RE: Help! Everything Goes Away Except Virtumonde.prx
Download, install and update Malwarebytes.
Then go into Safe Mode, and scan your System with Malwarebytes,then Spybot
search & destroy, and then your Anti-virus.
Info on getting into Safe Mode below.
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
Malwarebytes is as the name says, a Malware Remover!
For the Free version scroll down their page to either download from
Download.com, or Major Geeks.com
Download, install, and update.
Important re: Safe Mode
If you happen to find a problem that you can’t uninstall / delete, reboot
the computer, and go into Safe Mode.
To get into Safe mode, tap F8 right at Power On / Startup, and use UP arrow
key to get to Safe Mode from list of options, then hit ENTER.
RESCAN your computer with your Anti-Virus, Malwarebytes and Spybot S & D
while in Safe Mode.
