Hello I got a virus that won't go away. I've tried several programs but none have been able to get it.
Virus is Virtool.Mediainject.A
Anyone got any fixes or programs that will deal with it?
I've got one that Adaware can't seem to get rid of--Adblaster.
When I go to the sites that tell you what to delete, there is one file in Windows system folder that I can't delete--it's apparently protected by Windows file protection. I have the program blocked from accessing the internet, but I can't get rid of it. It keeps popping up now and then trying to access the internet.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate your help.
Try SpyBot S & D

That is what my Firewall console is showing me this little bitch of a bug is trying to connect every 2 seconds (I am not fast enough to copy each instance as it goes zipping by on my firewall console)
This program is apparently installed somehow using a trojan and uses the cookie/spyware listed above.
Looks like a total re-install when I get back from the Browns game.
Nailed it had to do the steps you had, then go into safe mode (after removing the cookies and adware/spyware with tthe Scanner program) then remove the MICORE Program manually. Geesh there should be a death penalty for these damn adspammer/malware idiots.
