Download TDSSKiller from Kaspersky to your directly onto your Desktop

• Now double click the TDSSkiller.exe file to run it ( if using Vista or Windows 7 do not double click on it but rather, right click and select Run As Administrartor. )
• If TDSSKiller does not run, try renaming it. To do this, right-click on TDSSKiller.exe, select Rename and give it a random name with the .com file extension (i.e. 123tdk.com).
  • If you do not see the file extension, please refer to: How to view hidden, system files & folders!

You're welcome. Just delete the below files and then onto final instructions.

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
   • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
   • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /uninstall
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
3. Go back to step 6 oof the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
6. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
8. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders
   related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of the READ ME
     for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
   • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

Random names that scanners give to infections are almost of no use at all to us. We need to know what files or registry keys and exactly where they are located. Many times with this like you mentioned, you just need to empty your browser and Java caches to cleanup the junk that gets collected over time. Examples below.


Now let's flush the Java Cache

• Click Start > Settings > Control Panel
• Double click the Java icon (be patient, it may take a while to open)
• Now click the General tab and under the Temporary Internet File area
• Click the Settings button and then click the Delete Files... button.
• In the next popup click OK.

If you have multiple Java plugin icons in Control Panel follow the above to clear all their caches.


Now let's flush the FireFox Cache
To flush your FireFox Cache:

• click Tools
• select Options
• select Privacy
• in the section labeled Private Data click Clear Now
  

Now let's flush the Internet Explorer Cache
To flush your Internet Explorer Cache:

• click Tools
• Internet Options
• Now on the General tab and click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too
• Click OK.
• When it finishes Click OK.

Now run Ccleaner!
