From: Dina on 7 Mar 2010 09:43 Running XP, SP 2 This program started and I know it's a virus. I ran Malwarebytes in safe mode and it removed 3 infected files from the registry: antivirus disable notify, firewall disable notify and updates disable notify. I reboot and the program was back. I then removed them manually in safe mode. I reboot and it was back again. It has also disabled my internet. Last update in Malwarebytes was 12/2009. What can I do to fix this? Dina

Sometimes they are a little behind also, but they do very well keeping up with the latest tricks used to foil antimalware applications. Sometimes Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is enough, sometimes rkill (pick a flavor) followed by MBAM and/or SAS - and sometimes you need a rootkit detector first. Sometimes guided help is the answer (combofix, hjt).

Except, that it isn't. A virus is a specific kind of malware, and this is another kind.
