I have used it on a few system and although it didn't seem to remove the infected files. You can use the linux desktop on the CD to clean out the files. I don't know how invasive the viruses you have are but it should allow you to clear the system, it may even have a registry editor on it to allow you to clean out the current version/run keys. ]]> Dear god, help me! http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8710&Focus=254083#Comment_254083 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8710&Focus=254083#Comment_254083 Mon, 09 Aug 2010 06:28:36 -0700 Greasemonkey Dear god, help me! http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8710&Focus=254099#Comment_254099 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8710&Focus=254099#Comment_254099 Mon, 09 Aug 2010 07:29:37 -0700 Kelind
All of the above advice is correct and good, the only addition to software suggestions I have is Adaware, which is free as well. However, I suggest burning your system completely with a full reformat, which is what angotango suggested.


@Greasemonkey

Wouldn't that be great! I'd love to know about something that protects from these. ]]> Dear god, help me! http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8710&Focus=254101#Comment_254101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8710&Focus=254101#Comment_254101 Mon, 09 Aug 2010 07:38:28 -0700 James Puckett While we're at it, does anyone know a good utility for preventing beacon spyware from being installed automatically by websites?

Then make sure it doesn't happen again - as well as AVG I run Spybot Search & Destroy and Zone Alarm (both can be had for free) but also a good tip is to make sure you only have admin rights set on a separate admin account (that you only use when needed - I hardly ever user it, but keep the password handy) and keep all the general accounts set as normal users, that way nasty things will struggle to install anything or altering settings. ]]> Dear god, help me! http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8710&Focus=254226#Comment_254226 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8710&Focus=254226#Comment_254226 Mon, 09 Aug 2010 18:11:05 -0700 Finagle
0. Optionally set your DNS settings to use OpenDNS.com as your DNS servers. This will help prevent reinfection during and after cleaning.
1. Grab yourself a copy of the Antimalware Toolkit from here. Put it on a USB stick. Use it to download all the installers you will need for the later steps. Also grab a copy of Firefox Portable. Copy all to USB stick.
2. Boot into Safe Mode. (Tap F8 repeatedly on bootup), disconnect from any network.
3. Run CCleaner with everything but Wipe Free Space enabled.
4. Run Combofix. Follow its advice to (a) install the Recovery Console and (b) disable any realtime scanning in your antivirus program.
5. Let Combofix finish fully, then install and run Malwarebytes and do a Full Scan.
6. If Malwarebytes comes up with anything, also then run Superantispyware.
7. Reconnect to network, test Internet, Run full Windows Update, install all critical updates. If IE is broken, you can use the Firefox Portable to grab a full IE installer.
8. Update all Adobe products - Flash, Acrobat, Shockwave. Get rid of Acrobat if you can.

If this whole sequence doesn't work, follow this procedure to remove a variant called TDSS that Combofix doesn't get.

Afterwards, sign up for OpenDNS. It is the most effective way to stop malware at your perimeter. Basic version is completely free. ]]> Dear god, help me! http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8710&Focus=254273#Comment_254273 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8710&Focus=254273#Comment_254273 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 01:03:54 -0700 Lazarus99
