Cant get rid of a very annoying virus.. someone please help?

Question

Yesterday i was searching for a software to manage my pictures and unforunately it brought me a virus after installation.. the result is a change of my home page (which i cannot change it back.. it stays at that stupid site no matter what), and 2 extra internet shortcut on my desktop which also are undeleteable.

Both internet shortcut are in somekind of asian lanugage (陶宝特卖.URL and 精彩网址导航.URL) and leads to some chinese web site. I tried to trash it in the recycle bin, and it saids they are system files. I also tried to change the attributes but it keep giving me the error, saying "An error occurred applying attributes to the file.. access is denied".

this is the link of that fake software i downloaded

http://61.153.183.104:800/setup_ent/Setup_et_19_61549.exe

WARNING this is not a joke, i really did screw up because of that praticular executable file. I put the link here hoping some expert can get a better unstanding of the virus. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT if you dont know what you're doing.

Any help would be greatly appreciate

Answer 1

Many forms of malware are able to remove the executable part of antivirus and anti malware programs WHILE you are downloading them, so my suggestion is this.

What you should do is use a second computer to download a copy of malwarebytes and then update it. Next, copy the updated malwarebytes to a CD or DVD(if your pc can read DVDs) and insert the CD or DVD into the drive.TURN OFF your infected pc, not restart, TURN OFF.Wait 2 minutes then hit the power button while continuously tapping the F8 key. You want to enter safe mode (WITHOUT networking) and run the malwarebytes from there.

Answer 2

Boot into safe mode with networking, by tapping F8 at startup.

Download Malwarebytes (free version), update and do a quick scan, remove all selected when the scan is finished.



Then repeat with a full scan.



Restart in safe mode again and do a scan with your AV software.





If you still can`t gain internet access in safe mode, you need to use another computer to download malwarebytes to a memory card/disc/external.

Insert the external into your computer, boot into safe mode to install and run malwarebytes.



If Malwarebytes won`t install even in safe mode, insert the external back into the other computer and rename the mbam-setup.exe file to mc.exe then try again in the infected computer.



The renaming is because some viruses recognise the mbam file as antimalware.
