I'm having the same problem as Chelsie19! This is the 2nd time i've used malwarebytes to scan in safe-mode, and upon restart the virus is STILL there. Another website mentioned something about 'Window's HOSTS files' and having to replace them??

Please note that if you or your company has added custom entries to your HOSTS file then you will need to add them again after restoring the default HOSTS file. In order to protect itself, MS Removal Tool changes the permissions of the HOSTS file so you can't edit or delete it. To fix these permissions please download the following batch file and save it to your desktop:
