sounds like a trojan virus that unloads a bunch of them at once.

I was able to delete the ones I got from a packet even though at startup I still get a message that something can’t be found.

I just used Malware Bytes

You can boot from a Linux Cd and then save all the files you want on Memory sticks. Then do a Windows recovery.

Without knowing your level of expertise:

On a non-infected box,

DL BitDefender's rescue disk,

Grind it to cd... It is in ISO format, so you need to know how to grind a CD from a file.

BitDefender.com: "How to create a BitDefender Rescue CD"

Boot to the disk, and scan the affected computer.

kb.BitDefender.com:"Using the BitDefender Rescue CD"

BitDefender's clean up engine is pretty effective. It is Linux, but the AV pops up when the boot is done, so all you really need to do is press it's start button...

This is just like in the old days... One needs the native OS to be off-line to kill the bugger, so one must use a boot disk.

I have other solutions if this one doesn't work, but they all require a miniaturized Windows platform to run from - Something Joe-user would have a hard time putting together... Lemme know.

If you get it fixed,, this is what I do, (I'm no expert)

1. for surfing the net, make another account w/o administrative permission. Only use this account to surf with. IF I get any malware, I delete that account and make a new one.

2. I have a separate little laptop that is used for banking only. NOTHING ELSE.

I have turned off all anti-virus and firewalls on the surfing computer. It is lightning fast :)

One other thing you should do before you run a scan.Before you boot your computer, unplug your modem cable. Some of these malware viruses download things on startup and you wind up like a dog chasing its own tail. When you are clean, plug in your cable.

malwarebytes will get rid of it, but you also need to download rkill.com. It kills the process so you can safely use malwarebytes.

If you can’t get the programs downloaded onto your computer, download them onto a clean computer and copy to a flash drive or cd-rom and then install them through safe mode.

Do the following:

1. Restart your computer, while restarting, press and hold down the F8 key. If you hear a clicking sound, release the key and immediately press it down again. Repeat until you get to a screen that lists a number of options.

2. Select start in Safe Mode with networking,

3. Select the account named administrator if possible.

4. After startup, go online and download the following programs to your desktop: RKILL http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/rkill.exe”;

COMBOFIX http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=2&ved=0CA0QFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.combofix.org%2Fdownload.php&ei=DaTIS52dNJW09gS-3qSZCw&usg=AFQjCNHZOzvWVDVokuL0QVCBJjBrFheaCQ&sig2=r8HfGs5f-SLl62p-qREPfg”;

MALWAREBYTES: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

5. Run RKILL it will stop the processes

6. Run Combofix, it will install the recovery console and update itself, and then run a full scan – let it complete.

7 After that install and run Malwarebytes in quickscan. That should remove the problem and fix the registry.

8. That evening run a complete scan with Malwarebytes

If you can’t get into the administrator account, download these files from another computer and copy them to the desktop. If you can, start in safe mode, log in to the computer and as soon as you can, run rkill, continue to try running it as soon as you see your desktop. It will kill the process and you can proceed from there.

I have been using the following two programs for years now. Zero problems and my computer runs like day one. I have had my computer for 8 years now and it is extremely fast.

Just get CC Cleaner which is free.

http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

and

Advance System Care. It will be the best $18 you ever spent.
