Worm.Win32.Netbooster Removal Instructions (Netbooster)
April 27th, 2008 by Karen
Worm.Win32.Netbooster (also know as Worm.Win32 or Netbooster) used to be a real virus, now fake anti-spyware software like IE Defender will display Worm.Win32.Netbooster as their scan result to trick user to buy the fake anti-spyware program. The fake anti-spyware program usually get installed onto your PC without your permission, through Trojan, malware and virus (or you could get it by installing a fake video codec). fake anti-spyware will display the Worm.Win32.Netbooster fake system alerts or fake security alerts to trick user to buy the Paid Version of the fake anti-spyware program.
The possible error messages are either “Your browser was hijacked by Worm.Win32.Netbooster”, or “Your browser was hijacked by Worm.Win32.Netbooster”. As discussed previously, these messages are completely misleading. You can safely remove Worm.Win32.Netbooster by following our manual removal instructions if you are familiar with regedit and dll files. Good luck!

I was unable to find any of those files to unregister/delete/change. So, I ran Spybot, Adaware, Spy Hunter 3, and Symantec Antivirus…deleted the questionable registries…ran CCleaner emptied Recycle Bin and Restored the System to 3 days prior to the infection date. It apears to be running fine, now. We’ll see.

Help! When I try to unregister these files, i get an error that says they cannot be found. What to do next? I can’t run Norton or Spybot or anything since i get an error that reads there is no program associated with this file.

Quick question: If I find more than 1 .dll file with the same name, which ones do I keep-If any-and how do I know? For example, pmspl.dll is in C:\WINDOWS\system32 and C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache, also in WIN98SE, WINME, and WIN98. Help soon…

The people that make these stupid parasitic programs should be thrown in jail for years. With technology as widespread as it is and as much as it controls, these people are as good as terrorists.

I have got the same virus just by surfing net. now i am unable to do any thing. It seems that re installation will be the ultimate solution because the manual instruction are not working. the creator of this spyware might have change the names of ablve DLL files because they are not found while following the above instructins.

I have inadvertantly infected my laptop with worm.win32.netbooster and I acn’t get rid of it. I have paid to upgrade my AVG antivirus software, but it cannot get rid of it. When I click on my “start” button the “all programs” button has disappeared and so has the “control panel” so I cannot go into “add or remove programs”.
Please help!!!!

Chris - My Dad has same problem and Im looking for him but we managed to right click on the start menu and explore from there. Found Add/remove programs from there as another website has said that these things (if you know what you are looking for) can be uninstalled in some cases. However since its his computer I have no idea what program is what…but anyhoo right click and go from there.

In order to access your programs you have to right click start and set it to custom settings. After that you can access run and search. Go to Search and click on “All Files and Folders” and after that set the “Look in” thing to “Local Hard Drives(C:)” and in the search area type in dll. After that find the dll file that was created on the date you got the virus and right click on it and go to “Open Containing Folder” this will take you to the folder where the virus is which will most likely be “System 32″. Do not just start deleting files because then you will destroy your computer. Find the dll file and delete it. It probably won’t work because it is in use by another person or application. Try renaming the file and replacing “.dll” with “.doc” and then move it. Once again, this may not work and if it doesn’t try googling how to delete it.
