One more virus question...

So, Malwarebytes apparently missed the launcher for the Arcade Giant virus. I get this pop-up every five minutes or so:

It only appears in the background, so I can live with it until I have time to completely reset my hard drive. I'm just curious if anyone knows how to get rid of it (I can't find it even with a search) and if it would be safe to use Paypal and whatnot while this still exists.

BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest. > Rainbow 01/25/2015 at 10:52

There's probably still a shortcut in your startup folder.

You can find it here:

C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Make sure you have hidden folders on.

No, there's nothing in there. :/

Go into Windows task scheduler (start - programs - accessories - system tools) and delete task that is set to launch that program every few minutes.

When I had trovi (a browser hijacker kind if similar to yours) I used superantispyware. It works pretty well. Just do multiple full scans and if it isn't gone, go to the aggressive file removal option.

Check your scheduled tasks. Also, DL and run powershell to remove the .dll trigger.

Try this as well , download it as save to your desktop......boot into safe mode with networking and run the program. It might take over an hour to run depending on how much stuff is on your hard drive.

I moonlight to remove viruses from computers as a second job, Combofix catches a lot of stuff other programs miss.

Run regedit, search for the name of that dll, remove any references you find.
