Malware infects computer; disables me to view my registry and/or download Windows Live Onecare.
Malware infects computer; disables me to view my registry and/or download Windows Live Onecare.
I have come across a stubborn malware. It disables me from viewing my registry, lists (made-up) infections, and asks me to participate in their program (scam) for 50 dollars. Suggested by a friend, I tried to download Live OneCare, although the malware blocked the download. After "cleaning up" the setup, I resume restarting my compute and trying again. The Malware just repeats the process. I can't view any images on the internet, and it seems I've come across a dead end.
It's called "MS AntiSpyware 2009".
Any Suggestions to get rid of this problem?
