General Computer Support / Super malicious root kit virus Trojan.msil
« on: January 14, 2015, 10:30:01 pm »
I recently started noticing my PC not having access to control panel options, such as security, windows update trouble shooter, and most of the control panel options. The system would not shut down, I left it on for 24 hours once before I manually shut it down by holding the power cord.
Fixing the issue :
In safe mode
I ran malwarebyte root beta, the program only found one file a .jpg file with Trojan.passwords.msil which I cleaned up. Assuming my system was clean I proceeded to do a normal boot and log in. Turns out I was wrong, removing the Trojan and booting in normal now only returned a black screen with my cursor on it. After some researched I read that Ctrl alt del would still work, so I made it so that I could at least restart in safe mode.
I'm on 2 small solid state drives so there is no chance I can start in safe mode by pressing the f8 key
I ran tweaking.com windows repair and everything seemed ok it went thru the entire process, however, I am receiving the black screen with only a cursor and Ctrl alt del capability.
I'll try to post my specs if I can get a follow up
Pls note I wrote this on an iPhone so spelling might be off
