Recently one of my machines was hit by some malware called "Antivirus XP
2008" forcing me to remove it by doing such things as removing registry
entries, disabling processes at startup, deleting most recent files in
System32 and Temp, stopping Security Centre under services.msc etc. I finally
removed it by running Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware in safe mode & running the
full scan overnight. The next morning, I carried out the removal process of
the discovered malware. Spybot SD was then able to run after this. I ran
Spybot (definitions updated) and it discovered and removed some more
malicious items. It now seems as if the malware has been removed except for
its startup processes still visible but disabled in MSconfig.
The problem now is the system appears to be stuck in safe mode (I've tried
accessing normal startup with that F8 stuff but still reverts back) with
Windows XP themes disabled, Limited Accounts missing & the ADSL network
connection profile in Control Panel missing. It seems to differ from safe
mode in that the "safe mode" text is missing, monitor resolution & framerate
is at normal. I can't access the internet from that machine or get it back to
normal.
Please help, this is quite urgent.
Did you tried to Restore the Machine to an earlier date before messing with
the registry Keys?
Try in safe and Restore your system to an earlier date and see if that will
take you back to normal and then work your way with malwarebytes or
superantispyware with other scanners to remove this Viral infection.
