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...

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
