Help! Security Sphere 2012 Virus has Hijacked my PC. Can't get rid of it, nothing works!

seated · Dec 4, 2011

First of all I had a few virus over the years and found a way to clean my PC.
This Security Sphere 2012 Virus is a bad MoFo, I've downloaded Spy Doctor, Nkill, ect.

They seem to find the virus, then boom the program stop working.
I changed the name of the program but the same thing keeps happening.

I have no ideal how to remove this thing manual.
So if you can point me in the right direction, that would be great.

Thank you.

Code:

http://www.malwarebytes.org/

The free edition will do just find.

Then install Nod 32 and do a full in depth scan using advanced heuristics detection.

If you are not able to install either program because of the infection reboot in safe mode then install malwarebytes, run it, delete anything it finds. Boot into normal mode then do Nod 32.

I have fixed so many computers this way I can't even tell you how many.

Try booting in safe mode and run a full scan with the free version of Malwarebytes.

P.s here are the exact instructions for you directly from malwarebytes.

Like Markthedude is on the dot!!! Malwarebytes is your only solution. and it is free.

So download it somewere, start your pc in save mode, and then install and run a fullscan with malwarebytes.

Thank for the help,

I fail to say the virus opens in the safe mode and blocks malwarebytes from opening. I've change the name of malwarebytes to iexplorer.exe but it says both malwarebytes and now iexplorer.exe are infected and will open the programs.

I talking about the standard safe mode without networking.

I spend 6 hours trying to fix this, I ready to the kill the guy who made this virus!

pay attention to Markthedude's second post, there's the removal step-by-step using mbam, seems to be a tricky infection, but it's not tough enough

I had a virus like this a couple of years ago. I couldn't get malwarebytes to work even in safe mode. I had to end up formatting the drive and starting over. Didn't matter what I did, I couldn't get rid of it.

Before doing that try this:

nod32 is a pile of shit, sorry. install kaspersky demo after malwarebytes.

purewealthinc · Dec 4, 2011

Nah.. don't waste any more time scanning your hadr drive, if you do, there are still left overs even if you scan your Pc with any malware byts software.

No other solution than to reformat your PC.. get your OS CD installer and back up everything all your IM important files and reformat your PC..
Once done.. Install ESET Smart Security 5 (latest version) buy it mate, it not cost a lot. ESET Smart Security 5 is the best one!

mrfacebook101 · Dec 4, 2011

I agree, ESET is the best, super slim and superb features!

It stay will not allow me to open any anti Virus software.

Can I do something manually to stop it from blocking the software?

I got to take the kids to a b-party so I'll be away for a few hours.

PabloEscobar · Dec 4, 2011

What you need to do is run Combo Fix (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/combofix) Do it from safemode with network access. Then once that removes it run Malwarebytes. Then Super Anti Spy and after that you can go about installing any Antivirus you choose. I would also maybe run http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208280684 - TDSKkiller from kaspersky to look for any rootkits

This will work, I tackle this type of stuff all day in work.

PabloEscobar · Dec 4, 2011

If it wont allow anything to run try this first: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill

Then Combo Fix, Malwarebytes, Super Anti Spyware...

My favorite thing is to just totally reformat the computer. Do that one a month for a clean, fast computer

Virus1 · Dec 5, 2011

When I get stubborn viruses like that...
I pull the drive out... and hook it up to an older spare computer i have..
I do not boot the infected drive... just use the old computer with malware bytes...
then kaspersky... and it always takes them off...

Never had one that could not be cleaned.

Virus1 · Dec 5, 2011

I need to find out who codes these things.... they are really good... hahahaa

Patel · Dec 5, 2011

Back your files up, and reformat the hard drive. Done.
