Failed Removal

I've tried several times to remove the malware with Spy Bot 1.4 and it will say the removal of all items was successful; but when I go to my windows/systems32 folder I can see the malware is still there, I've tried to delete as many as I could manually, but others were being accessed and I couldn't get rid of them, and shortly later the ones I've deleted manually just regenerate.

I don't know what to make of this, the damn Windows Security Center is nagging the ever living <insert profane word combation here> out of me.

MicroSoft is really begining to upset me, I can't believe they'd do something like this- they got tons of cash as it is!

At any rate, I had something similar to this happen before, but Spy Bot was able to remove them then, and now it can't.

I get these problems when ever windows updates.

I used the SmitFraud removal pack in safe mode, it removed all of the items.

I ran the scan again after reboot in normal.

Sigh... I'm going to have to format... The internet is turning into a shit hole.

There's nearly no point in doing work on computers any more, it all gets trashed or youre disrupted every 2 ******** minutes and can't work.

Okay, so far so good...

What I did was watch what the smitfraud app. picked up as malicious, and I double checked the entries in windows32.

I noticed the srv32.dll was being deleted, but srv32.exe was not, so I check its properties and the company that make it was called "Trojan Company".

Well, that rang an alarm :P so I restarted to Safemode, launched the app. and cleaned, then delete the srv32.exe.

May want to put that little snip-bit in the Sticky with the app.

I also delete all temeporary files and cookies to be safe.

It seems this only happens to me when windows updates, also I deleted limewire and edonkey because even tho I do not use them that often I saw that they were in use when I myself did not use them at that date, apparently P2P isnt just dangerous when you cognitively download a file, but there may be security exploits to allow intrusion even when you dont use them.

Hope my experience helps out, I was really getting irritated.

Alarmware creators need shot in the head with a pellet gun, and if they dont get the clue then, something a bit more powerful would do the trick; the damn scourges.
