    Windows Police Pro on Friends PC
    « on: August 31, 2009, 03:54:32 PM »
    My friend got a nasty Its Windows Police Pro I think there might be more malware so far i've tried HJT and malware bytes but when you scan the virus closes the program out i can't open .exe's and we can't get into regedit to fix it,,

    Can someone please tell me what I can do to get rid of this infection..? I tried to follow the instructions but Like I said it closes Malware bytes out.

    I've managed to get firefox working and that's all I will do

    Also note I have tried safe mode.

      Rename the program and try it in safe mode.

      Mbam   renamer


      Try the renamer download for Malwarbytes.

      http://kixhelp.com/wr/files/mb/randmbam.exe

      The randmbam.exe will try to create random names and shortcuts for Malwarebytes Anti Malware (MBAM) if you have it installed already.

      If it installs then use this link to download the updates.

      Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Database - GT500.org

      Just download it



      rename hjt as well to sniper.exe , the icon

        Is Windows Police Pro on your Add/Remove list ? ...If so see if you can remove it.

                You have to get those scans to run .....rename them etc.

                    Hey were trying to use that renamer but it asks us to runt the .exe with a program?

                    like what program we want to run the .exe with? what do we do.

                    in other words You know when you go to open a file and it doesnt have a program associated with it?

                    Thats we get with the renamer

                      When you save the program just rename it to whatever you wish...
                      or Go into C\program files....locate the MBytes folder, right click and rename.

                        he Can't rename he said it needs his permission and it keeps telling him to try again even if he clicks continue how do we get around this?

                        like he doesnt have adminastrative access

                        The virus is denying access to alot of features.

                            Download UnHackMe and save it to the desktop.

                            * Open the compressed folder on your desktop named unhackme.zip
                            * Double click unhackme250.exe to begin the installation.  When asked if you wish to continue, click Yes.
                            * Select all the default installation options by clicking Next for every step in the installation.  When prompted, choose Yes to create a directory.
                            * Select the Check tab at the top of the window and then click on the Check for Trojans, Spyware, Adware button. 
                            * A dialog box should pop up stating "We strongly recommend you to make the virus scan at the next reboot of your computer. This is required for detecting the hidden rootkits."
                            * Please allow the restart of the computer.

                            * When scan is complete it should show what was has found.
                            * Look at each key and DON'T delete anything you are unsure of. Come back here and ask if you need help deciding.
                            * Click on the key that you want to remove.
                            * After selecting the key, click on the Delete Key or the Get it out! button. 
                            * A window will appear asking you to verify the deletion. Click Yes to delete the infected key.
                            * Repeat this for all of the infected keys in the list.
                            * When you're finished deleting all the keys in the list close UnHackMe.

                            Let me know how that goes.
