I totally agree and have said before, once infected the best thing is to reformat and reinstall the system. Sometimes tho that is not an options. Also when a virus is catching malwarebytes, something to use is this: mbam.malwarebytes.org/program/random.php it will generate a random name for malwarebytes and allow you to download it.

Unfortunately I have seen Vundo also remove malwarebytes and cause it to be useless as well. I have also see malwarebytes catch some of the files that vundo is creating and using but not all of them and if you don't get all of them it just comes right back so far I have yet to find any real solution to this other than re-imaging or reformatting and re-installing your system.

I found out about Malwarebytes battling Antivirus 2008 which removed almost all of my Properties tabs and constant nagging windows.

Killed it dead in it’s tracks!!!!!!!!!!

So good, I bought 4 copies from them!

If you use Malwarebytes, please consider buying a copy of two. It’s only fair to reward them with $ when they save you hours!

The Corporate version of Symantec found NOTHING, removed NOTHING, stopped NOTHING and is garbage.

Spend money on software that WORKS!

Battled this sucker f-o-r-e-v-e-r with all sorts of av/adware solutions; tried everything. Then finally was able to get rid of this evil trojan by opening up malware bytes; opening and using process killer to kill 1) explorer, 2)smss, 3) winlogon. This finally stopped the trojan’s renaming dll’s on launch and adding new dll’s to startup. Then alt+tabbed over to Malwarebytes {updated on download before whole process} and ran to remove.

I recently had my own battle with Virtumonde and used Malwarebytes as part of my arsenal to zap it.

I was to the point of giving up and just doing a reinstall. This was truly a life saver. I would put MalwareBytes in your arsenal.

This sounds like a story right out of my book. This happen to a neighbor friend of mine and I ended up reinstalling Windows. Wish I would have known this then. Thanks for the tip. I will try it next time.
