Windows Security Alert virus...

[hiimbored]

Hi, I've read a few topics about this virus on here, but I've seen that it is important to start your own thread.  This is the virus that makes every program say "Application cannot be executed."  I already have SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware installed on the computer, but the problem is that neither of them will run unless it is in safe mode.  Also, I cannot go to any websites in normal mode or safe mode.  In normal mode, the virus makes it say that the webpage might be infected and safe mode just won't let me access websites.  This keeps from being able to update those programs as well as posting log files on here.  Right now, I am on a different computer in order to find help.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Edit: I'm reading that if you use Safe Mode "with networking" that the internet should work, but it still doesn't for me.  Maybe this is because I am using wireless internet or because I'm using Internet Explorer (I don't have Firefox).

When I run SuperAntiSpyWare in Safe Mode, it finds the virus, but when I restart like it instructs, the same problem is still there.  I've also run Anti-Malware, but it doesn't detect anything.  I have tried absolutely everything I can think of.  Does anybody have any advice?  Thanks.

Is everybody else as clueless as me on what to do to fix this?  I would just restore my hard drive right now, but I'm out of town for the next week and don't have the recovery discs with me.  Any advice?

Please just be patient. There are a lot of other threads here as you can see and there are a limited number of malware specialists.

Go as far as you can in this thread (http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,46313.0.html) and post the logs the programs create. Run them in Safe Mode if need be.

Hello  and welcome to Computer Hope Forum. My name is Dave. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer. I am working under the guidance of one of the specialist of this forum so it may take a bit longer to process your logs.

1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

If you have no internet access you will have to download these on a working computer and transfer them to your other computer. If Rkill and exe.helper works, you should get your internet access back and be able to run the other programs.

Please download and run the below tool named Rkill (courtesy of BleepingComputer.com) which may help allow other programs to run.
Save Rkill to your desktop.

There are 4 different versions. If one of them won't run then download and try to run the other one.
 
Vista and Win7 users need to right click Rkill and choose Run as Administrator
 

You only need to get one of these to run, not all of them. You may get warnings from your antivirus about this tool, ignore them or shutdown your antivirus.

Rkill.exe
Rkill.com
Rkill.scr
Rkill.pif

Once you've gotten one of them to run then try to immediately run the following.
 
Now download and Run exeHelper.

Please download exeHelper from Raktor to your desktop.

• Double-click on exeHelper.com to run the fix. A black window should pop up, press any key to close once the fix is completed. A log file named log.txt will be created in the directory where you ran exeHelper.com Attach the log.txt file to your next message.
  
  Note: If the window shows a message that says "Error deleting file", please re-run the program before posting a log - and post the two logs together (they will both be in the one file).
