Had one the other day with Windows Police Pro on it and couldn't boot
into safe mode, couldn't run the task manager fix and couldn't load /
run MBytes. After about 2 1/2 hours (shouldn't have spent more than 10
minutes, but I'm stubborn), I finally prescribed a format & re-install.

 

I can sort of understand how the Trojan authors get off on their
cleverness, but I'm advocating that we bring back public flogging, just
for them...

1. Often, these trojans will keep REAL anti-malware applications from
running.  However, if the system can be booted into Safe Mode (I came
across one that could not!), MalwareBytes at least ought to run. 

2. They guy is being prevented from downloading MBytes or anything else
on that machine.  He will need to obtain a copy of MBytes or VIPRERESCUE
elsewhere and install from portable media. 

3. I've seen entirely too many of these occurrences on systems with
McAfee on them. 

Good luck!
