    Infected by bankerfox.a virus

    Hi friends,
    My computer got infected by this virus some how, i'm not understanding that how i got infected by this threat, it doesn't allow me open task manager or to enter the registry editor and also i cannot open my spyware program. I have also downloaded other spyware programs but still it won’t allow me to open them. A message popup's everytime saying that .exe file is infected. I want it to get removed from my desktop because it's taking over file by file. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I was having same virus issue but got removed by doing the following steps. To remove BankerFox.A spyware you have to block all the BankerFox.A sites, after that stop and remove all processes, make unregistration of all DLL files, search for all other BankerFox.A files and registry utility and delete them. The most typical way to remove software BankerFox.A by using "Add or Remove Programs" program. It is necessary to do because your system may contain hidden BankerFox.A files, running processes and registries.

    I'll provide you some guidelines to overcome with your problem. If you want to successfully remove all malware infections i.e (viruses, spyware, adware etc) from your system then you'll need to follow some guidelines as well as using effective tools.

    1. First thing is to turn System Restore off, because if any infection is removed should not restore.

    2. Scan your system with a combination of the best detection utilities because different scanners sometimes pick up different infections. Like
    McAfee Stinger, SpyBot Search & Destroy, Lavasoft Adaware.

    3. It would be great if you disconnect your network connection after you updated your antivirus with the latest virus/spyware definitions.

    4. If the above steps doesn't work then, try with the safe mode, when you start your PC tap F8 key, select “Safe Mode” and once again repeat the scans.

    I hope the above mentioned steps should help you.
