Question on malware removal in safe mode...

Alright,
So I booted up into safe mode and it did take a bit. But once I got it running, I couldnt run any scanning/removal tools. I have one of this " Must scan your computer, its infected " malware thingys. Its icon is the windows shield, ya know to make it look legit haha.

ANyways, I thought in safemode you could scan and open tools. Did they find a way to not allow that now? I cannot open and scan, When I open it, it just closes automatically.

Any idea on what to do or where to start?

 

I was doing more reading online and someone said to use norton power eraser.. Doubt it will work, but Im going to see if I can get that to scan.

 

Damn, It loaded adn started to scan but then got shut down.

 

Affirmative: go through the steps listed in the Malware Forum's Read & Run Me First thread and attach all required logs to a new thread in that forum.

Good luck!

 

Well ya see the thing is I cannot get anything to work or run.. hmm.

 

Download avast!, transfer the program to the problem machine and install it, and schedule a boot scan - it's been my experience that avast! can usually clean enough to get the machine to a state where other tools can be used in Safe Mode.

 

cool cool!
