    I had been infected with the Anitvirus system pro malware, was not able to run any programs or get any webpage other than the maleware site. I ran Rkill to stop it so I could remove it. When I ran rkill it disabled my ability to load web pages as well. I assumed after I got rid of it I would be able to load pages again. I run malwarebytes and it removed it but came back on startup, same with superantispyware. I tried the Hijackthis startup analyzer and it found a rpbgsysguard.exe file (spelling of first few letters may be off). I removed that thinking it was the spyware, I am able to startup fine, malware is gone but can't open web pages.

    IE opens but it gives me page cannot be displayed. I am on a home wireless network, have confirmed it is connected properly and my computer is connected to it. The funny thing is I was able to install windows updates from the icon at the bottom, I installed IE 8 thinking a reinstall of internet explorer would help but nothing. I also installed xp3 thinking that might do it but nothing again.

    I would so much appreciate any help. Thanks.

    if you were able to run both SAS and MBAM then please continue on with the other steps and tools in the R&R which I shall link to for reference below:

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please read ALL of this message including the notes before doing anything.

    Pleases follow the instructions in the below link:

    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


    and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
    • **** If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. ****
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not. MGtools will frequently run even when all other tools will not.

    • After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!
    Helpful Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
    3. If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes while logged into this other user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account. If you can then run SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ComboFix and MGtools on the infected account as requested in the instructions.
    4. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:
    Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.


    I require logs from the following:

    • SUPERantispyware
    • Malware Bytes
    • Combofix
    • MGTools

    If you aren't able to do something note it down and move onto the next step.
