then you have more than just that, Cause like I said, I have killed that nasty thing a number of times.
*Download, install programs and the get the updates. DO NOT RUN A SCAN YET:
Malwarebytes
Ccleaner (will clean up crap after going online)
(dont install the yahoo toolbar)
*Turn off system restore.
*Then after you have done the install and updates, DISCONNECT from the internet. Pull the plug.
*Next, boot up in safe mode (Tap the F8 key every few seconds as the system boots up until the screen with Safe Mode option appears). Choose the first Safe Mode, not with network.
*Now run the above spyware program. Choose Full scans as oppossed to quick scans for the first time.
Then run CCleaner, I dont analyze, I just choose the Run option. Then run the registry cleaner. I dont back up either.
Reboot and run Ccleaner for any other user.
Run malwarbytes again.
Reboot.
Dont forget to put system restore back on.
Also run CCLEANER AFTER YOU ARE ONLINE all the time (in regular mode). Have every user do this.
Let me know is this doesn’t work, I am curious. If you don’t mind
