THis is very good info..Thanx for posting..Tho i have used Combo fix to try and get rid of Malware and also used Rcovery Console, i still get my browsers search results hijacked. I ran Avast, Superantispyware and others and checks out clean…But i had trouble getting the recovery console from booting at startup, there’d be that black screen with Windows XP or Recovery Console as choices..This info got rid of it, but the original problem exists..lol
JC, ask for help in our Spyware removal forum.
I’ve tried this method and even though I’m not using microsoft recovery console it still won’t let me delete the folder cmdcons. I get this message …
Cannot delete “any file name in that folder” access denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use. Even when I try to delete them manually not just right click and delete . Any suggestions why it’s I can’t delete the folder?
Oh another note, I even tried it in safemode with the same result.
DA, you are logged as Administrator ?
