My computer is also infected. I followed the steps here and after some problems I reached step 3 and could install MalwareBytes. When I run the scan, it detects 6 infected files and then it just closes the window. So, I guess the virus prevents the program to complete the scan. Is that possible? So, I can’t even \
Sorry, the rest of my message was: I cannot fix any problems. The window just disappears. Thanks for your help!
Alex, then follow these steps.
i cannot even make it to this page on my infected computer, i keep getting interupted by my screen asking to buy the virus software remover plz help asap
Jordan, reboot your in the Safe mode with networking (read the article: How to reboot computer in Safe mode, but select second option in the Advanced Options Menu). In the mode follow above steps again.

Kim, use another computer or ask your friend to download and send you, through email, these programs.

Dan, read my previous comment or ask for help at our forum.
Patrik, hope you can help. Malwarebytes installs but does not run/open, although I’ve yet to try John’s advise in renaming all .exe files, only renamed a couple to no avail. Cannot open HiJackthis either. Currently running avast homeedition, it’s scanning as I write this on unaffected laptop, it detected trojan (beep.sys I think it was called). If this fails what can I do? Which is better System restore or last known good config? Thanks in advance
Christian, try System restore. Also try to run SDFix. Or ask for help at our Spyware removal forum.
Thank you sooo very much. I was a little weary, but it seems to have worked thus far. Thanks again.
This removal app is spot on – and up to date. I used it to get rid of that damn trojan but originally couldn’t update as it had grabbed my IE browser! It still got rid and hey presto, Norton and browser worked OK. I updated and ran again to get rid of remnants. Good guys – keep up the good work!
Just wanted to say THANKS for the removal tips it worked first time. What a nasty little bugger
Great job dude. Thanks!
Oooooh Thank u so much!!!!!!!! Yes its finally off my computer.

Hey, I was infected with the silly Windows Protection Suite. My task manager stopped running with Ctrl-Alt-Delete and Start|Run|taskmgr.exe. Malwarebyte’s Anti-Malware cleaned up the infection, but I still cannot get my task manager to operate. I copied the file to another location on C:\, and it operates from there, but will not run with Ctrl-Alt-Delete or the Run command.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Sandy
Thank you so much. I had tried everything to get rid of PC Antispyware 2010 and this program finally did it and in the process removed many malware programs i thought i had removed completely in the past. Great program!!!
error code 703 came up when i tried to open it. what to do?
Sandy, looks like your pc still infected. Ask for help at our Spyware removal forum.
Alan, try to run MalwareBytes in the Safe mode.
