I got a recent Virus similar to the FBI virus but its titled national security. When I attempt to use the advice given on how to remove it, it doesn't work. I'm assuming this is a newer version of this type. Iv tried multiple manual reg-edit removals from boot-ables. Iv tried safe mode but I get a blue screen. Iv tried boot-able CD with spyware and with anti virus programs. They seem to find some viruses but not the one that has infected my PC. I have windows XP. My task manager has not worked in quit some time along with my reg-edit, I'm finding this is not helpful. It seems I can view reg-edit with a boot-able program but it wants to only allow editing on the virtual program and not my C:\. I know how to reformat but there is a few files that I feel are worth getting to. If anyone could help please respond ASAP. This is a real bumber. I thought there was no virus i couldn't remove....Ha. this one

Can you get to a Command Prompt for C:\? Try Safe Mode with Command Prompt - it seems somehow stronger and usually gets past this attack. Once there type
net user /add fred fred2013 to create a new user account for fred with the password fred2013. Restart and log into that account and you should be able to work on this in Normal Mode. ComboFix should then be able to get rid of it.

First try to 'save' your system by downloading Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 on a different system and then booting it from a USB on your infected PC before any Windows is loaded as it is possible that even in safe mode the virus has corrupted system files.

To create a bootable USB I use Rufus which is fast and easy to use. Once again, doing all this on a clean or non-infected system. When you have everything ready start up the infected computer and boot up from the USB by hitting F8, select the usb by going up or down and hitting "Enter". Once this is loaded do a full scan of all drives on the system and remove any malware shown. Then try to "Download and install ccleaner. Use the registry tool to scan and repair all issues. You may need to run this several times to resolve all the issues.

If none of this works then it seems that the virus has actually corrupted your system files - you can try to repair it using your Windows XP cd, boot from your WinXP CD. DO NOT choose repair, use Recovery console on its Welcome to Setup Screen, press ENTER (which starts the Windows Setup program) instead. After you accept its license agreement, Windows searches your system for existing Windows installation. When you reach the screen that lists your current system, select it from the list and press R to start repair process. Your last option would be to use a live linux distro to back up all your files to a hard drive, format the hard disk and to re-install windows.
