Solution:
RKill it from memory.
Combofix.
Malware bytes full scan.

The first two you can google and download from bleepingcomputer.
The third can also be found on google.

I keep a thumbdrive with all 3 on it. =|

this is what i deal with on a daily bases as well... do like rogean says and keep these items on a thumb drive. i charge 45 bucks to those that bring me their computer when getting this type of rootkit virus which is malware to be exact. word of advice is also don't use IE to browse the interwebs.... will help keep these off ur computer.

Since we're on the topic of cleaning shit off computers, Rogean, what's your opinion of PCDecrapifier?

Best advice ever.

1) Use Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome
2) Put Malwarebytes on a thumb drive
update your thumb copy once a week or so.
3) If you're running Firefox...get the AdBlocker plug-in
4) personally, I use Avast AV (free). does a good job imho.

+1

Currently the AV I use. Avira and Microsoft Security Essentials are decent free ones as well.

No AV is complete btw, they all only detect/remove about 50% or so of what's out there. Its a sad situation really.
If you are going to be surfing hardcore warez/pron, then install sandboxie and run IE/Mozilla/Chrome (or the app) in a sandbox until you know for sure its good.

Yeah, sometimes you can't rkill, that's when malwarebytes comes in also, good advice Rogean

I got this once and went into a hyper-paranoid psychosis state because it happened after I was doing some semi-legal stuff and a spy plane flew over my house and they were talking shit to me on the television

That's why I keep windows a separate partition and whenever something like this happens, I just do a clean install of windows. Takes like 30 minutes tops, and saves the hassle of trying to work around their bullshit.

I still laugh at people with store bought computers with a 1TB HD that isn't partitioned so they lose everything with a clean windows install.

I think anyone who creates malware should be shot. These fake scanners don't generally work on internet savvy people, but ignorant people like my grandmother? They eat this shit up because they don't know any better and barely understand whats going on to begin with.

I hate assholes who prey on others for personal gain. They should all die.
