This Virus hides in system restore ....

anyone who gets infected must not reboot pc , you will see the pop up and most people hold down the power button thinking it will go away but your allowing it in further .. thats when it makes things really hard ...

I got this today and all I did was select ctrl-alt-del and end task firefox manually ...

I then went to system restore and turned it off .. I then updated malware bytes antispyware free edition .. and did a quick scan and after 5 mins had 2 threats which I then removed and rebooted pc ...

If you can attack the virus/spyware before it can write itself to your registry and start up you can fix this issue in minutes.

I am running win 7 enterprise with microsoft essentials and malware antispyware free edition ..

If you do what I have said and you happen to get reinfected follow my steps ... will save you alot of stress .. lol

Hi and welcome to the malwaretips.com forums!

I'm Kuttus and I am going to try to assist you with your problem. Please take note of the below:
  • I will start working on your malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
  • The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine!
  • The process is not instant. Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine is clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
  • If you don't know, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
  • Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
  • Refrain from running self fixes as this will hinder the malware removal process.
  • It may prove beneficial if you print of the following instructions or save them to notepad as I post them.
Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.


Before we start:
Please be aware that removing malware is a potentially hazardous undertaking. I will take care not to knowingly suggest courses of action that might damage your computer. However it is impossible for me to foresee all interactions that may happen between the software on your computer and those we'll use to clear you of infection, and I cannot guarantee the safety of your system. It is possible that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system, or to necessitate you taking your computer to a repair shop.

Because of this, I advise you to backup any personal files and folders before you start.
