    Default cryptic?

    Detected a browser hijacker on a friends computer, AV software can't remove version hiding in memory. MalwareBytes won't install even in safe mode Spybot S&D found something else, but when I hit the fix tab, I get an error stating Cannot create file "C:\WINDOWS\wininit.ini", access denied.

    Hello,

    Someone can assist after taking a look at the system.

    Please see this FAQ "BEFORE You POST"(Please read this Procedure Before Requesting Assistance) It includes instructions in post #2 on how to provide preliminary DDS logs, which are used for analysis.

    Then start a new topic in the Malware Removal Forum and a volunteer will advise when available.

    If the infection prevents a log being produced please start a new topic there anyway and let them know.

    Best regards.
