Malware problem. Need help?

Question

So I was a fool and I opened an .exe file and there was nothing in it so I deleted it and searched for him once more. I found it in my Windows map. So I deleted that and couple minutes later error sound started playing repeatedly. My whole system slowed down, I couldn't access task manager and there was no options on the left side when I opened My Computer. I restarted my PC and there was no icons, only 1 window which said something about java update. So I tried task manager again and it opened. I killed that updater but still no icons. I looked for any suspicious programs but I couldn't find any. I restarted PC and booted in safe mod. I couldn't find any sign of malware. So I turned my PC as normally and now everything is normal. But I don't think its removed. Maybe it installed keylogger or something like that. Is there any way to know if its still there cause I don't want to erase my whole HD?

Answer 1

open internet explorer, go to tools, internet options, connections, LAN settings and make sure use proxy server is unchecked, save and exit (if its checked you have a bug)



download rkill and run it

a command prompt will open and close, then a log will appear - that means its finished

if no command prompt opens, keep running it til it does

Answer 2

1. Boot your computer into safe mode with networking

2. Download ExterminateIT (free download, costs to remove though)

3. Run the program

4. When it is done running, it will give you a list of all malicious software, cookies, etc. You can upgrade to have it remove them, or you can do it yourself. It will tell you the file directory/registry location for each file you need to get rid of.

Answer 3

try scan your pc with nod32 under safe mode.

Answer 4

try malwarebytes or superantispyware both free
