Virus remains after formatting
Hi all,
Upon running MalwareBytes it reports that I have "Trojan.DNSChanger". The log says quarantined successfully and then requires reboot. Next time I run it, though, and it's still there.
So I decided to reformat and reinstall OS. I'm never had to do this before but am certain I did it correctly, having watched a youtube tutorial. I booted from my CD, highlighted the partition, clicked "delete". It then says 'unallocated space' as expected. I proceed with the install. But upon completion, the trojan remains!
In normal mode, I keep getting repetitious messages appearing on the taskbar saying something like 'malwarebytes: stopped outgoing message (svchost.exe).
I'm quite the novice, so any help you could provide is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
