Re: Power Eraser vs rogue a/v.

Yes, I remove minnint,  but only temporarily...long enough for me to boot up normally (not in safe mode) once. The next time I boot up...there it is again and the boot stops. As long as I don't shut down, or reboot, everything is normal.While I had it running, I downloaded a Norton ugrade and ran a full system scan. Found and removed 24 tracking cookies, but did not mention the rogue virus.

 

Could the stray right hand bracket be causing a problem?

I did not tell you to do what you have dione with Norton did I??

 

Get yourself into Normal Mode and stay there don't restart. I have the next step in waiting.

Re: Power Eraser vs rogue a/v.

Now look and read carefully,

 

I have more than one way of doing this including with Windows not loading, burt lets try this way  The BCD

 

Immediately do the following getting into Normal Mode

Click Start ,  All Programs,  Accessories,

Right click on Command prompt and click "Run as Administrator"

.

Type the following line and press Enter.  (Note : the brackets are NOT [ ]  but { }, also note the spaces

 

bcdedit /set {default} winpe no

Re: Power Eraser vs rogue a/v.

Like this guy

 

 


After typing bcdedit /set {default} winpe no

 

It said something along the lines that the process has been run.

I then restarted the computer and it has now boot normally for the first time in almost a month. Everything seems to be working fine. I have now idea what that command did/does but it seems to have resolved the boot issue.


 

can you now boot boot normally also after the BCD alteration??

Re: Power Eraser vs rogue a/v.

That's OK, this malware and others like it, its better to make sure every step is cmpleted in order successfully.  Longer but safer.

 

When I started to read "Didn't reboot.... '"  I thought OH Bugger. till I read the rest.
