SISZYD32.exe has possibly killed my FR computer.
Yesterday it hit suddenly despite the anti-virus and other utilities I run to protect against such stuff.
The victim computer is one I only use for FR and the sites it cites. That is the only clue I have to offer as to where it came from. I run several computers off a network and my FR computer is the only victim.
This is the worst I have ever encountered and a search for it shows that it is very dangerous and it showed up only about a week ago (AFAICT).
From years of experience I knew what to do yet the virus blocked every action, not even allowing startup in safe mode.
MalwarBytes, Spyware Doctor, SpyHunter and another one or two I tried to run were able to find it yet were blocked and defeated by siszyd32.exe.
This is day 2 and the computer boots with a black screen.
WARNING! Update all your protection software including registry cleaner, et al.
HELP! Can anybody help me get my FR black screen computer back?
Switch to Ubuntu 9.10.
Warning to all. New virus may have come from link off FR.
Taking the hard drive out and scanning it ‘hot swapped’ into an external box from another machine might work.
As long as the drive itself is not the active drive, the virus should not be a problem and should be able ot be removed.
Operative word being ‘should’.
Also, you need to know what the file name and location is that you are looking to delete.
I don’t have any advice, but I can sympathize. I just had our computer crash due to something called Advanced Virus Remover. Killed every virus remover I tried to use. All advice I found online about how to get rid of it did not work.
Malwarebytes will install and run under safe mode, that’s what I would try first.
Thanks for the warning.
I wish I could help, but I can bump your questions.
Good idea. I’ll use it as a last resort.
Thank you!
My sympathies-—I feel for you.
My computer was captured 2 years ago by “Antivirus 2008” and before I knew it had disabled all. I tried everything including re install. Nothing worked. Cost? 200 dollars.
A few months ago another bad one - forgot the name - cost 200 dollars.
The tech told me that it was targeting certain websites - my computer got infected when I visited Michelle Malkin’s site.
A simple Google search came up with.

I hope you know how to edit your startup programs.
The author of every virus program should be identified, tracked down, dragged into the street and summarily executed. These people cause billions of dollars in damage and aggravation for no purpose other than anarchy.
YES
None of the installed removal tools worked so I had a clever idea.
Put MalwareBytes on CD and run it off that so the virus couldn’t interfere. I started it in safe mode but when attempting to go further than the initial safe screen was impossible. Then everything went black and hasn’t been bootable since. Well, I can cold boot it but there’s no screen, just blackness.
Get a Mac?
Seriously, I use my ancient iMac for web cruising and physically isolate my wintel box from the internet as much as possible.
Wish I knew a simple cheap way to resurrect yours, though.
