Please Help!! Ive contracted somethin nasty I believe its some kind of rogue av…i botched up and clicked on something that looked like windows security center and my avast caught it but then my pc froze up and somehow it installed anyway…upon reboot my desktop was gone…no taskbar…no start button. avast and malwarebytes are unable to start thru task manager…i have to idea what to do…any help would be appreciated.
Restart into safe mode, and run MBAM.
Please post the scan report, if that works.
thanks for the speedy reply…but it wont start in safe mode. task manager will still come up tho and is how im able to be online right now…i reinstalled avast and mbam but mbam kicks off as soon as it starts and avast does the same thing as soon as it finds an infected file and then wont restart unless i reinstall it again… ???
Try renaming the main executable in the MBAM folder (Normally C:\Program Files\MalwareBytes antimalware\mbam.exe) to something random, say, your name.exe (don’t forget to leave the “.exe” extension in place) and run it again.
