My computer is running very slow, and I keep getting pop ups when I open IE. A window opens up from www.thewebsitesurvey.com. I have run Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware and have gotten rid of everything except one file...
Rootkit.Agent C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\jccnwb.sys
I have tried to delete the file and a pop up stated, "cannot delete jccnwb: cannot read from the source file or disk"
I tried to delete it from command prompt but i'm kinda confused with command prompt. Especially since when I open command prompt, it shows "C:\Documents and Settings\joe>" When I know that the problem file is NOT in documents and settings. Anyway, I have little knowledge on how to control the command prompt. I did try a million different "del" functions that I saw online, but nȯne worked, until it said, "A device attached to the system is not functioning."
I tried to start my computer in safe mode and it did not allow me. The black screen came up, I pressed the up arrow to highlight, then select "Safe Mode" and it said that something had changed perhaps because of something new installed. I haven't installed anything new. I also tried to click the other 2 Safe Mode options with no luck.
I also tried to find a system restore point. Unfortunately my computer mysteriously had NO restore points before this. (For the record, every time I've tried to use system restore in the past, it's done the same thing. I create a point and have it set to do them every so often, only to find that when I need a restore point, they are all gone.)
I'm not too knowledgeable with regedit, but I was wondering if I should just delete everything that has jccnwb in it??
The only thing that I can think is that I downloaded a song and maybe it was attached to it.
I have also run Spybot - Search and Destroy with no luck.
Thanks in advance for your help.
