MGY.exe

This thread's last reply is from March 2, 2010, 3:32 PM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

I am hit by this malware that I've never encountered before and I cannot remove it. I've attached a combofix text report for your reference. Basically this malware disables all functions like regedit, msconfig, folder view, cmd and even some anti-spyware tool.
I went into safe mode still it boots up. It has a bogus system file Iass.exe , Crss.exe etc but in a different folder written in the registry. However, in safe mode i can view go into regedit and task manager. I disable the process but it keeps on coming again. I delete registry entry it still keeps coming. I even went into windows console manager and use command line to delete but access is denied. I tried to change some visible file its ACL. after which can be deleted in console manager. But the major files are still complete hidden and cannot change the ACL. I created a batch file to use cacls command to give full access but since CMD is disabled, it run for 0.000001 sec and it shuts down cmd. HELP. Please view the Combofix report.
