Running vista. Lap top is infected with system fix. How can i get rid of system fix for free? I downloaded spy doctor and after the scan it wants me to buy it. Is there a way to get rid of it for free?
OK
First on a separate computer download Combofix and Malwarebytes
Here

and

Then put them on a memory stick or a CD
Then boot the pc to safemode with networking.
Then install them from the stick/cd
Run them
I had everything working fine and then vista antivirus 2012 came up. Back to square one
You need to turn off System Restore before you start this
Vista antivirus 2012 is running in safe mode. When i try to turn off system restore through system properties the antivirus window pops up. I can't run the software to remove it. How do i shut it off in safe mode? Happy holidays
I was able to turn system restore off in normal start up. When i go into safe mode with networking vista anti virus 2012 is running. How do i shut it off in safe mode.
Msconfig may allow you to stop it from loading I am not sure.
Otherwise your going to have to pull the drive out of the laptop and connect it to another comptur and scan it like that
Another thought: Start, Run, and then type services.msc and see if that will allow you to turn off the service there. I usually do as Ferrit suggests and hook it to a spare computer that I use eclusively for that purpose. Good luck!
Working fine. I did everything in normal start up. Turned off restore and I was able to run malwarebyte. Thanks Ferrit.
Glad it worked . Merry Christmas
