    I think that the virus should be removed by using the Microsoft security essential application if you are using windows 7. Download a copy of Microsft security essential on your system and then install it. perform a full scan on your system using this application you can definitely remove the Worm:Win32/Koobface.W hope fully the virus should be fixed.

    As far as i know you will not be allowed to install the Microsoft security essential or any similar antivirus application on your system because the Worm:Win32/Koobface.W will not allow. But you can do this by simply renaming the setup file , so simply rename it either to iexplorer.exe or to firefx.exe. Hope that this will help you.

    Koobface is a trojan which spreads on social networks (MySpace, Facebook etc. ..). Once infected, the account of the social network is used to post messages containing links to pages that redirect to download videos. So you must try to remove the worm as soon as you can otherwise the Worm:Win32/Koobface.W will infect your system files too which will ultimately result in your system crash.

    The thing to understand is that to have a better chance of infecting your computer is a series of exploits for Windows or third party software that are tested. You will have to purchase a good and powerful antivirus application like the escan antivirus 10 because the Microsoft security essential is not powerful enough to get this problem resolved. escan will definitely help you to fix this issue.
