Hi,
I found only three files listed above. I deleted two files but the last file I can not delete it because it said it is in used.

Please help, I still getting the annoying popup.

Mike,
Try to rename the last file (for example if your file is named “abc.dll” rename it to “abc_bad_file.dll”). Then reboot your computer, then try to delete the file and then reboot your computer one more time.

Thank you all for your help. I’m pretty familiar with computers, but some of these new “fake” viruses that are really just ads for spyware removal tools really get on my nerves. I had the fake Trojan.Win32.Obfuscated.gx and thanks to all you guys, I was able to find the appropriate .dlls to delete and the fastest way to go about doing it (took only 30 mins, including reading time, for all of you out there taking hours). I know DOS, but forget to use it most times. Worked real well in safe mode. Thanks again.

I had the same problem and only what you have to do is the following: programs, accessories, system tools, SYSTEM RESTORE and to mark a any date before.

After that my computer is working properly as before.

Best regards, Andrej

Andrej,

Thank you thank you thank you!!!

I was going crazy with this horrible Trojan.Win32.Obfuscated spyware. Porn ads were also popping up in my search engine. By using your method, I got rid of the junk in 5 minutes! I had been on the computer for hours before finding this simple tool. Yeah! I have my life back again.

I’m using vista and don’t have a restore point dated back before I got this problem. It’s not allow me to create one except current date & time (like I can with my desktop, which is xp). Does anyone know how to do it? I’m also not able to open up this page with my infected laptop! It shows up under google as ‘page not found’. Weird…

critical system error

By Kytha on Mar 20, 2008 | Reply

I have a horrible virus problem, popups keep coming up every few seconds to the point that my computer is unusable and then although I use firefox, ie has this new toolbar that I didn’t install. I have Windows Vista, and I tried a system restore to an earlier date, but it said an unspecified error had occurred and no changes to my registry had been made. I rebooted my computer in safe mode and attempted a system restore from that, so far it’s been taking about 3 hours and it’s still going on. I’ve done a system restore on a different computer before and it only took about 20 minutes max. I’m going crazy, someone please please help
