System Toolware Malware problem.....can't get rid of it!
Hello, Bugbatter suggested I post here as i don't seem able to get rid of the System Tool malware.
I followed the link with instructions that Bugbatter provided to the letter and rebooted after replacing the HOST file and it was still there. MBAM states nothing suspicious there after doing all the necessary probably as I had managed to get Microsoft Security Essentials run in safe mode earlier and removed a Trojan and another nasty.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

On looking at what is happening I think we have removed some of the stuff and possibly left with some residual i.e. desktop pics of the warning notices .....probably running as a slideshow as the background is blue!
I've got the MSE etc icons back again which was lost for a wee while but still have that annoying ball thingy which represents the software.

Welcome to Dell Community.
Although we appreciate his trying to help, please be aware that Chunks_ is not listed as a graduate of the malware removal schools that we contacted.
My security will not allow me to access the site he has posted. It has a WOT rating of "Poor Reputation". http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/mypchealth.co.uk.
It is understood by the trained analysts that once a helper replies to a log, he continues working with you until the issue is resolved.
Ziggywigs, you have some choices:
1. You can, at risk, continue working with the person who has taken ownership of this thread.
2. You can repost your log at the top of the forum as a New Message, and wait for a trained analyst to reply.
A list is here: Please Read This Before Posting On The Malware Removal Forum
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
