However, I had to manually navigate to c:\windows\system32 to manually delete the remaining TDSSxxxx files. Mal’s was able to clean up most of the TDSS infection. I decided to run Mal’s program a few more times from Normal mode and after about the third time if revealed that the PC had the TDSServ Rootkit virus. However, the browser was hijacked and would not let me navigate to the correct URL. Now the application ran, although this time I had to run the application from Normal mode and NOT Safe mode! Sheesh…what gyrations!Īfter running Mal’s Anti-Malware which caught a lot infections, I wanted to install SuperAntivirus. So I navigated to c:\program files\malwarebyte’s antimalware and renamed the application file mbab.exe to fred.exe. This was because the spyware was also blocking that application filename as well.
Once I booted to Safe mode and was able to install Mal’s program, I wasn’t able to RUN the program. Problem #2 - Unable to run Malwarebyte’s Anti-Malware program. However, I could still only install the program from Safe mode. To get around this I just renamed the mbab-setup.exe program to fred.exe and I was able to install the program. Man, these spyware programs are getting more and more devious all the time! I found out that this was because the spyware program was blocking execution of the antispyware installation file. On this particular PC I kept clicking on the setup icon and nothing happened. Problem #1 - Unable to run Malwarebyte’s mbab-setup.exe program. Here’s how you can get around those problems, which are based on my first hand experience from cleaning one instance of MS Antivirus 2009 on a single PC. However, you may run into a few “gotchas” that prevent you from running these cleaning programs. These are both excellent spyware cleaners. In my previous posting on How To Remove MS Antivirus 2009 I mentioned using Malwarebyte’s Anti-Malware Removal Tool along with running SuperAntivirus.
