Hi guys, I need some help. I have this infection on my computer XP Antispyware 2012 and am finding it difficult to remove. I have accessed Malwarebytes to try to get rid of it in safety Mode, but no luck. This infection won't allow me to open any browsers, except Google Chrome from which I am posting this.
Any suggestions on what I can do would be gratefully appreciated.
Cheers
BB

I had this virus a couple of times bb.
The best way to remove it I found was to get any anti spyware disc you have and activate it in safe mode. The virus will block the Internet do it will be very hard to install anything this way. Try kasperspy I think it's called, when your in safe mode if you get any pop ups while installing the software x every box that appears and continue with the installation. Once your up and running do a full scan of your computer and a windows update if possible.
It's a shitty one to have but there are ways around it.

Thanks again BDS, I think I have got rid of it. Went into Safe Mode Networking. Luckily I had Google Chrome, the only browser to appear in that mode.
Then I downloaded Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and after I copied the install icon and changed the .exe ending to .scr and pasted the original, so then I had 2, one ending .exe and the other .scr on the screen. I installed the .scr one, ticking updates and launch when finish and then did a Fast scan, this seems to avoid the attention of the Trojan.
After deleting all threats, it automatically reboots to make the deletions final. It all looks ok now, fingers crossed.

Yep sounds spot on mate, I would advise to get a copy of kasperspy from play.com they have it for 899 at the moment and I haven't had that virus since I bought it a few months ago... Now hopefully you can get back to that report mate.
