How can I get rid of Chinese virus ?

[Martin Roy]

My PC has got a Chinese virus , when I right click on any drive , some Chinese words appear instead of "open" and "explore" options. It has made my PC very slow.

Want to perfect solution

That sounds like the BMK Spam virus from Pakistan.

Switch the computer off immediately, before it's too late.

So, you have had this since the begining of the month. (Crystal ball is working)

Download Dr.Web CureIT and run it. It will not need installing or checking for updates as it is a one-off-latest-version scanner. Let it remove all that it finds. Then you can uninstall it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then: (I know you were advised to get MalwareBytes {MBAM}, but don't know if you ran it.)

1st thing to do is clear out all your temporary files, tool of choice is ATF Cleaner, it is free and you do not have to install it. Download and instructions here (Windows XP, 2K, 2003 & Vista ONLY)
* NOTE : If you would like to keep your saved passwords, click No at the prompt.

-- Click on ATF-Cleaner to run it
-- Where it says Select Files To Delete, Check the Select All Option
-- Click Empty Selected - > OK

If you use Firefox browser, do this also:

* Click Firefox at the top and choose Select All from the list.
* Click the Empty Selected button.


Then, please download MalwareBytes' AntiMalware using the BLUE button for the FREE version.


* Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
* At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to the following:

o Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
o Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

* Then click Finish

If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.

* Once the program has loaded, select > Perform Quick Scan, then click > Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click > OK, then > Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click > Remove Selected.
* When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Save this log to My Documents in case it is needed for reference.
Reboot as required.

Report back. And tell us which Operating System you have, XP, Vista or Windows 7?



If Malwarebytes Anti-malware or any of your security programs won’t install, run or update, then you’ve probably got malware or the effects of malware on the computer (some types of malware will disable Malwarebytes Anti-malware and other security tools).
