mfletch Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 You run a program called RKill first then MBAM Rkill will assist your scanner and remover in terminating malicious processes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest topshot_2k Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) As said you need to boot to safe mode, enter a serial key, Run RKILL and before restarting run malwarebytes. Google the serial keys which stop it pestering for payment, rkill allows you to run .exes again and then malwarebytes will remove it.
