12/15/10 – I too was infected. Thanks for all of your comments,but especially to Kenny (#29 & 30). Starting in Safe Mode in Windows 7 worked for me. I did not get the option to be ‘Administrator’, but I was able to access System Restore. I picked a point a couple of days prior to the incident and that solved the problem.

I can not do step 6. I’ve tried numerous times and nothing happens. I’ve tried downloading different virus removers, (spybot, Malware etc) it says it’s downloaded buy it’s not showing up on my computer. I’ve ran a search and nothing is there. I restarted in Safe Mode and ran a Rogers virus scan and it’s still not going away… I’m so frustrated. Please help!

I have had all the same problems that everyone has spoken about here! I am currently in safe mode and waiting for the malware to finish as I chose to do all users rather than just mine. I unfortunately am waiting a bit longer than 5 min but that’s okay if it gets rid of the stupid virus! :( In addition I got the worm while being on facebook!!!

A VERY important note is included at the end of this article:
1) Download mabm-setup.exe from a non-affected computer. Save the file to the desktop.

2) Re-Name mbam-setup.exe to something else with the .exe extension (like JoeAdmin.exe)

3) Copy the re-named .exe file to a memory stick, or write it to a CD/DVD

4) Restore it to the desktop of your infected PC
and execute it (Scan entire disk).

5) If you have any problems doin this with your current login (which should be a administrator) try creating a new login with administrator privs, loging in as that new login and follow the same instructions.

I had the same problem re lsas virus. I shut the system down, reopened in “safe” mode, then did a “systems restore” dated 2 weeks ago. This is in Windows XP. Took me about 2 minutes and so far it is working.

By the way… once my computer was restored, I installed the “Malwarebytes Anti-Malware” software via the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Instillation Wizard generated from the mbam-setup link on betanews.com/malwarebytes/mbam-setup.exe

I was having “fits” trying to get rid of the Lsas.Blaster.keyloger worm virus that kept popping up and preventing me from accessing anything that would assist, or, give me a clue as to what was going on. Finally after two and a half hours of several failed repeated attempts to download and run various softwware and clean up tools and devices. I shut off my computer and restarted it. While it was re-booting I pushed the F8 key before the “Windows” started. The computer entered the “safe mode”. I pushed the “enter” key, this allowed me the option to “click-on” as “the administrator”. Once I did this I was given the window option “to,or, not to” enter the safe mode. Choosing “not to” allowed me finally… the option to restore my computer. I clicked “not to” and was then given the option to restore my computer to a previous setting. Since I had been going at the failed attempts to get rid of the Lsas.Blaster.Keyloger worm virus for several hours, I just restored my computer to the previous day. Everything restored perfectly! It worked. This is a slight variation of the suggestion that I recieved in this comment section, except that I didn’t try to run the embam-setup.exe from the “safe mode”. Basically, I made the right decisions by following the instruction options that I was presented with. And as each suceeding window opened during this navigation process I took a breath of reliefe because I could see as I was going in the right direction. Try it! WHATEVER WORKS, RIGHT!!! THANKS

I followed the instructions the webmaster gave above follow it… If it’s not working it might be because you might not be on the administrator user thingy of the computer!!!! I tried that and worked for me now my computer works!!!

Sorry last post should read could NOT remove all infected items. ???

By: Cathy

Hi- please help.
Did step 6 in safe mode, but could remove all infected items. I’m no further forward. Any ideas?

Ok all you guys,

I couldn’t access anything on my computer as it closed automatically (including Task manager, all programs and stuff) except the internet. So I downloaded the software Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware (mbam-setup.exe) and restarted my computer in Safe MODE. Then I searched (while in safe mode) using start – search: “mbam-setup.exe” and installed the software.

Aaron — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 18:51:51 +0000

OR
None of these worked for me, even option 6. Try a slightly different way though:

I tried to go into safe mode, but it wouldn’t let me, so I selected to start up in normal windows.

As it was starting up, I pushed F10, and then maneuvered from back there. Click the tab that has the date, and change the date per option 6. Click save and continue to restart in normal mode. Everything was fixed.

thanks… I did the last thing and it worked

By: webmaster

webmaster — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 04:48:19 +0000

If you cant run it, try rebooting your computer and run in “SafeMode.” Hit F8 on keyboard before Windows starts. Then select SafeMode. Run Mbam from there.

Andy. Dont you have friends, office, schools where you can download MBAM? You cannot solve anything without an effort.

Andy — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 02:50:48 +0000

I tried the steps for webmaster and it didn’t work… I cannot download it on another computer because I do not have another computer…

For ew’s steps, I cannot get anything to start except IE because everything else is “infected”

I do not have any money to buy a new computer or buy some software….

Go to Programs from Start button, click on Accessories, click on System Tools and choose System Restore. Pick a date to reset your system to that is prior to the date that you got this annoying spyware. It works.

1. Download Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware (mbam-setup.exe) and save it on your Desktop. 2. After downloading, double-click on mbam-setup.exe to install the application. 3. Follow the prompts and install as “default” only 4. Before the installation completes, check on the following prompts: - Update Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware - Launch Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware 5. Click “Finish.” Program will run automatically and you will be prompt to update the program before doing a scan. Please update. 6. Scan your computer thoroughly. 7. When scanning is finished click on the “Show Results” 8. Make sure that all detected threats are marked, click on Remove Selected. 9. Restart your computer. Note: Some malware may prevent mbam-setup.exe from downloading and running. You can download and rename this program from a different computer before running it on infected system.
