Well as discussed in a previous post I acquired a virus/trojan on my PC and after spending hours trying to get rid of it I finally attempted attaching the hard-drive from said PC to another one as a secondary drive and using that PC scanned it with Malwarebytes Scanner software.

Malwarebytes found about 25 different Trojans installed on the system in various folders and thankfully removed them, so took the hard-drive back to the original  PC and thankfully it let me boot into Windows without any problems, so ran Malwarebytes on it again and it came up negative for any more virus/trojans, so I’ve finally got my PC back up and running, took a hell of a long time to do it, but at least it’s clean now.

Hope that if anyone reading this blog  gets this virus this information is of some use to you.

To find and remove this Virus/trojan you’ll need to get a copy of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware software and if you can get your PC to boot into “safe mode with networking” install it on your PC update its database, turn off Restore in windows and then run it on the full/deep scan setting, depending on the size and amount of hard-drives you have this can take anything from 30mins- 1hr, once the scans done it will show you a list of the virus/trojans its found and then you just have to click on the remove button, it’ll then probably ask to do a reboot of your PC, once its done this just to be safe I’d run the Scan again, better safe then sorry.
