Defense Center is one of the nastiest rogues I've seen. But I got MBAM to take care of it. Great video by the way, I didn't know about these programs that you're using until now.

@lukenutt457 - It is a nasty one, I have had some variations with 27 rootkits and the unwanted desktop icons but the programs used did clean all traces although it does take a little time :-)

Just finishing up cleaning two computers. Both had TDSS Rootkits installed and TDSSKiller was able to remove both successfully. Unless you just go straight to a Windows reinstall running multiple scanners is the only way to clean a system...and it does take a lot of time.

@BigGeekDaddy - Now if only users would create a clean ghost image as backup, malware removal wouldn't be the major problem that it is. This method works, but as you will know yourself, it is also time consuming and in some instances a clean install can be an easier option :-)

Hello, can you please help me. I have a pretty serious problem with my laptop. My laptop got infected with a virus that infected WININIT.exe . When I tried cleaning the file it gave me BSOD. When I tried deleting wdmaud.drv it said I needed permission from TrustedInstaller. I tried scanning with malwarebytes and nothing comes up in results.My antivirus isn't working properly either. Please help me I don't want to resort to a whole reset.

On the good side, though, the malware is gone too. -.-'

Btw i downloaded hitman pro 3, did a complete check, he removed several things, and when i restarted my computer i had to format my whole computer with the vista CD-Rom. Apparently it deleted/changed some vital things in my system32 which caused my computer to crash and was unable to reboot - it kept crashing - nor i was able to run windows in safe mode. Lost every single file that was on my computer.

Instead of opening the sites in a 'new tab' and spamclicking the 'return' button, just click on 'Cached' under the links of the google search results

@ColgateNacho last week i had a bad case of a google redirect virus it attacked every computer on my network remove any removable media cds loppy disk drive disconnect from the internet and reformat every computer in your house before contacting to the internet back up reset the router to factory default then open cmd and type ipconfig /flushdns to flush the DNS resolver cache then use a usb flash driver on a computer like your friends and transfer antimalware software to your infacted pc

What should I do if the TDSS rootkit that's on my computer doesn't allow me to open any programs? ".exe is not a valid win32 application"
