safemode
run malwarebytes
spybot s&d
and Kapersky
if its still messed up run Hijackthis get a log file and post it up on a help page
i recently had a bad virus ran those programs it was removed but something was still preventing me using search engines, so i ran hijackthis and noticed there was something implemented to block google/yahoo/bling etc's websites (which cant be detected since its not exactly a virus or spyware and used hijackthis to delete the blocks)

I just cleaned it off 2 computers manually (I do it manually so I know EXACTLY what changes I have made)
this is what I did:
1. boot safe mode w/ command prompt
2. start ask manager and end any [RANDOM].exe processes
3. start regedit and remove the following keys
4. navigate using command prompt to c: \[username]\Documents and Settings\Local Settings\Application Data\
and delete any folders with random folder names... ie: "xopqktj"
5. (I just did this to make sure it didn't leave any residue crap on my system directory) - empty windows prefetch folder
6. restart and all should be fine, but just as a precaution I used AVG to give it another scan
OP: If you want to do it this way and need help, PM me and I would be more than glad to give you a hand over msn or whatever

Jesus, Fucking, Christ. I got rid of it the day I posted it... took me around 3 hours of shitting bricks. I tried a lot of methods, but they all didn't work , or it took a long time. I finally resulted in doing this:
1) Downloaded Ad-Aware Free.
2) Restarted my computer and opened Ad-Aware Free as fast as I can, I did this because when the virus starts it will block all the programs from being opened.
3) Ad-Aware Free will take care of the virus during the scan and quarantine it.
4) When the scan ends, just remove it and its gone!
Win!
Thanks for your all your help! And Tiger_handheld, no thanks, and no pics. lol

hmmmm, i got this exact same virus too. apparently its a fake virus that just introduces a whole bunch of other trojans if ure not careful. what i did was went on removevirus.org searched up "antivirus soft" and it came up with a guide on how to remove it throughly, i even did all the registry editing and stuff.... my computers running kinda sluggish now, prob due to all the antivirus programs i installed...
ps: i think this problem might have originated from nsfw forums....specifically porno thread.

1. Spybot
2. Malwarebytes
3. ComboFix
4. HiJackThis
That usually does it, although if you're noob you might not want to tinker with ComboFix/HJT without reading up first. The first two are straight-forward.

Does it still pop up? If you can, you don't need to system restore (I didn't). You just need to be fast enough to open ad-aware before the fake anti-virus thing opens, this way, it won't restrict all the programs you open. When ad-aware scans, when it detects it it will automatically shut it down and quarantine it so it doesn't fuck with your computer, then finish the scan and remove it and you will have a good day.

I re-booted and did system restore, and after system restore the fake anti-virus thingy didn't open anymore. But I read this thread, so I scanned with Malbarebytes and ad-ware and it came up with nothing. How do I make sure I got rid of the spy ware/virus?

It should be gone. Those 2 programs check it pretty thoroughly. As long as you don't get the annoying popups then you should be fine.

I hate getting rid of viruses, so periodically I make an image of my hd. If shit hits the fan, I just restore my image (that I know is clean). Hirens Boot CD is a life saver!

I don't like Malwarebytes, I've run it and Spybot S&D and MWB rarely picks up on anything, whereas Spybot picks up a lot more crap. That plus MSE and you should be golden.
