Today I got a virus, it was some sort of fake security virus.I don't recall the name, but it was pretty serious. It completely shut down MBAM, wouldn't let me use Spybot S&D, and made avast be sluggish. SuperAntiSpyware didn't detect anything. The first thing I did was disable my wireless connection, so the virus couldn't download anything more (I'm not sure how to re-enable it, but that could be dealt with once I am virus free.) I found some handy advice on the internet (different computer), started in safe mode, deleted a few files, rebooted and got rid of the program. SpyBot S&D now works (good thing I updated it just last night) and it got rid of 7 or so trojans, the usual suspects, FireWall Bypasser, ect. There's one virus that I can't seem to get rid of though. It is Virtumonde.sdn. I deleted it, ran another S&D scan, which took about an hour, but then I pressed something and it started a new scan. I don't want to wait another hour or so, although I will run another scan tomorrow. I just want to know, where is this virus? How do I remove it manually? Avast didn't detect anything, neither did SuperAntiSpyware. I think Malwarebytes was completely gutted by the first virus. I can't use it at all. I will run CC cleaner before I go to bed. Attached is the Hijack this log. Many thanks to whoever helps me.
