    Have AV security attack, have tried
    http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=217373 but link is broken for the RKill.pif and the other three get blocked by the virus, a command screen pops up for a second and then gone. Same thing happens with Task Manager.

    If I call my company IT they will have me ship it back and wipe the drive clean!!

    A second question, I am copying file to a usb stick from a clean computer is it OK to bring it back to clean computer after moving RKILL and other needed files?


    Thanks again in advance.

    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 aother 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.

    Try doing this:
    Kaspersky Rescue Disk.

    Use another computer to create this disc, then boot the infected machine to this CD. Tell me how that goes.

    Thanks for your help. Eventually I was able to delete my recycle bin and that seemed to be the key. Once it went to sleep and woke up the tray and start button was black but I was able to launch MalwareBytes and correct from there.

    Thanks
