Paladin Nasty little bugger

[MarkTJohnson]

I've seen a couple of post about Paladin. I have it too. I also found the following link that might be helpful to the true Paladins, the guys and girls at Malwarebytes.

Closed post with log info similar to what I am seeing

The gemt or grmt or whatever it is found the _VOIDd.sys on my machine just like it's reported in the above link.

I too got the 3 porn shortcuts on the desktop along with 2 icons for paladin.

There are some other removal tutorials on the forums that say to rename the .sys file to something else. Since I really don't have anything to lose at this point I may try that.

Hope my snooping around has helped move a solution to this thing further along.

Hi,

* Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Here

Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.

• Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
  
• If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  
• In case you already used MBAM previously, please update it before proceeding with the scan. To do this, click the "Update" tab and click the "Check For updates" button.
  
• Once the program has loaded and updates were downloaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
  
• The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
  
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  
• Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  
• When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.
  
• The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
  
• Do NOT post the log yet, but allow mbam to reboot.
  
• After reboot, immediately rescan with malwarebytes, let it perform another scan, select to remove and reboot once again.
  
• It's important that these steps are performed immediately after eachother (scan > select to remove > reboot > right after reboot, another scan > select to remove > reboot).
  

Then when done, post the LATEST malwarebytes log in your next reply. Only post that log AFTER the second reboot.

Extra note.. In case Malwarebytes won't install or run, rename the installer (in case it won't install) to Firefox.exe

In case the main program won't run, navigate to the C:\Program Files\malwarebytes anti-malware folder, locate the mbam.exe file there and rename it to firefox.exe as well. Then launch the renamed file in order to make mbam run.
