Malware EVERYWHERE...

[Zach Is Kill]

TIFU by letting down my browser security, windows defender, and malwarebytes when downloading a sketchy program of of a sketchy site. I even knew it was malware on top of that. So now I'm left with a slight problem. Malwarebytes keeps detecting things and I don't quite know how to stop them, I've scanned all of my drives, followed malwarebytes' removal instructions, and they're back. I don't want to wipe my computer, even though that would probably be the easiest way to fix it.

 

I don't know too much when it comes to actually dealing with viruses. My dad designs software for doctors to record patient data, and the only solution is if there's a virus at all on any employee's computer, the hard drive gets wiped and physically destroyed, and the incident is reported to the government. So, gg.

ALSO: My key for malwarebytes is not working anymore. People ask where I got it: a friend said he had an extra key that he wasn't using.

go through your browser extensions

clear %windir%\temp

and %temp% folders

run another mbam scan

uninstall anything that looks like sketchballs from the control panel

more mbam scans

repeat

and go buy your own key for mbam, it's good enough to warrant a purchase

You knowingly downloaded malware, nobody should help you.

Move all important programs, games, files to another drive, wipe the drive and reinstall Windows, move everything back, This is really the only sure fire way to get rid of it.

Malwarebytes sucks in my opinion. I'm a security researcher for AVG and I never recommend malwarebytes. 

 

My advice is to download Norton Power Eraser.  Run it and follow the instructions.   Then probably run the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal tool and maybe run Emsisoft emergancy kit if you want to do one final sweep. 

Just remember antivirus signatures and software dont detect much, your best bet is using your brain.  

 

Use a network analyzer such as wireshark to find the connection the malware is using to send back and forth.  When you find it and possibly other services block them on your firewall to prevent it downloading more malware. 

 

Once thats done, use something like process explorer to permanently kill the host process of the malware and then proceed to delete or screw up the main executable allowing the malware to run.  Then, just delete it all or use an antivirus program and quarentine the files and detect remaints. 

 

My advice.
