Solved Do I have the w32 Blaster?

does not run from Command Prompt

The path I provided you is probably incorrect, since I do not know exactly where the autorun file is.

You could try downloading WinRAR archiver, and give that a whirl...


In the meantime, this is a quickie...

Please go back to SystemLook
Double-click SystemLook.exe to run it.
Copy the content inside the following quote box into the open field:

:reg
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\

Click the Look button to start the scan.

When finished, a Notepad window opens with the results of the scan.
Please post the SystemLook.txt in your reply.

Where do I save WinRAR to?

 

[cottonball]

Download the installer to the Desktop...it's been a while, but the program installed to Program Files.

 

[cottonball]

More questions...

Did you ever have AVG AntiVirus installed?

Refresh my memory...was McAfee your previous AV?

How did you uninstall it?

 

[Prescottbob]

Never had AVG on this machine. McFee has been the only one. We uninstalled it from the Control Panel. I guess we did that because I couldn't download the Mc remover in IE and we hadn' t gone to Chrome yet.

 

[cottonball]

Please download and install the Revo Uninstaller (Freeware) from here:
http://www.revouninstaller.com/download/revosetup.exe
Download to the Desktop.

Run Revo Uninstaller and see if McAfee is there.

Post back on the outcome.

Layback Bear,

To your ? earlier: I should have said repeated distractions earlier from legit Java and Adobe screens.

 

[Prescottbob]

It shows McAfeeSecurity Scan Plus

Click on the McAfee Security Scan Plus inside RevoUnistaller and choose uninstall
Click on Yes to agree you want to uninstall
If you get the builtin Uninstaller for the app use that and once you're done click Finish
Back inside RevoUninstaller click on Next
Let RevoUninstaller scan for left over registry keys . Click on Select All and choose Delete .
Once done click on Next.
Let the left over files and folders be locates then Click on Select All then click Delete then Next and you should be done .

 

[cottonball]

Hmmm...

Go back to Revo, Select the McAfee entry.
Click the Uninstall icon.

Now, select: Advanced
Click Next, and follow the prompts.

Please click Select All and Delete to remove all McAfee Registry items, folders and files listed by Revo.

If asked to restart the computer, please do so.

Now, try to download something witht IE, and see if you get the "...contained a virus and was deleted."

Lol Cottonball read my post

 

[Prescottbob]

Still get the virus message in IE. Now I.ve got the AVG Secure Search screen when I open IE. I did say DON'T ENABLE AVG thing on the REVO download. Revo said the uninstall was was success.

 

[Prescottbob]

Hang with me a while. I'm trying JACEE'S AUTORUN with WinRAR

A file came out so WinRAR works better.

 

[Prescottbob]

If I uninstall REVO maybe the AVG screen will go away??

 

[cottonball]

Are there any AVG items in Control Panel > Programs and Features > Uninstall Programs?
If so, please uninstall any and all.

Go back to Revo, and see if there is any AVG entry of any kind left in there, and if so, Uninstall it.

 

[Prescottbob]

AVG and Revo deleted ok from Control Panel
