    Getting rid of HackTool:Win32/Keygen trojan/virus

    My system is infected with this HackTool:Win32/Keygen trojan/virus and I am trying to remove it from past couple of days. I actually downloaded a game keygen from online. Got a file with some .exe extensions, and when I double clicked on it my antivirus Avg detected virus. So I immediately removed it, and my pc told to me restart. After doing that, when I checked my pc, still this virus was present? I dont know what else should I do to remove it, can anyone please help me? Thanks

    Can you try to restart your pc to safe mode with networking. To get into it, simply restart your computer and then tap F8 keys on your keyboard immediately when you see anything on the display, after that a menu will be presented and then click on safe mode with networking option. Now, download and install Anvi Smart Defender to remove the virus. Just make sure to update the antivirus to the latest definitions and it is also set to scan the rootkit by clicking settings that will be prompted to you. After that do a full scan from the antivirus and then remove it and reboot the pc.

    Can you try to download ComboFix, by searching it on the net and then save it to your desktop. After that close any internet browsers that are open. Now, you also have to disable all he antivirus that is installed in your computer so that it will not interfere after you run the Combofix.exe file. Just double click on the combofix software and run it. After it is finished a report will be generated in this location C:\ComboFix.txt. Simply copy the same content over here.

    Well, if the trojan virus alert pops-up in your computer then try to check the integrity of your files. For that you can run the SFC.exe tool that can be found on the microsoft article. Check the article on "Use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7" from here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
