Hello Geek Police and thanks for making your services available to us who need help! My PC is infected with Malware Defense. Im using a Sony VIAO PC with Windows XP home edition. The MD crap started popping up just yesterday. My version of MD seems to be the version that places 3 porn link icons on my desktop. Also as the crap MD pop-ups start to appear I hear audio ads play occasionaly ( I think the last one was for Buick?) . My IE browser still works, but Im afraid to use it, for fear of what information might be comprimised in the background while Im using it, so for now I have unplugged my internet connection to that computer. I ve been a user of Malwarebytes Anti-malware for the past 6 months already, and I thought I would simply run MBAM to get rid of it, but since Ive had the MD infestation , MBAM wont open. I was told to go to safe mode, and to try and run/update MBAM there, but when I select safe mode , the screen just blinks and goes back to the prior dos type screen, I tried all 3 safe mode selections, and nȯne of them are working. I also tried to use sytem restore, and it is not working either, seemingly blocked by MD. So.... I was hoping you could tell me what to do to fix my problem. Thankfully I have this laptop to comunicate to you on,


thanks in advance for your help,

i was not able to download combofix onto my infected machine, so I downloaded it onto this laptop , and while downloading it macaffee said that it blocked the trojan artemis? Then I copied the combofix.exe file to a flash drive and then loaded that file from the flash drive to the infected computers desktop, then when I clicked on it to run it, nothing happened. appears to be blocked from working.

McAfee probably damaged it. Disable McAfee first, re-download it and transfer it.
