It does not allow to run any exe files… Therefore even though I know Malwarebytes kicks butt. I cant run it…
I got this same exact virus the other day and it took 3 days to get rid of it. I used COMBOFIX.EXE (downloadable from bleepingcomputer.com). Start PC in safe mode. Please note, you still won’t be able to run EXEs off your desktop. You’ll need to run combofix from a command prompt. This will prevent the blockage from kicking in. Hope this helps…
I’m not sure how I got this, but it took me about 4 hours to get it to stop popping up on my machine. I could not run any .exe files, so I was not able to install any software to get rid of it. I believe I disabled it by deleting the program from my start up and program folders and emptying the recycle bin. After that it stopped interfering and actually let me run task manager and my Symantec security which helped me detect/delete the virus files. I am taking it to my work techs to ensure it’s really gone - but this was a night mare. Note that it disables task manager so you can’t “end” the process to delete files - it was tricky.
how do you open .exe files using command prompt,
aa, just proceed to location and type the filename example, C:\mbam.exe
the program still wont start and the command prompt doesn’t give any error
its also worth saying that it shows up in task manager under processes
Sandra what was the name(s) of the file(s) you deleted from start up and program folders?
