yesterday my pc was hit with the security system virus and all hell has broken loose!
through a lot of forum and internet browsing i was able to get into safe mode with networking and find the files that are associated with this virus and remove them... after rebooting all seemed fine, but I decided i'd download stopzilla (which the site i was reading recommended)... after i found out about the charge, i decided to download malwarebyte and use that as it seemed to be the hot ticket... unfortunately i was redirected to something called malwarebot.... and didn't catch this till after i downloaded and installed it... i don't believe it caused further damage, but i realized i was not rid of this virus yet
since then it has gotten worse... i was able to download and install super anti spyware, but if i try to run the program it won't allow me, not even in safe mode with networking
i placed a copy of malwarebyte on a cd and renamed the .exe file and tried to run it to no avail
i've tried changing the combatability to windows 2000 and run it as i've read that works and still nothing
i finally downloaded avira recovery cd and tried it and it found some files, but was not able to remove any of them
i am at the point where i can not do anything on my pc to fix it... if i search malwarebyte in google the browser closes... if i try to get to any site that can potentially help me by providing me software the browser closes
i'm at the point i believe reformatting is the only choice, i know if i could provide a hjt it would help, but as stated the browser closes if i try to download it
any help or advice would be great
thanks
