Hi, My home computer is infected and unable the geekstogo website. Can anyone please advise instructions on how to get malwarebytes running again as the virus will not allow it to open. Thanks.

Hi there lets see if we can help fix this quandary

Do you have a USB drive (memory stick) If so we can use that to transfer programmes to your infected machine.. But first the host machine and your USB must be protected. Run this programme on the machine you are using to download the programmes to

1 - Flash Drive Disinfector
Download Flash_Disinfector.exe by sUBs from >here< and save it to your desktop.
• Double-click Flash_Disinfector.exe to run it and follow any prompts that may appear.
• The utility may ask you to insert your flash drive and/or other removable drives including your mobile phone. Please do so and allow the utility to clean up those drives as well.
• Wait until it has finished scanning and then exit the program.
• Reboot your computer when done.
Note: Flash_Disinfector will create a hidden folder named autorun.inf in each partition and every USB drive plugged in when you ran it. Don't delete this folder...it will help protect your drives from future infection.

THEN

Download and copy this programme to the infected machine then run with the parameters stated. From the infected machine try to upload it to Mediafire (link later) If you cannot do that then copy the log to the clean system and post here

To ensure that I get all the information this log will need to be attached (instructions at the end) if it is to large to attach then upload to Mediafire and post the sharing link.

Download OTScanit to your Desktop and double-click on it to extract the files. It will create a folder named OTScanIt on your desktop.

• Close ALL OTHER PROGRAMS.
• Open the OTScanit folder and double-click on OTScanit.exe to start the program.
• Check the box that says Scan All User Accounts
• Check the Radio button for Rootkit check YES
• Check the Radio buttons for Files/Folders Created Within 90 Days and Files/Folders Modified Within 90 Days
• Under Additional Scans check the following:
  • File - Lop Check
    
  • Reg - BotCheck
    
  • File - Additional Folder Scans
    
  • File - Purity Scan
• Now click the Run Scan button on the toolbar.
• Let it run unhindered until it finishes.
• When the scan is complete Notepad will open with the report file loaded in it.
• Click the Format menu and make sure that Wordwrap is not checked. If it is then click on it to uncheck it.

Please attach the log in your next post.
