Removing WinAD malware
Heyeveryone,I'm having trouble removing the malware WinAD from my computer running Windows 7... I've ran malwarebyte antimalware software, and it doesnt pick it up. I ran Adaware anniversary edition and the adaware2008 version and they both detect it, and say it will remove after reboot, however it remains there after the reboot. It looks like as well Windows 7 doesnt have the mrt tool avaliable either since i cant pull it up on the search/run bar on the start button... any suggestions anyone?

Did you run these in safe mode?

You can run mrt on Win7, its called KB890830 and type it in the search box not the run box, if its not found then go to MS KB site and download the current file(8meg) and install it ant it will then run on your Win7 machine

unfortunately the mrt tool didnt pick it up either, but adaware keeps detecting it in normal mode, but not safe mode... its pretty wierd...
