Malware...

So, I got a doozy of a malicious program last night... called CleanThis...

Basically, it force-closed Firefox and popped up a Windows alert (not the fake looking crap these things normally use, but a real one) stating that Windows had detected a malicious file associated with Firefox...

I closed the popup window, just in case it was just a good fake... only to notice that all my desktop icons were gone...

Ctrl-alt-del didn't open task manager, rather popped up the same official looking popup warning...

With no other choice, I clicked a button that indicated it would "remove the problem"...

Something starts running that still looks like official Windows software... Concerned, I try ctrl-alt-del again... same thing happens as it won't let me open the task manager...

I do a hard reboot by turning off the power... Upon reboot, before my desktop loads, up pops a window with the Windows logo and the words Clean This... wanting me to click on a button that said "safe scan" or something like that...

Ctrl-alt-del still won't work... I hard boot again, enter safe mode with no networking, boom... same "safe scan" poo pops up...

Longer story short, I end up having to allow it to start running whatever BS it wants to run, ctrl-alt-del, and then login to my mom's user account (I set her one up to use while she babysits for us during the day)... On her side, I go in and end all the crap running on my side, switch back over to my account and go into the registry to delete the winlongin shell file, restart, and have to download some fixes/malwareblaster stuff to get it all cleaned off...

Apparently if I had let it go all the way through, it would continue to hijack my entire computer until I purchased some sort of software from them...

What a pain in the ass... That was one of the worst I have ever dealt with, and I don't wish it upon any of you...

Boot into safemode (hit F8 key right before Windows screen starts), get rid of CleanThis start-up entry by going to Start > Run, type msconfig on the “Open” dialog box. A windows containing System Configuration Utility will be launched. Go to Startup tab and uncheck hotfix.exe....reboot. Run Malware Bytes or Spybot Search & Destroy to clean.

You can get the GeekSquad MRI disc from most bittorrent sites. It's what GeekSquad uses to automatically remove viruses from computers. You need to have an ethernet cord running to the computer so it can download updates from the virus software creators (kaspersky,webroot,panda,etc).

It's a boot disc so you might need to change your bios boot order or tap F11 (i think) to force it to boot the disk. It's fairly simple to use and works well.

Also I recommend using Firefox with the addon NoScript. Most viruses you get while browsing the web. NoScript prevents sites from running these scripts that installs viruses. The only negative to that is it'll block normal sites sometimes but it's quite easy to tell when it does and you have a bar where you can allow scripts for that page and it remembers.
