Turn your anti virus OFF
Click CANCEL to the 'Would you like to read purchase terms now?' message
Click START click OK
It will auto QUICK scan
After that set to scan the WHOLE computer and press the 'play' icon

Is there a problem trying to use Dr Web Live CD if you use Windows as the OS? The user manual says Dr Web is built on Linux OS.
I've downloaded the file and am trying to write it to a CD-R but keep getting a message to insert a disc?
Its a live CD which is based on Linux. Its designed to work with Windows installations. It'll work even where infections are so bad that you can't boot into Windows properly, or where the virus is stopping any Windows antivirus software from working.
To make the CD make sure you're burning a disc image from the file (.iso files are disc images) and not simply copying the file to a CD. If you don't have any on your PC already you need ISO burning software e.g. http://www.imgburn.com/
Note I tried the Dr Web live CD for myself and on my machine there was a problems as in graphical mode it would not recognise my USB keyboard or mouse. I had to use safe mode unfortunately.
I see Alienrik telling you to do something else. You should probably go with that as I'm not an anti virus expert.... I just found that video when searching for info on the "Virut" virus.0 -
OK, followed AliEnRIK's advice. Quick scan found nothing but full scan identified this;
Object: A0326591.exe
Path: C;\System Volume Information\_restore{202550A8-7A33-4BCA-9586-051D24DDBF8F}\RP873
Status: Probably BACKDOOR.Trojan
No option to select Cure so assuming I Delete?0 -
Yep, remove it:idea:0

Did you UPDATE malwarebytes and run a FULL scan then REMOVE all those items you found originally?:idea:0

Think I did, but to be honest I seem to have done so many scans over the last few days on different things. Am posting from work so if you recommend anything else I can do at home later.
Thanks.0 -
