tried safe mode?
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

When all else fails, a clean re-install of the whole system isn't bad now and then...

I prefer the MalwareBytes forum. The guys at BleepingComputer TAKE FOREVER to respond to a help thread when you need one of the qualified assistants. MB is actually fast.

Again, run MBAM and see what that does. Run it once in full scan mode, remove whatever it finds and then run quick scan after the reboot. Compare the logs.

So I can't get to Safe Mode on the laptop I have that is infected with a couple of different ones (search engine redirect and remnants of Windows Police Pro/Antivirus 2009...gotta love the wife). Any workarounds to get into safe mode?

Tried multiple removal tools, manual removal...still there.

Which browser redirects you?

I'd suggest you put firefox or a different browser onto disc and install it, hopefully it won't redirect you on that browser also.

Update your antivirus stuff from there and scan again.

Either one (firefox and IE).

I've done that. I've installed new antivirus/spyware removers. The problem is that something is loading into memory that shuts down the scanners and changes the .exe to read-only. Totally unusable after that, as I suddenly don't have permission to change the attributes, even with administrator privileges.

You can't get into Safe Mode but you can get into normal Windows? How does that work?

It bluescreens and reboots when I try to go into safe mode, but starts regular Windows normally

Drivers are the issue here I believe. Either corrupted or not the correct ones for your hardware

What you need to do is download and install Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. Try that and see if that solves your virus issues, FEOS.

As I said before, I've done that. I already had MAM on my laptop. Virus disables the executable, even when you re-install.

I'll try updating the drivers to see if that fixes my safe mode problem, but I'm skeptical. I don't have any driver problems otherwise (ie, in normal mode).

erm.
doesn't safe mode not use the normal drivers? Hence, running solely on windows defaults? Hence, your install is fucked up?
maybe a repair install, then safemode?

Rename the EXE to winlogon.exe, iexplorer.exe; anything like might be on the virus's whitelist. Do that and report back.

I will try this...hadn't even thought of it, tbh.

Sorry I've been out for a bit. Kid was in the hospital, so neither the laptop nor bf2s were being attended to for the past week.

Sorry to hear that.

My PC had something similar, all anti-virus killed, anti-virus software wouldn't deal with it in safe mode (which did work OK).
Pretty sure it was conficker but the specific tools didn't find it either (tried them all).

My solution was to back up as much data as possible, put in a new hard drive and start again.
Hard drives are cheap and at least you're clean to start with, if theres some odd piece of data you might be able to pull it off later - or when the anti-virus stuff has caught up.

Or if you're brave you can plug it in again as a second drive right away and try sweeping it.

You just have to delete the partition, make a new one, and format it. Boom. Virus is dead. No need to spend money on something that you don't need.
If the PC won't let you do it its pretty hard to do, plus obviously you lose your data for certain.
New HDs cost next to nothing, and they're usually bigger/faster/cheaper so don't see the problem TBH.
