    the path just seems to be C:\Windows;C:\Windows\system32

    (I found the folder wbem in system 32)
    '

    which I think is some kind of error, as it seems to be written twice or something and it also bears no resemblance of your example path above!



    In the meantime , I'm going to do the Hitman scan and delete everything that is useless that could potentially carry adware. Then delete the free version of hitman as advised earlier, I will also do a full scan of MSE to do a similar job.

    Hi, so Ive just completed a full MSE scan and the results are attached. I will remove them in the next hour unless told otherwise

    I will move onto the Hitman scan again which I know seems to pickup alot of things in either misjudgement but also revelas alot of adware and unused applications. This will be useful for finding perhaps the cause of these trojans/malware.

    yeh I think I ran that, I followed all instructions from before so I did.


    MSE alert is stuck at 75% in removing all four of them. The MSE main window is saying it is protected though(red to green). Basically I have been here (see attached) for the past hour

    I ended it in the task manager, shutdown, failed to configure the installed 19 updates 40.3mb mentioned earlier.

    Logging back into Microsoft security essentials it appears the only one not removed was the Backdoor:Win32/Pasur!rts

    Does this virus allow remote access to that program on my pc? Im manually deleting this Backdoor:Win32/Pasur!rt now now, and then re-runing MSE full scan. The hoping I can update (quite doubtful)

    my internet explorer just doesnt work. I noticed the other day in the half a year since I ever open it. I used to have two version 32 bit and 64 bit and no add on version or something. Now when I click on the only remaining version just 'internet explorer' it opens up a blank white webpage and nothing works like google, the link bar.
    AH problem solved, ran as administrater. hold on
