Does Malware Bytes Work?

By Networking Security Posted in: Network Security

I run it on my computer and it finds a bunch of stuff (see below)….then it tells me to reboot my computer to complete the removal process. I reboot and when I run the program again it finds the exact same files. I’ve run it and reboot a few times now and I’m not sure what’s going on.
Files Infected:
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\kasper… internet security.exe (Trojan.QHost) -> Delete on reboot.
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\aaa1.e… (Trojan.Gname.com”target=”_blank”rel=”external”title=”enom reseller” >enome) -> Delete on reboot.
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\conime… (Trojan.Caxnet) -> Delete on reboot.
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hints.… (Worm.AutoRun) -> Delete on reboot.
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.… (Backdoor.Bot) -> Delete on reboot.
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\lsass.… (Trojan.Agent) -> Delete on reboot.

    Malwarebytes works really well.
    What you may have to do though is:
    1. Restart your computer. When your computer starts up, after the BIOS/logo screen, press [F8] and choose “SAFE MODE with Networking” (*very important!*). Install Malwarebytes on your computer. Now update Malwarebytes.
    2. Open Malwarebytes and do a **FULL SCAN** (very important to do FULL SCAN) from Malwarebytes and wait for it to finish. This will take some time to complete so be patient.
    3. Remove/delete all the nasties it has found then reboot your computer again in *SAFE MODE*.
    4. Run a [FULL SCAN] again from Malwarebytes in case there are more nasties that didn’t show up the first time as generally deleting the first lot of nasties, it ‘unhides’ more nasties.
    The most important this is that you do the FULL SCAN in SAFE MODE and make sure you REMOTE anything it finds.
    The reason why it probably couldn’t delete it is it’s loaded already in memory. If you do the remove from SAFE MODE, it wouldn’t start up those files and processes.

    Malwarebytes works very well, but it is designed to remove “malware”, not viruses. The list that you posted is all viruses. Try downloading Windows Security Essentials or any other good anti virus software. Install this software. Restart you computer in Safe Mode, turn off System Restore, and then run the anti virus program. When it has completed, restart your system and then turn on System Restore again.

    After it finds them, you have “remove” the infected files. You should see a button for that.
    Best Answer, Please :)

    Try AVG free edition or Windows security system,

    malwarebytes works well.
    what does malwarebytes find ! what do they have in common ? drivers & system32 is the answer.
    Try the following:
    1. read & run:http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-re…
    2. now update & re-run malwarebytes
    3. re-boot
    Now edit your question if your still having problems.
    Tip:
    I would also save free Dr web cureit to desktop, reboot & do a FULL scan in safe modehttp://www.freedrweb.com/cureit/?lng=en

    at the same time start machine and tap the F8 key repeatedly until the option windows appears choose safemode with networking then open browser and go to safety.live.com(that is microsoft’s online virus scanner) it’s is free…then go to malwarebytes.org and download and run their anti-malware scanner it’s free…if you know the name of the virus manual removal instructions can be found at precisesecurity.com or bleepingcomputer.com…you can download a rescue disk from avira.com just use another computer set bios to boot from the cd/dvd and run the rescue disk before anything can boot up it is free…
