Got virus, help please.

[Andzon]

Hey.. So I was downloading this game, and it appears it wasn't a game at all. I should've trusted my guts. Either way, I'm not sure what to do. I cannot remove the files I downloaded because it says they are open in "System". So I have no idea how to remove them. I scanned with anti-virus and it removed lots of files, but every time i open the map i downloaded it seems to detect something new. I am scared my PC will mess up if I restart it, so I really don't know what to do. It gave me new start up page on Chrome, as well as added a bunch of programs, one of them was Wajam or something, I don't remember as I deleted them all (I think).

 

Please help.

Download and run RKILL together with Malwarebytes (full scan). That should be rid of most files, if not everything.

save your data. create a bootable flash drive, delete all partitions and reinstall windows. its like a nuke and then rebuild. it takes some time but your making sure that nothing is left

Scan with Malwarebytes.

I am running malwarebytes over and over, it detects things constantly, i just want to get rid of the 14gb file which I can't. I am not very good at all this so I have no idea how to reinstall windows. Will everything get wiped?

14gb map of files*

If its running in the system, RKILL will stop it.

That, or boot into safe mode and remove it from there.

Does "YesSearches" sound familiar to anyone?

[Andzon]

Must I download rkill or is it a standard program?

Its a downloadable program, you can find it here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/rkill/

Thank you. I just ran it, but I am still unable to remove the files.

Is the folder filled with malware? If so then if you have a USB flash drive around you could create a Kaspersky Rescue Disk on it.

It will boot into its own little OS and remove files from there.

[Andzon]

There isn't even an option to remove the files, what the fuck.

That's the reason why you shouldn't download games. There's nothing you can do. Reinstall windows. 

[Andzon]

The PC seems to be working as normal now however, after i removed everything manually, it still detects things from that folder though. Should I try restarting the PC or is that a death wish?

[TheRandomness]

Stop opening the thing you download. Then probably reinstall Windows.

Correction - that's the reason you should use trusted trackers

I normally do, it looked fine and was one of the first search options, so I figured there wouldn't be a virus there. I also know some virus programs thinks something is a virus when it actually isn't, I am unsure if this is the case. Would it help if I show the torrent?

It appears all I had to do was go to "DVD" and press Eject. Damn guys, I thought you were pros, and here you are telling me to reinstall windows and stuff.
