    Well, perhaps I spoke to soon. I went through all the steps and it seemed to work well, however now we are getting random redirects in both IE and Mozilla. You try to go to valid URL and you get redirected somewhere you don’t want to go. Any suggestions?

    Just wanted to let you know, Hitman build 171 won’t give you the 30-day trial option. D/l’d it to fix a user’s scareware problem, but it wouldn’t allow me to proceed without buying a license. I used the log file it created to delete the malware files manually and uninstalled Hitman.

    So today I grabbed a flash drive and went to a friends computer to download the tools in the above list. When I tried to power on the infected computer and boot to safe mode, every time I hit F8 the computer rebooted. Very much like the key had somehow been remapped to the reset function. This virus must have gotten an update.

        Hi Stelian,

        My problem now is the lack of Internet connection. Malware bytes will not run because it can’t update, which is basically the same problem the other programs have as well. I believe if I could figure out how to repair Internet connectivity I would be able to follow the other steps.

    Yes I am another who caught this rather nasty virus! I had the pop ups as above article. It even managed to screw up my all important Acronis backups making recovery impossible. I managed to do a recovery eventually and all I had to do is skate to step 7 as my files were hidden (greyed out). After this I did another recovery and all is good now, so thanks! :-)

    Just got this virus. Please excuse my simple language as I’m not an advanced user. I tried to start my computer in safe mode but it won’t reboot at all. The Dell screen comes up and the white bar progresses across the bottom of the screen and then the screen goes black with the cursor in the upper left corner of the screen. You can’t type anything. If I press or tap the F8 key during the startup process or if I just try to let it start up regularly the same thing happens. It just won’t boot. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

      If your computer is not booting at all and its just showing a white tab on the top left corner this means your computer regonises that it should boot with your hard drive but there are no boot files to boot!So you will need to go a step further to boot your machine. Remove your hard drive and put it into an external hard drive case. connect it to another machine as a usb drive. You will see that it will show u the size of your hard drive but with no files.

      go to cmd as administrator and go into the hard drve.
      C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\ f: (Enter)
      f:\
      under the dir type attrib *. -h -s /s /d

      f:\ attrib *. -h -s /s /d

      that should unhide your boot files. if u can now see them , mount your hard drive back then do Stelian Pilici ‘s steps to remove the virus

    Many thanks for the detailed and helpful instructions. I could have followed the “normal” route by paying someone for data recovery and reformatting my computer then reloading all the programmes and files which would have been a real pain and expensive. Instead, my computer is in perfect working order now after about 1.5 hours of work. It is so generous of you to share.

    Hi, Just wanted to say thanks for posting this. I too had to use the final ComboFix and Eset option and it still wasn’t completely gone (still had a desktop icon and a folder in all programs) I manually deleted the last bit and my computer seems to be working fine. I am running McAfee any idea how this can get by Security Software?

    Also, how do I uninstall Rkill and unhide?

    Thanks again!

      Hello Miranda,
      You can just delete Rkill and Unhide,and you should also uninstall Combofix.

      1. Hold down the Windows key + R on your keyboard. This will display the Run dialogue box
      2. In the Run box, type in ComboFix /Uninstall (Notice the space between the “x” and “/”) then click OK
      3. Follow the prompts on the screen
      4. A message should appear confirming that ComboFix was uninstall
      5. Delete the following folders: (If they exist)
        C:\ComboFix
        C:\Qoobox

      Enjoy your Malware FREE computer!And yI would also suggest that you replace McAfee with another antivirus…….Avast 7 Free is a good security product,you should really try it.
