    Hi, well i was on google, looking for visualbasic scripts. And i click on one of the search results. It asks me if i want to download some wmf file. I was gonna click no, but my mouse like usual messes up, and it clicks open. next thing you know i relize i opened up a windows fax file, and when i boot up my new laptop in the morning it is sudenly infected with that smirt downloader thing, and i find some new icons on my desktop one being virusbursters.

    So now it keeps on telling me what it silently installed, and displays it like its an anti-virus program trying to help me, asking me to install "official antivirus programs"

    Help me if possible, i saw someone with the same problum a coulpe days ago.

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    To start the removals process as in the majority of the time, one malware installs are few various types to keep you infected, so please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    • Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

    Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.


    • When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
      • CounterSpy - ONLY IF you were not able to run Windows Defender
      • Bitdefender - from step 6
      • Panda Scan - from step 6
      • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
      • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
      • HijackThis
    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!


    Once these logs are attached our malware gurus can assist you in the removal of the pest.
