Hi,

My computer was recently infected with the Fake Worm.Win32.Netsky Spyware Alert trojan. To try to address the issue, I booted up in safe mode with networking and then went through the steps outlined on this page here:http://www.myantispyware.com/2010/01/07/how-to-remove-smss32-exe-winlogon32-exe-helper32-dll-fake-worm-win32-netsky-spyware-alert/. I completed step 1 and when I went to step 2, the file they say you should look for (helper32.dll) wasn't there, so I skipped to step 3. When I tried to run malwarebytes, my computer froze and I had to do a hard rest. Unfortunately, I now receive an error saying that the following critical driver is missing: Windows\System32\Drivers\meydfv.sys. I tried booting up with a vista installation disk to repair the error, but it failed. I'm not sure what to do at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Juan

Posting more than once in a thread can cause your topic to be overlooked as Helpers usually look for threads without any replies first.

If your topic goes more than three days without a reply, post a link to your topic in The Waiting Room and a staff member will pick it up as soon as they can.
