Just ran Malware Bytes and it cant remove this: Registry Values Detected: 1 HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Run|29920 (Trojan.Agent) -> Data: C:\PROGRA~3\LOCALS~1\Temp\msqeuaw.com -> No action taken. How could I manually remove this safely?
Boot from recovery CD, launch command line and remove file. Also you can open registry hive and remove that "29920". Edit: You can also burn Kaspesrky (or any other antivirus) emergency CD, boot from it and let it clean the rig...
Go into safemode and run malwarebytes and you shouldnt have a problem removing. If that fails run hijack this, paste the log into Hijack analyzer, find that regkey and delete manually.

Could not open file connection. Still none the wiser! In safemode Malwarebytes could not remove it. I am unsure of how to find this reg.
Code: (spoiler) ... (/spoiler) only use square brackets instead round ones Don`t use safe mode. Use boot from CD/DVD/USB.
But even if I do that I still don't know how to remove it. Hell I can't even find it in Windows let alone DOS command in Windows install! I was not that into PC's when I was younger.
Registry Values Detected: 1 HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Run|29920 (Trojan.Agent) -> Data: C:\PROGRA~3\LOCALS~1\Temp\msqeuaw.com -> No action taken. I just went to this in regedit and it won't let me delete it. Does any one know how I can delete this booting from DVD? Will try to Google it. Thanks all. EDIT: I managed to remove it! Hope it does not come back after computer restart. I went into regedit, found it then clicked on it then went into the menu and clicked edit, permissions. I clicked full control and it was gone. I am assuming the other entry (Default) is a windows one in the 'run' part of the registry location above. Cheers for all the help guys. Will write back if it comes back after restart. Just running Malware bytes again.
Make a bootable usb thumbdrive with bitdefender live with the help of Yumi usb,boot from it and solve this issue.
As i said in another thread if malwarebytes fails then run Bitdefender. If that fails you may need to boot into a live environment by using a CD like anticupidon said. If it still fails i would just backup and reinstall. The best protection is prevention ie: Having security software inplace to stop any malware getting into the registry or anywhere else.
I use MSE (enough said mabe) and it found nothing. I ran ESTonline scan via the little program (as it's not compatible with FF, PM) and it found one thing but wiped it. 2 trojan horses were picked up by Malware bytes but could not delete one. Have not had any problems for years until now!
I ran that program. No problems! Thanks for the link. I noticed in that program there are options under utilities. Not sure if I should use any of those. Reason why I ask is because I used a program called Toolwiz Care that was recommended on this site. Some of the options allow you to 'optimise' your broadband settings in Windows. I feel that maybe, just maybe they have actaully slowed things down. Take a look at this pic and see what you think of these 'tweaks' and if they need reversing.
Does it really make a difference? I have tried it in the past but sometimes things seemed slower. Do you just click the optimise settings and be done? Surely Windows 7 does not need such tweaks? Maybe I used it wrong. EDIT: I know this is a noob question to ask but with my connection I can download up to 1.8 per second. What is that megabytes or bits? Speedtest shows 14.66. I never did find out dohh. Basically I'm asking because of the slider on above program.
Thanks for that. I used the slider and moved it to 14 then hit optimise. Will this have a good effect on games online? Does it affect the browser too? I'm guessing so.
