Win32.2UrFace.bho

[mgfrench]

I have recently started a virus scan on Search & Destroy... I'm currently doing the virus scan in safe mode. Can I manually remove the virus? if so, how? I'm a computer dummy btw.

Hello samward,

Please let us know the result.

Best regards.

I had the same issues as "samward" and several others with the "Win32.2Urface.bho" malware. I ran Spybot 3 times and found the malware 3 times. Spybot could not get rid of it. So, I tried booting up in safe mode, then running Spybot. Spybot found it again, fixed it, and I was able to purge it from the quarantine file (which I hadn't been able to do before.) After booting the computer up normally, I ran Spybot one more time and ... TA-DA... the malware was not found again! BTW, I'm using Windows7 and the free version of Spybot.

Hello mgfrench,

Scanning in safe mode allows the program to try and remove items that keep reappearing after a scan, despite having been 'fixed'.

Thanks for sharing your own experience.

Cheers.
