thank…your advise was a big help…i got raid of that pest…thank you.
I can tell you how to solve the problem. Extermination. Take all of the people that design bullshit like this, pass a few new laws (if it makes some people feel better) and execute them. The world as a whole will be a lot better off. Realize the sheer volume of grief they cause to millions of people. Execute a few of the parasites and the world will rejoice. It is NOT a moral dilemma for me I consider it an act of self preservation.
Amen
Considering the fact that this virus is a new kind, we must fear these people. What is the computer who controls the nuclear missiles get one of these?
Kaboom, a virus started the World War III and we need to rise against the machines!!!
hum hum, ok I just get ride of thes sh*t and I think the creator is one of the majors of movies and music. Take care and block all cookies and automatic download the next time!
Please help!
I cannot find the appropriate process in windows task manager to exterminate this awful virusremover2008. Spybot and malware applications no help. Obviously, it does not show up in add/remove programs. Still popping up frequently and telling me I have a security issue. Please help! Vista home, xp… thanks!
ohh i also went into task manager (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) and found the process for virusremover2008 i forget what it was somthing like vrm2008 maybe and ended it. then i went into control panel and was able to remove the virus remover 2008 , but malwarebytes helped a lot
this seemed to work for me. click on start…all programs…accessories…system tools…system restore. type in a date prior to when you got the virus…click okay.
would you please stop your ad on my pc .i have mckafee 2009.
Well.
It has disabled my task manager.
It has disabled my system restore.
“tasklist” is not recognised as a prompt on my command prompt it seems.
and so I think my supercomputer is going to be poorly for a while longer.
Can anyone help? Please?

Step by step solving of issues mentioned by you!!
Click Start–>Run
Type REGEDIT—>OK
The Registry Editor will now open
Browse to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\system
In the right pane, look for the value: DisableTaskMgr
Right click DisableTaskMgr and select Delete. (When prompted with “Are you sure you want to delete this value”, select Yes.
Now browse to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\policies\system
In the right pane, look for the value: DisableTaskMgr
Right click DisableTaskMgr and select Delete. (When prompted with “Are you sure you want to delete this value”, select Yes.
Close the Registry by choosing File | Exit
You should now be able to access Task Manager. If not, reboot into Safe Mode and repeat the steps outlined above.
To fix your System restore problem(please note that system restore must be turned off while u try to remove spyware and virus..to avoid chances of a possibel rollback!!!)
Start the System Control Panel applet. Select the System Restore tab. Clear the “Turn off System Restore on all drives” check box to enable System Restore, or select this check box to disable System Restore. Click OK. Also here:
To delete older restore points, but leave the system restore turned on: Right Click the Drive in question/Properties/Disk Cleanup/More Options/System Restore/Cleanup.
You can also click the Settings button to set a maximum amount of space that you want each drive to use for restore information. If the drive you select isn’t the system drive, you can also disable System Restore on a per-drive basis. The maximum amount of space that you can use for restore information is 12 percent per drive.
Please note that an alternative to the usual method of enabling and disabling Windows XP’s System Restore feature is to use the registry. To use this alternative, perform the following steps: Start the registry editor same way as u did for task manager enabling.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore.
If a “DisableSR” value doesn’t exist, go to the Edit menu, select New, DWORD value, and create the value.
Set the value to 1 to disable System Restore or 0 to enable System Restore.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\sr to prevent the System Restore service from starting.
Double-click Start, and set the value to 4 to stop the service from starting or to 0 for normal startup. Close the registry editor.
Also I think the problem of your tasklist must be because teh task manager was disabled.Please try teh following steps and get back with whatever results you get!!! Mates..i need your inputs on this!!
the forum is waiting!!!
For all those bashing the guys that created these viruses/spyware. Be careful what you say about the CIA/NSA. If you think its some low life doing this than in most cases your wrong. How do you think the intelligence agencies build up their massive databases. Presto, they have the market covered since they also now own most of the popular firewalls, anti virus applications out there. Its the classic Problem-solution case. Why do you think the army decided to release the Internet to the general public in the first place. its all to build up databases on everyone. duhhh. anywho there is no real advice in my comments. in the world of intelligence you cant trust anyone. even those things that proved to be trustworthy before. Well i guess the only advice is to have yourself 2 computers. one for surfing the internet and a 2nd one not attached to any internet or network at all for all the other stuff. anywho some of these worms do get annoying as hell to get rid off. As Hancock once said, Good Job.
