HOW TO GET RID OF 'IMINENT' and 'GADGETBOX' TROJAN MALWARE SPYWARE BACKDOOR VIRUS?

[Graham]

You've asked this question before and I'm assuming the answer I gave failed to fix the problem, so I'll attempt a different approach.

Try this:

Firstly, boot your computer to the Safe Mode menu screen. You do this by repeatedly pressing F8 as soon as you boot up. Once there, use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode with Networking. Continue to boot from there, by pressing Enter. You will now see some drivers being loaded. There will be a pause at some point. This usually lasts for no more than 30 seconds.

Start Internet Explorer, and when the program is open, click on the Tools menu and select Internet Options.

Now click on the Connections tab.

Now click on the Lan settings button.

Where it says Use a proxy server for your Lan, ensure there is no tick in the box, then press the OK button to close this screen. Now press the OK button to close the Internet Options screen.



If that's all okay, remain in Safe Mode and try this...

Open your browser, copy and paste this link into the address bar and press Enter. It's a direct download for RKill. Save it to your desktop, then run it. It takes just a minute to run. As it's running, any remaining desktop icons will vanish for a few seconds. When the notepad report is displayed, just close it.

RKill SHOULD HAVE STOPPED THE INFECTION(S) FROM RUNNING, BUT IT WON'T HAVE REMOVED IT / THEM.

Now download and run TDSSKiller.exe from Kaspersky Lab. It's tiny, and takes just a minute to run. It hunts down and kills a specific family of rootkits:

Regardless of the results, download the free version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM). Install it, get updates and run a full scan (still in Safe Mode). This is a direct download link. Copy and paste it into your browser’s address bar, and press Enter.

After this, try rebooting normally. If that's successful, I recommend you run another full scan with MBAM. It will detect malware that wasn't running in Safe Mode.

You should now delete RKill and TDSSKiller.exe, as updated versions are often made available. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware can be easily uninstalled, should you wish to do so, but it may prove to be beneficial in the future.

Hope this helps.
