I recently incountered a virus like ive never seen before, its the single most powerful virus U have encountered in my years and I cant get rid of it. Some of u might of heard of the dreaded "system security 2009" virus, this thing will consume ur pc or in my case my virtual pc on my mac and will suck it dry.
1.It stops u from opening pretty much every single application u have
2.It is a fake virus protection called "sytem security 2009"
3.Ive tryed everything, it stops u from searching for its files in the search application.
4.Stops u from deleteing its proccessers .
5.And all files no matter what they are, including virus protection and even my windows media player have been "infected" but really the virus has made it so they are unusable.

I have searched for hours and hours on how to cure this lil poofter of a virus but I have come up short or they have given me a step behind, so I have come to my nearest and dearest game community in hopes that u can help me stop this rekless virus.
PLEASE HELP ME!

PS: search system security 2009 virus, this is no laughing matter!

Format your HDD and remember and dont be stupid and open strange exe files and stop downloading bad pr0n. Viruses like this are complex, it;s clear you downloaded an exe file you shouldn't have and ran it. Silly boy.

Given that you've searched for hours, it's likely you've already seen this, but:

I'd be wary of this one...it's got popups, but it also seems to have plenty of information:

Format?

New computer?
I can do neither, since its a mac the pc is a virtual drive thus having no dos to start up with disc, also just right clicking on the hard drive and clicking format does not alow u since system security is mearly constintely running in ur HD.

True. Are you running VMware Fusion or something?

Turn your PC on in Safe Mode if you already know what the files name is and manually delete it.
(you can't if it's in your registry unfortunately you can't access it)
Or format your hardrive if it has to come down to it.

*EDIT: err Mac? Go throw the mac away and buy a PC.

Thats interesting i didn't know you couldn't wipe a Mac's memory.

If Macs of a Safe Mode start up, then you could easily format your HDD afterwards.
it stops all processes from running. except the OS

Put in your operating system disc, it will let you format you system then (I've had to do it almost 3 times now, due to a few crashes and shutdowns during updates)

Eradicate the Virus, I have Anti-Virus capabilities that would make the NSA shudder.

Look, the D-209 Lotus is kinda like Linux on crack but it keeps my Computer safe. I can send you the file, buts its heavily encrypted. I have a tech-geek friend who cooked up up from 3 coffee fueled evenings of constant programming.

All you need to say is "go" and I can tell my friend to send you the file. Its not a .exe it auto-executes and starts unfolding. Give it 24 hours to work its way into your systems. Your computer will be wonky for a day but after it finishes its job just run a defragment and disk cleanup and the file will have been burned out. Also, so will most of the infected hard-drive an most of your programs. Sorry, its a worthy sacrifice.

I only activated it once to Nuke my computer becuase it caught a pr0n virus and I couldn't convince Internet Explorer to let me fix it. He calls it the D-209 Lotus virus, I just call it the "miracle working but totally illegal virus removal software". This thingy is basically a worm that can get past your viruses firewalls and destroy it.


Its your call.

EDIT: Totally not illegal, just checked. Just fighting fire with more fire.

The best thing for removing almost any virus that operates like this is MalwareByte's Anti-Malware, if you can still access the Internet then this program is quite useful. All you have to do is Google it.
Besides that, it's free.

can you access the xp drive from your mac partition?

if you can you can delete the executables/files used by the infection.

if you still have your OS disk, you can do it from the recovery console.

you could create a bootable linux disk and boot to that and remove the files.

if you can delete the files associated with the infection. the registry keys are easily removed once all those files are deleted.

Sounds like you have Conficker. Lucky you. Here's a few sites that could help you learn more about it.The first will tell you if it's conficker or not. Second talks about the virus more.

Download Malwarebytes any way possible. Ask on their forums for help.
EDIT: If it will not install, try renaming it.

I do laugh at your predicament. Stop downloading porn.

i sorta wish it wasn't my friend is nutty as a squirrels pantry. he decided that instead of any old antivirus he wanted to make something even the Cylons can't crack (just in case they try)
