I had the problem with DD2010 and it disabled me from opening registry, task manager and anything else for that matter. What I did is I unplugged my computer and made sure it had zero internet access. Then I started the computer up on Safe Mode on Command Entry then I typed in rstrui.exe which will open up the system restore and I restored to a date a few weeks before the spyware showed up. That took care of the pop-ups and slowed computer, I then followed these steps to delete any floating files that might be corrupt. My laptop now works completely fine (:

On my lap top I was infected with dd2010. My laptop will not boot fully so I can not get to my desktop to try to remove it. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do?

Go Back in Time before your system was infected by this Trojan by using SYSTEM RESTORE!
Here is how for XP users, but VISTA users have similar instructions.
1. Click Start.
2. Point to All Programs.
3. Point to Accessories.
4. Point to System Tools.
5. Click System Restore.
6. Follow the instructions on the wizard.

This will not erase any photos or files you have created, it just takes your system back to a time when the virus was not there.

Just download and install Malware bytes malware remover ASAP. Restart your computer. Ctrl+alt+ del to task manager. Go to processes and end DD2010. A blank desktop should follow. Click new task and find Malware bytes. Run the scan. That’s what I did. It got rid of this DD2010 crap. Now just have to get my computer back in order. It’s not running the way it did.

My PC was infected by DD 2010 on 12/31/09. I tried to follow your instructions to remove it, but I was unable to find any of the .exe processes except for DD 2010 and SecurityCenter. In addition, I couldn’t unregister any of the DLL files, and I could not find all of the listed registry values. Instead, I found other registry values related to DD 2010 added to my registry that need to be removed. Could you explain? Thank you

This DD2010 garbage got into my laptop.
have read many instructions on remove.
I have “system restore disabled” when I try to end the DD process it immediately restarts as a process.
Any ideas?
thx

TY so muchfor the desktop defender instructions!!!! I emailed themfor the key & already figured it was spyware. I’m under a lot of stress & almost didntt care. Only thing’s I got to where you open/run & the part where the registry files are & nothing showed. So, hope thats all I was supposed to do? Well now I’m downloading SpywareDoctor if it allows me & maybe that will help. Thank you again for caring & great resources!!! Andrea E
