Ho eliminato il virus ma adesso non riesco più a connettermi a internet o meglio a internet sono connesso ma quando si apre la pagina iniziale c’è un messaggio di avviso che dice che la pagina richiesta è inesistente. La pagina web indicata ha un nome pieno di caratteri strani. Tale finestra si apre diverse volte e non mi permette di navigare.

Hey there, I followed the instructions and i think I got it removed. Only problem is, my computer logs me off windows about 2 secs after I click a profile. I’ve read it’s a registry problem. So, I think I need to reboot/recover windows and fix whatever’s wrong? Computer is an old Gateway, I don’t suppose a Dell recovery disk would work, would it? Thx

I’m back, the repair cd didn’t work. So, I went to safe mode. And ran Malwarebytes in full scan. I was able to kill the monster. Now, I’m back to life. If you do not have Malwarebytes, ask your friend to download it for you at Malwarebytes.com
I’m just so glad I got that culprit out of my laptop. I will make sure that I will run this malware everyday. I hope this helps. Don’t worry, just do what I did.

Correct. I’ve tried everything and now just had to use the Operating System disc that was shipped with my laptop. I am just waiting to finish the process and see what will happen.

Just restore your computer with the Restore Disc’s that came with your computer. There is no one that actually knows how to remove this VIRUS! Just a whole lot of talk and false promises, I have tried a lot of the suggestions on the Web to no avail and was left with the option of a complete restore.

Most of my attempts to implement the suggestions on this web page or the comments section failed. Finally I had to analyze the processes with ProcMon. Turns out that the culprit is “winupdate86.exe”. I had to download a separate task manager-style program (a freeware called Process Killer) to kill winupdate86.exe. Then I went into the system startup with start–>run–>”msconfig” and removed winupdate86 from the startup. Then once you restart you can access the registry, delete the necessary registry keys and re-enable the task manager. This page shows the key you need to go to:
