Hi
I keep getting messages telling that MS removal tool has found something that is harmful to my computer, thing is I didnt even know I had a MS removal tool, it wont let me run my anti virus and keeps coming up with a screen asking for cash.

I cant see it in my program list to remove it and it wont let me run my anti virus

Please help

Try Hitman Pro 3.5


Use this video as a guide.

or, RKill and fully updated MBAM in Safe Mode initially

oh, and if you hadn't twigged, MS removal tool is a fake av prog, i.e. it's an infection

The best MS removal tool is called Ubuntu.

Thanks for all the help, I downloaded both Hitman and RKill but it still wouldnt let me run them but Ubunto seems to solve it :j

Is there any way I can make sure its totally gone?

And which is the best free AV? I was using AVG but it let this b*gger through!

Cheers again

avast free and malwarebytes free, assuming you still have windows installed.

Magic!! lol

I dont really know, but I downloaded it onto a cd, ran it thought I had made a huge mistake listening to a total stranger on a forum :eek: as everything went purple but I stuck with it and followed a few instructions restarted and it allowed me to run my AV and now it seems be running ok.

I've ran malwarebytes and cant see anything dodgy but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for?
