I've never heard of Malwarebytes NOT removing something in the FREE version. I haven't used in several months, though, so I can't say for sure.

Here are some free bootable AV CDs:

I also checked with Maleware Bytes scan....got 3 objects detected .....but FREE version does not have removal facility .

False, your virus looks like it is in a protected system folder which the AV software does not have permissions to. Not really sure why you assume that the free version doesn't remove infections, because it does. You need to look into taking ownership of the Recycle Bin folder

I still wish Malwarebytes would take the superantispyware approch and show us what it finds as it finds it. Nothing is more annoying than when you do a scan on someones machine and it finds 1 infection in memory but you don't get to know what that infection is until 1 hour after the scan is complete. Only to find out it's mywebsearch.

Yep, I hate that too, makes me want to hit stop to see what it was, but then I cba to wait for another scan in-case it finds something at the end

Ok from what I read it is a new Trojan (Some people just have too much time on their hands) discovered in mid December, which is why malwarebyes can't remove it because it does not know how

Sirefef, or ZeroAccess, is a Trojan that infects machines by exploiting a browser, through a third-party plugin, via an email attachment/link or it?s downloaded by other malicious software (malware). Once on the machine, it creates an environment where new threats can be installed without detection by most security software and then downloads these threats. Because it prevents antivirus software attempting to remove it, Sirefef is very difficult to remove, often requiring a complete system reinstall.

this may help

but if the system is compromised already i would reload from a clean backup but that's just my humble opinion because I have found many a time a lot of these 'removal tips or tools' are more trouble than they are worth...good luck

Iv`e just cleaned a lappie with this on using boot cd`s. Look like you were actually pretty lucky as it normally locks you out of the computer (ransomware). You have been caught blah blah blah, send some money via wire transfer and you can your computer back sort of thing :pinch:

Start sandboxing your browser...

    • watching him because of the Mr Klinton cat
    • yup dude, ADS on this website are terrible
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
