Remove MS Removal Tool [Removal Guide]

Million thanks pal!!!

I am in safe mode with networking but when I try to download the software a box comes up saying that my security settings don't allow this download
What do I do now?

*EDIT*

I downloaded the malware software from another comp onto my USB and installed it that way in safe mode, you have to be connected to the net for the malware to update otherwise it doesn't recognise the MS Removal Tool...

Thanks for all the help GeekPolice

What symptoms is it showing? Can you provide more details on what is wrong with the computer?

Just used the fix on my wife's computer and it seems to have worked. Thanks so much!

I can't run explorer in safe mode to get rid of this virus

Welcome to GeekPolice!

Please read here and post here to begin the removal process.

I would just like to thank everyone at GeekPolice for posting this fix, you all saved me a major headache and probably hours of my time.

Excellent instructions! They helped me remove this rogue and gain full system access about 15 minutes. Just an additional note to anyone else with the same problem. I ran Malwarebytes a second time after rebooting but this time as a Full System Scan. The second scan found a copy of the rogue hiding in my System Restore folder.

Now its completely gone.

Hi, my PC recently became infected with MS Removal Tool. I have tried Malwarebytes Anti Malware but because I cannot connect to the internet (even when in Safe Mode with Networking - I am unsure why, my USB device just does not connect) so the anti malware software cannot update. I then run the check and it comes up clear.

Are there any tricks to being able to connect to the internet (i have changed the internet proxy settings in explorer and firefox) - do I need to change network settings at all?

Im quite technologically challenged so any basic step by step advice would be so helpful.

Thanks

I cannot thank you enough for your instructions on how to rid my computer of MS Removal Tool! They were absolutely spot-on! I will be saving you in my favourites now! Thank you.

I have followed the instructions to a "T," and I still have the MS Removal Tool virus on my computer. I can't download the "Malware Removal" from the site, because the virus will not allow any programs to work. Can some one please help me out!!!?

Malwarebytes AntiMalware was highly recommended to remove this virus. I scanned my computer in safe mode 3 times with MAM but did not get rid of the problem. Then I scanned with Super AntiSpyware in safe mode and the problem was solved.

Thank you so much for fixing this!!!! I am so relieved, since this was frustrating me for hours. If I find the guy who made this trojan...

I have done everything this guide has told me to do, and ms removal tool is still on my machine. I skimmed through the replies hoping to find out that I did something wrong, but apparently you want me to download more programs when your first one didn't even work. You aren't even replying to people who ask for help, yet can find time to say "Your welcome" to people who do get it to work. Color me skeptical on this, but it seems like you aren't very helpful at all.

Thwacky, we have already left a link in the topic for those who have problems removing this and we'll assist you for free.

hey everyone i'm using my laptop just got infected with this virus and in less than 20min the info I got on this site helped me to remove it....thanks a lot

Thanks, GeekPolice! I somehow got this infection and have been working for days to resolve it. I did have to run Malware Anti twice, but it finally cleared up this mess. Thanks again for being there!

you people are a credit to yourselves , worked a treat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any ideas where this comes from? At least once a month I need to remove this (or the Antivirus 2010 virus) from a client's computer. The owner of the store spends all day looking at porn, but doesn't know enough to keep himself from getting infected. I have them set up with Microsoft Security Essentials, but that seems to be ineffective against this breed of malware. Any tips on preventing it from coming back? Thanks for the great post, btw.

Have also experienced this situation.then i follow manual guide:
*SNIP*
Everything as normal as before

Good info, worked for a completely ignorant computer user. Good Job, worked for me ! Mahalo from the 808 state !

I ran Hit Man Pro, then Malwarebytes, then Superantispyware. Each one nabbed a few of the viruses. It appears to no longer be on my computer, but all the icons on my desktop are missing. My wallpaper turned blue. All my programs and files are not visible. How do I fix this?

My computer is running XP.

A thousand thanks!!!!

Thanks you Very Much
