After the initial infection, the computer began running a "IEXPLORE.EXE" thats no the actual internet explorer. I ran a number of virus scans with ZONE and it would tell me that IEXPLORE.EXE is trying to act as a server. It could not fix.
Tried System Restore. Still infected after. IEXPLORE.EXE process cannot be shut down via task manager.
Booted into safe mode to install and run a different Virus scan software. In safe mode, fake IEXPLORE.EXE is running and I cannot shut down the task manually.
NOW after i get to the desktop in safemode nothing will start! I can't run Hijackthis or any antivirus!
In normal mode, the computer is "loading" tons on start up and then auto restarts within 30-60 seconds.
Now safemode won't even load after F8 on startup ... gets stuck on "loading your personal settings".
tried using msconfig in my 60sec of normal mode to change to safeboot and got "an acces denied error was returned while attempting to change a service."
Need major help
How can I manually fix my startup and begin to remove this virus? ( fake IEXPLORE.EXE )?liveupdate
Then I hope you have a full system backup you can restore from, because your system is now owned, by someone other than you.
You can try Regedit, and checking the Run keys in User and LocalMachine, (Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersi... and see if you can disable it from there, but it's a longshot.
