Re: Avast! wont delete rootkit - File name MBR://./PHYSICALDRIVE0

Hi,

I have a rootkit which avast! Wont delete. It’s not being detected in boot time scan. Error comes up when I try to delete. I read some other similar posts about this and downloaded combo fix but whenever i try to run it, I get multiple screens of msn messenger opening up and before I even have a chance to close the screens moe keep popping up. Then the computer shuts down. Need advice on what to do please. The virus is preventing internet explorer from working too.

Thanks ;D

Can you get in under Safe mode and change directory path of Messenger ?
