RCMP Ukash virus - no success. Cannot do OTL and aswMBR scan

[scorpio]

Help! I have followed the suggestions and did the Kaspersky rescue disk -but it did not find the virus so I could remove it.

Also, when I tried the My Update Centre to load the latest Anti-Virus definitions, it said "Malfunction - the update source cannot be found"

I see on May 18, a thread with the same issue, but I don't know how to do an OTL scan when I can't get into my computer to perform the steps Kuttus recommends.

I don't know what to do next. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

• 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.

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.
