    Trojan help

    After downloading something I really shouldn't have (office 2010 keygen before you say p0rn :P), I've been hit buy the following trojan, it has already managed to stop MSE and my backup AVG and defender cant delete it either.

    Any ideas what to do next?

    Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor.

    Learn from this and buy the actual piece of software you enjoy next time.

    Download a tool like Malwarebytes and try to clean the system with that.

    Boot into safe mode, run as admin.

    I would suggest the combination of Spybot and Malwarebytes.
    if both don't work, you're really screwed.

    If thats the case though, it could be a rootkit.
    Depending on what kind, you might have to reinstall your HDD

    if it is a rootkit, there is a rootkitscanner from microsoft that could help.
    This because rootkits tend to stop you from downloading antirootkit programs, and the scanner from microsoft runs from the internet.
    Also, it tends to steal away your admin privileges, meaning Combofix won't work.

    Mind you, the last bit only counts if it is a rootkit, first go and try Malwarebytes and Spybot

    Just to add, I know defender says its a trojan, but rootkits often open up ports through which new malware is downloaded

    Run Combofix in safe mode.

    Reboot your PC.

    Run RKill - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/down...ti-virus/rkill

    Reboot your PC.

    Run Malwarebytes.

    That will pretty well take care of it. After that...stop downloading KeyGen's!
