I picked up a fun little virus/trojan on my work pc. It shuts down malwarebytes and my anti-virus software (microsoft security essentials). I think I had something similar several months ago.

Download rkill.exe

http://www.technibble.com/rkill-repair-tool-of-the-week/ 

Run it, then after it finishes terminating processes, run MBAM.(malwarebytes)

Dave, my wife picked it up on our laptop. To get rid of it, I changed users to mine, then updated and ran Avast.

It took care of it.

If you use the user that it came in under, you're right, it'll keep shutting down any anti-virus.

What is "prefetch?" It's in the "Windows" folder on the C drive. There is a process that runs when I get the popup called lvc.exe. When I end that process it seems to close out the "xp total security" windows. When I did a search for that .exe file it was located in the "prefetch" folder. Would it be ok to delete it? I'm trying to do the rkill....

Apparently lvc.exe is not good. Rkill stopped the process 3 times. Now I was able to reinstall mbam and currently running a full scan....

rkill + malwarebytes = WINNING!! (so far)

malwarebytes picked up 5 infected objects. 👍
