Removing a rootkit virus

The removal process may not be straight forward, since there may be other malware involved. In some cases the only remedy is drastic – reformatting the disk and a complete reinstallation of all your programs. I hope that won’t be necessary.

Then run Stinger.

If that doesn’t work there are two other tools which should help…….

If the above doesn’t work, download and run RKill

 

RKill is a program that was developed at BleepingComputer.com that attempts to terminate known malware processes so that your normal security software can then run and clean your computer of infections.

Then download and tun TDSSKiller
