How to Uninstall MGtools?

bebopdobop · Jul 13, 2008

Hi
I just joined because I had trouble getting rid of some trojan keyloggers. I think that I've gotten rid of everything, but in the process, I installed a quite a number of programs (following the malware removal instructions: thank you!). However I would like to clean things up a little bit. I'm keeping all of the anti spyware programs, but I would like to uninstall MGtools, I just can't figure out how.
If anyone could let me know how that is done, I would be very grateful.
I had my WoW account hacked earlier this week, and while scanning the computer, found lovefly.dll and smart.dll. Hopefully all is back the way it should be. It was quite an ordeal. Thanks for all the help here on the forums.

As I got exactly similar problem I don’t know if I should open a new thread or I could get help here. (In my case it doesn’t work the solution given)

burnet01, open a new thread and list your problem (as well as the make and model of computer and version of windows installed) and if you've tried to fix it, mention what you've tried that did not work.

If you were doing this with the guidance of the malware team you would have had these final instructions (edited for your situation):
If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

We recommed 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 significan amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.

If we used Pocket Killbox during your cleanup, do the below

* Run Pocket Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups

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" /u

Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.

This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.

Delete the C:\combo-fix folder from combofix.

If we user SDFix you can delete all the SDFix related files and folders from your Desktop or whereever you installed it.

If we used SmitFraudFix, you can delete all files and folders related to it now including the c:\rapport.txt log.

If we used VundoFix, you can delete the VundoFix.exe file and the C:\VundoFix Backups folder and C:\vundofix.txt log that was created.

If we had your run FixWareOut, you can delete the Fixwareout.exe file and the C:\fixwareout folder.

If we had you run Avenger, you can delete all files related to Avenger now.

If we had you run RenV.exe, you can delete it and the Log.txt file on your Desktop.

Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.

If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.

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.

Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.

You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip

If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:

Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.

Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.

After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
