No it was just the website. The links where dead. But by loading the website, some script shit raped me. And no I don't have zonealarm, and the virus prevent me from going to any web address containing any antivirus or security company name.
Yeah, the antivirus peeps ought to have some random "stealth" names to get around the viruses that block them from running. Wonder why they haven't thought of that?
One possibility -- Find your "hosts" file and see if it has a bunch of new entries. It should be in
c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts -- open it up in Notepad and remove any entries you find that talk about security sites. That's one way they try to keep you away from the antivirus companies. It might be hooked in deeper, but it's worth a look.
Sounds like you can still get to Task Manager but the bad process is hidden. Will it let you run REGEDIT?
If so, you may be able to find the key where stuff gets started at boot and rip out everything that isn't essential. Look here --
HKEY_Local_Machine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Also look for things defined as "services" -- that's where the rootkit would start up and hide its helper processes from the Task Manager.
There's no guarantee that will work; Microsoft came up with a way to keep you from being able to remove certain parts of the system even in REGEDIT -- the first thing they used it for was the f-cking Microsoft Game Zone. (Don't get me started on THAT bit of idiocy!) Virus writers use it sometimes, but not all of them.
The rescue kit approach starting from a clean boot is your best shot.
The virus writer is going to try to fight back, first by not letting you edit your config files or Registry, and then by replacing the bad entries and relaunching his code from as many different places as he can. If you miss one, the whole mess starts up again.
For future reference, Spybot S&D has an add-on called "teatimer" that will not let a drive-by download add
anynew entries to your registry until you click "OK"; it's simpler to use than ZoneAlarm, and in my opinion it's better for the average user. Unless you are deliberately installing new software, you can Just Say No.
