You didn't show what to do during the rename part Task Manager just opened for you, that doesn't happen.

[ReturnOfJackDawson]

okay this is the most homosexual guide ever. you fucking suck nigger.

[SuperGJ3]

@ReturnOfJackDawson No need for profane language and racial slurs! If you don't like this, keep it to yourself and move on. Some people may find this useful, and those who don't shouldn't start a flame war over it.

@SuperGJ3 i can't even believe i said those words i feel ashamed, i am sorry and you're right. I take my words back.

When I got to System32 I couldn't find the next step: atmpcno.dll...What do I do? please!

[MrOcturnal]

@luizaplantier that wasn't the next step. he just selected it. find taskmgr and rename it to something like blahblahblah and then enter and do what is says in the video and after you done rename it back to taskmgr

THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I'm italian and my computer works... (the file's name can be hotfix.exe)

[icke556]

THANK YOU GUY ! THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH ! I LOVE YOU ... oh my god :D my computer works !!! very nice video thanks a lot ...i cant say it enough ...really : THANK YOU !!!!!!!

Look for hotfix.exe under processes in task manager.

[Cypher1A]

NOTICE!!!!! IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS VISTA...RENAMING taskmanager doesnt work!!! First, you have to copy taskmgr.exe and paste it to your desktop, then rename it to anything you want on your desktop, as long as you dont erase and remove the .EXE extention.. Then double click the now renamed tskmngr on your desktop and look for " hotfix.exe " end its process. Then download malwarebytes as in this video, AND BE SURE TO UPDATE!!!! This virus must have been added in the update. It works!

@Cypher1A Dude, you saved me.. thanks for the Vista update, worked like a charm... this guy is one happy camper here.

[DeathAtSpawn]

@Cypher1A Ok, ok. Dont panic.

This is what you have to do. Once "microsoft" installs the "virus protecter" restart your computer. As soon as the fake program starts, it should be the only thing running. Now... press CTRL + ALT + DEL and click "Start task manager" then you can end hotfix.exe. Thumbs up if i helped you :D
