My problems started with browser re-directs, then worsened to fake "antivirus" programs like "Data Protection" and "Windows Security Center" running fake scans on my computer and placing various files on my desktop. Thanks to some help from a couple forums I’ve killed off a large portion of the problems. Here is what remains to be fixed:
1) Right now, internet connection is disabled. What are the registry keys typically altered by this malware which render connection impossible?
2) Display reverted from Windows XP theme to Windows classic and I can’t change back…
3) When I run Malwarebytes, it detects infections but when it brings up a box telling me the scan is finished and I click OK with the intention of deleting those objects, the program terminates.
Any help with any of this would be greatly appreciated. I think most of it is altered registry.
