Hekp with clcr.exe

Can someone help me with the clcr.exe virus? I usually don't have problems like this but this is on my oldest son's computer as well as some of the ones I use at work.

It won't allow hijackthis to run or trend micro. We can't download anti virus spyware. If we try to look up via CERT we get redirects.

You could always go into DOS mode and use 'fdisk' to "fix your disk".

ONLY kidding, do NOT do that!

You are not hosed, not at all, read up on what has infected your system from Symantec:

I can't help you with the virus but I can help you with your spelling.

Hekp = Help :)

I hope that hekps.....

I had a similar problem recently and the virus I had wouldn’t allow Spybot Search & Destroy to run. Apparently the virus/spyware “keyed” on the executable name for Spybot so I just renamed it to abc.exe and then it started right up. That may be what you need to do with your Anti-spyware program.

The MalwareBytes Anti-Malware program is a very good one and it got MOST of mine cleaned up except for a single Registry entry that would not delete even when the program (MalwareBytes) said it would on reboot.

I tried to delete it using REGEDIT and it said it couldn’t delete (in use). The virus did a tricky thing by assigning the registry “key” to another user then deleted that user so I couldn’t delete it. I reset the permissions on the registry key to allow my user (administrator) to access it and I finally got that last registry entry deleted. I think I’m virus free now.

The ‘moral of the story’ is that no matter what I ran (MalwareBytes, Combofix, Spybot, Spyware Doctor, etc....) it would not delete that last registry entry until I did it manually. GOOD LUCK!

try this...on another computer download AVG into a flash drive.

take flash drive and install it into infected comp. run AVG.

after set up..run scan

I would use Malware bytes. This program fixed my system from a couple other serious virus attacks. Make sure and click "update" befo0re you run it the first time.

For whatever it's worth, Malwarebytes is highly recommended by the forum I used a few years ago when I had a pile of "interesting" infections.

Next to that, I'd suggest Avast!
