Remove trojan MsRun32.exe Virus

[DANIEL 602]

Hi,
It seems to be that my pc is infected with some nasty trojans. I downloaded few softwares, and all of a sudden, my computer was shutting down.

I would post a hijack this, etc. log, but i don't have access to it at the moment. (My computer is not functioning.)

I found msrun32.exe in the task manager, under the running processes. I did a quick web search, and figured it was the culprit.

Thank you in advance for any help!!

Download HJTInstall.exe

• Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop.
• Doubleclick on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop.
• By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis .
• Click on Install.
• It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
• Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
• Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
• Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
• Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
• DO NOT have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

The virus MsRun32.exe is also related to W32.Imaut.CO which spreads easily with the removable drives. So without wasting any time let us remove the infection.

Steps:

Temporarily disable the System Restore.

• Also backup the registry before performing the following steps to restore any unlikely changes.
  
• Restart the PC in the safe mode.
  
• Kill the process msrun32.exe from the task manager.
  
• Remove the process from the startup list of msconfig (type msconfig.exe in Run).
  
• Search for the process in the My Computer and delete every instance of it.

Now

• Scan the computer with good Anti Virus and download Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware that will clean your system from Malwares, hopefully this one too.
  
• Open registry editor and search for msrun32.exe, delete all the instances that come up, including this one.
  
• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\”MSN Messengger” = “%System%\MsRun32.exe”
  
  
• Reboot.
