Download Malwarebytes on a seperate system. Boot the infected system into safe mode (tap F8 as you boot up). Transfer Malwarebytes via usb drive over to the infected system. Install and run in safe mode.

(If the infection is so bad that you cannot run Malwarebytes in safe mode, connect the infected drive via usb cable to a machine with Malwarebytes and run from that machine.)

After Malwarebytes runs, boot up normally and go to www.safer-networking.net and download Spybot S&D.

Run Spybot. Run Malwarebytes. Repeat until clean runs of both are done. Reboot. Repeat. Once you have clean runs of both after a reboot, install your favorite Anti-virus software (I am still sticking with AVG personally at this point)

that was going to be my suggestion. It saves a lot of time.

Kudos

Get Microsoft Security Essentials. You’ll never go back to AVG.

Worked for me today. I had to download Malwarebytes on a separate PC.
