Infected by virtool.win32/obfuscator.XZ

Hi,

Its always wise to double-check using another scanning engine. I recommend performing a full scan using the ESET online scanner.

Post back the findings.

Also try another scan with malwarebytes: Malwarebytes : Free anti-malware, anti-virus and spyware removal download

Whoops. Sorry. Wrong quote

Back up your registry first Registry - Backup and Restore

Then follow the manual removal here: How to Remove VirTool:Win32/obfuscator.XZ Completely and Effectively (Step-by-step Removal) - Tee Support Blog

Now run a full scan with MSE and ESET ESET :: Get a FREE Online Virus Scan

Hi Arthur,

Once Jacee answers in these threads, I woud ignore all other suggestions and only follow her instructions.

Follow the tutorial for backing up the registry and you will be fine.

Golden

Okay, don't try to do the 'manual' removal.

Download DDS from one of these links:
Mirror 1 Mirror 2 Mirror 3

• Disable any script blocking protection
• Double click the dds icon to run the tool.
• When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
  1. DDS.txt
  2. Attach.txt <--- will be minimized in the task tray
• Save both reports to your desktop.

Include the contents of both logs in your next post.
The scan will instruct you to post Attach.txt as an attachment.

Let me see the contents of both logs so I can try to help you further.

Thank you, that's what I needed.
