Here is what happened... Malwarebytes found the Trojan and your virus scanners "real time" scanner popped up and told you that malwarebytes was opening a virus on your computer? No, Malwarebytes found the virus and the real time scanner just happened to notice the virus once malwarebytes started scanning it. Malwarebytes does not promote malware trojans rootkits tooth decay nor viruses of any kind. Better do a full scan instead of a quick scan on your machine and let malwarebytes remove those nasties!

Good luck!

Happy Malware Removing!

Very nice very basic tutorial on how to remove most wimpy malware... However you might want to break out the big guns in cases where Rootkits have molested your system. I always start with a malwarebytes scan (quick scan) then remove anything that shows up and reboot the PC. Next GMER (checks for rootkits) www.gmer.net. Will check for rootkits on startup of the program. If GMER finds any rootkits it will warn you, just right click and disable them (they will appear in red), reboot, then open GMER again and delete them. If GMER doesnt do the trick RootRepeal (http://rootrepeal.googlepages.com/) is your best friend but can also be your worst enemy. Pay attention to what you remove using this utility. OH and something they forgot to mention... If you find that Malwarebytes or any other program wont start there is a simple trick to get them working. Go to the program files folder or wherever the main .exe file is and rename it explorer. The virus will think its explorer and wont block it from running. Once you get all the baddies removed, Run a full scan using your Virus Scanner of choice and remove any files that show up. Rootkits can be very tricky to detect and remove. A few of the most common ones are TDSS and UAC rootkits. Once you kill the main file using GMER you can remove the windows files by opening an administrative cmd window and simply typing in del tdss* /a/s and or del uac* /a/s.

Good luck and happy virus and malware hunting!

One Luv!

I have a Belkin N1 and I am not a big fan of it, However I found that through extensive testing (buying wireless cards from buffalo linksys dlink and on and on trying to find one that will work with the N1) that a Hawking HWU54DZ allows me to go to the park about 1/4 mile from my house and still has great signal! Check this thing out! yeah its measly wireless g but the signal was unbelievable! try it thats all I can say!
