Instashare got me too!

Hi, I caught this persistent malware about 5 days ago, and tried every way possible, until I came cross this website this evening. Thank to ken545 for his reply (I registered just to say this).

Like TheJDawg, I needed to use Combofix.exe, using ken545's CFscript, after identifying the malware file (for me, it was vSEFuPto.exe). For reference, the antivirus scan result for me is here:

Super work, and timely too! Thanks for helping me get rid of this sickeningly persistent malware!

FYI .... all the scans and scripts we run are just for that user, running a script for FRST or especially Combofix that wasn't written for you and your system can sometimes to irreversible damage
