rootkit and malware


Recommended Posts

So I know for sure i have msidntfs rootkit. I've tried everything to get rid of it to no avail. I can't run malwarebytes 3 anyway (cannot connect to server) and mbar claims my drive is locked and can't scan. I can run malwarebytes 2, but it isn't fixing the problem. Here are my scan files. Please help :(

 

P.s. i can't delete anything with .vbs in the file name either.

Download attached fixlist.txt file (end of reply) and save it to the Desktop, or the folder you saved FRST into. "Do not open that file"
