I have downloaded the malwarebytes removal tool but when I try to run it I loose the whole internet page and have to start over. Any suggestions?

Can you try posting us a Hijack This log?

Please download the current version of HijackThis from HERE

• Double click and run the installer.
  
• It will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\hijackthis.exe
  
• After installing, you should get the user agreement, press accept and Hijack This will run.
  
• Select Do a system scan and save a log file. This will open a notepad file of everything Hijack This found, copy and paste it back here.
  

This is the virus I am trying to conquer on my PC, unfortuneately it has completely taken over. Anytime I go to any virus protection site, my I.E will disappear. I can not download the Malwarebytes nor can I download the HiJack form. What else can I do?

Are you able to download HijackThis from any of the links provided here?

Hey folks.

Found you through a search on malware removal for the bankerfox.a problem.

Windows XP, AVG antivirus.

At first it was just a nuisance. Now I can't get to the internet Am writing from a spare computer.

I've read the thread on "How to Remove System Guard 2009 [Removal Guide]". I tried downloading the recommended software to another computer on a wired network and scanning the infected computer. The program just hangs.

What should my first steps be? Many thanks in advance.

Mark
