Hi,

1. Download TDSSKiller and extract its contents into a folder in desired location (i.e. c:\tdsskiller).
2. Execute the file TDSSKiller.exe.
3. Click Start Scan. If threats are found, select skip and click Continue (tool may prompt for a reboot).
4. Post back contents of log file in c: drive root (name should be in UtilityName.Version_Date_Time_log.txt format)
 
not working

I did everything u told me too and I cant get the TDSS killer to start. I have tried over and over I even went to the kaspersky website and got it directly from there and the tool will not start any ideas
thank you
Michelle

Hi again,


Uninstall old Adobe Reader versions and get the latest one (Adobe Reader 10.1 and separate 10.1.1 update for it) here or get Foxit Reader here. Make sure you don't (unless you want to) install toolbar if choose Foxit Reader! You may also check free readers introduced here.

* Go here to run an online scanner from ESET.

Hi,

Do you get any error messages? If possible try to run TDSSKiller/aswMBR in safe mode.
 
Nothing

I have tried to run both the TDSSKiller and the aswMBR in safe mode and neither start. There is no error messages in either safe mode or regular start. When I click them the permission box comes up I agree and nothing else happens after that I have tired over and over
