Grayson Posted February 19, 2009 ID:57883 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Trojan infiltrated my desktop and I first ran Adaware from Lavasoft ... no luck.Then Spybot Search and Destroy ... again, no luck.Then Malewarebyte and got "kicked out" the first run. The second efoort allowed the quick scan. Rebooted, and only got the dreaded BLACK screen with start up options of F2 or F12.Now cannot boot up at all ... just hands with a blinkin' cursor on a black screen.Hate to covert the drive to being just data as many programs reside on the drive. I normally conquer the trojans but this one has gotten the best of me. Any suggestions?I have the trojan name at home and will post later. It was basically the desktop taken over with an image advising I had spyware, browser windows generated with the "advertised" spyware program to purchase, task manager rights withdrawn, and the little red X in the taskbar advising I had problems.Thanks inadvance.Grayson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500 Posted February 20, 2009 ID:57964 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Sounds like a problem with our delete on reboot driver. Do you have a BartPE disk? Running RunAlyzer from a BartPE disk will allow you to fix this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grayson Posted February 20, 2009 Author ID:58004 Share Posted February 20, 2009 BartPE installed but RunAlyer is a seperate program (addon). Not familar with it. Saw it is similar to regedit. Have to leave now but will install it next. Any specific instructions once I get it uploaded?Progress is slowly being made & yr assistance IS appreciated.

GT500 Posted February 20, 2009 ID:58012 Share Posted February 20, 2009 You can skip the more difficult steps of making the plugin on your own, and just download my BartPE disk from (link removed). I already have RunAlyzer installed in it, and working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500 Posted February 20, 2009 ID:58093 Share Posted February 20, 2009 When you start RunAlyzer, the first tab should contain the autorun info. Look for a couple of entries for Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, and disable them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grayson Posted February 21, 2009 Author ID:58233 Share Posted February 21, 2009 They are not there! That portion of the screen is blank. No hope? New drive and slave the old? That's the advice I've been getting locally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish it did. I installed on another machine and see what "supposed" to be there, bit nothing. It's like my c drive is either being ignored or was wiped clean ... ?

Grayson Posted February 21, 2009 Author ID:58536 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Unfortunately, it seemed everything I did made things worse. Assuming, and not reading, complete instructions and guidelines is probably my downfall. I went from one computer down to two, due to my lack of knowledge of the registry, partitions, etc.It was time to upgrade anyway, so I turned the drive over to a local professional. There was enough important data on the drive that I didn't need to be foolin' around with it and chance losing it forever. Should have made that decision earlier.I'll update later what the technicians advise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
