I used rkill earlier today because my machine had been slow for the past week. It caught a bad guy that both Avira and Malwarebytes missed. TDSSKiller is also an excellent utility provided by Kaspersky at no cost.
Both rkill and TDSSKiller only take seconds to run and few people know they exist. As for rkill, I recommend the versions with the extensions .scr, .pif or .com since they tend to run more often, i.e., successfully, than the .exe one (since viruses love to disable or patch .exe files).
SAVING THREAD.
THANK YOU.
P.S. — for people who are curious... rkill is short for “rogue kill.”
Ping ping ping we have a winner thanks for the update
I had a similar virus a couple weeks ago. Actually, I got it three times in one week. I think what finally stopped reinfection (my suspicion is that it came from a web site ad) was updating Firefox to a newer version. So, be sure to update Firefox, Windows, Adobe Flash Player, etc. to help prevent the problem.
Bump for later
I got it Saturday. Took my PC to the shop that built it and they cleaned her right up for me and totally upgraed the software security programs.
