    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    Download MsnVirRem.exe to your desktop.
    • First close any other programs you have running as this will require a reboot
    • Double click MsnVirRem.exe to run it
    • Once open, click the button labeled Search and Destroy Your computer will now be scanned for Infected Files
    • When scanning is finished you will be prompted to reboot only if infected, Click OK
    • Now click the REBOOT Button.
    • After the Reboot, you will receive file not found errors! Please acknowledge them and continue.
    • A Message should popup from MsnVirRem if not, double click the program again and it will finish.
    • Please attach the C:\msnvirrem.log to your next message
    • Now download this file - combofix.exe by sUBs
    • Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
    • When finished, it will produce a log for you. Attach this log to your next reply
    Note:
    Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.


    How are things working now? If you still have problems, your next steps will be to continue on thru all of the below!

    Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, renaming, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    • Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.

    • When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
      • CounterSpy
      • AVG Antispyware log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy
      • Bitdefender - from step 6
      • Panda Scan - from step 6
      • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
      • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
      • HijackThis
    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!
