    Hello there on major geeks, firstly thanks for reading this, also thanks for all the help you have given me in the past, as its work for me.

    I am following the instructions on how to Vista Cleaning Procedure, for the virus called Trojan dns changer, i have managed to run the SUPERAntiSpyware, and it did find a few things, but now i cannot load Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, i have managed to install it, after re naming it following the instructions Rename the downloaded mbam-setup.exe file to mb.exe to help work around certain malware that will block it from being run.
    It will not run a scan at all, it just will not load, up it doesn't even say anything , like there is a problem loading it doesn't even come on the screen loading and say there is a problem loading.
    I am novice but i do follow the instructions, i even printed all the pages off this site to follow the instruction on how to remove malware.
    this Trojan is really bad , its taken my windows explorer over, seem to have better run of it for the moment, on Mozilla , as for anything else nothing. i will not let me open spybot-sd either.
    It is also telling me,the dns is wrong. I know whats causing the problem,its just that i really am stuck, when the things i need to use to remove the problem,will not load.
    hope you understand what i have written, and thanks for any help you mite have for me. Arnie

    thanks for that , didn't realize i had posted it in 2 places. as for doing every step a mean every step, that's all i have done for the last 2 days, i know what i have to do and i follow everything to the letter, i gace done it all before, as i said, i printed out all the things i needed to do and followed them to the letter, i follow it all to the letter.
    however, it still does not solve the problem of why i cannot in either safe mode or normal mode load malwarebytes, even when i have change the file name, I have found some of the problems with the superantispyware, so i am doing what it is telling me to do. It will not load up malwarebytes. I do not have any other computer to use either.
    thank you for letting me know and thanks for the heads up about my double post.

    haha i replied to myself then sorry
    thank you for the advie Domluc, yes it is very frustrating, l i did have this problem before a long time ago, and i used major geeks to help me with that, that is why i printed everything out, and floowed it like i did before, am still on the same computer when i had the problem last time. its hard to post when you have nothing to post, results i mean. its like it don't won't me to repair it, when i do something to try and get rid then it stops me or over rides me. thanks again and yes i have thought about doing the format , i did think about this morning, just don't won't to lose the pictures of my daughter, that's why i need to get it sorted myself.
    i know i need to be patient, i thought i would be able to fix it, like i did last time, the trojan must have gotten stronger. thanks for reading mate, just have to see how i get on!

    take care arnie

    Hiya Domluc i have no problem in answering any questions at all with you, as thats what am here for, to help myself to fix the problem. so no worries with what you ask me.

    to the first question, yes i did run superantispyware today and last night, last night it found 39 problems , but it kept of freezing, today i managed to scan it in safe mode and the modem disconnected. i found 3 things with that scan. so i have to find the log for that?? and send it to malware? , the only reason i have not posted the results is, it says post all th logs at the same time, but i understand now if i need to post it, if i am not getting any further with the problem i have got.

    to question number 2, no i have not used the scans you have just posted , because the problem i have stops me from doing so, so i am unable to get any logs that way,hope that make sense. also my internet connection , keep going off an being taking over by the trojan changer.

    I will not try and do the alternative scan and try and find the post for the log from the superantispyware.

    thnaks for being so quick Arnie :):)

    If you are going thru a router, you will need to reset it to factory settings.

    i understand that , i have an external hard drive m8 which was not plugged in to the tower when i got this virus , so the virus or trojan or whatever isn't in the external hard drive, but i think if i try and move the files of my hard drive to my external hard drive, that i would only pass the virus to the external hard drive then , that way i would lose even more.
    is it possible to move my things from the computers hard drive to my external hard drive, with out the virus going in there to??

    thanks for the answers mate!:)
