    Reboot and go into SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING (Did you try rkill in NORMAL mode 1st? if not try that 1st) and rerun rkill etc

    My internet will not connect in safe mode with networking even tho I have wifi access. I may have to load the malware ont the usb aswell? I have tried restarting in normal mode but the virus comes straight back and blocks internet. Thanks for your help so far.

    Do your downloads on another machine and copy to your flash drive to install on the affected machine.

    It may have inserted itself into your system restore if so it will be protected from any scan, so switch of system restore just remove the tick then run a scan remember to enable system restore afterwards

    Can you connect via an ethernet cable as opposed to wifi? (Much better chance of getting net to work)

    Hi
    I have been unable to sort this problem.
    I have downloaded and run rkill in safe mode with networking.
    I have tried to open and run malware bytes from the usb but it will not load. I get a message saying runtime error 0.
    Any ideas
    Thanks
    My infected computer is vista

    Put malwarebytes on your desktop and run from there
