Well my Buddy's laptop got "infected" with this SPYWAREXP 2009 and I have fought it for several hours now. I can't get Malwarebytes to load nor will Avast load nor will a program that I downloaded from a search to rid this puter of the is POS that just showed up the other day. Also I can't get the laptop to load is SAFE MODE. When I try to load in SAFE MODE all I get is a screen full of file locations. ANYBODY got any experience getting rid of this I call it a VIRUS.

I would boot the machine with a live Linux distro and delete the folder and files associated with the program in question.

Yea, mean people really suck, don't they!
If the infection is really bad (and done well) booting the infected machine and trying to get rid of crap may not work at all... so booting another operating system (somehow) to get to the drive is quite often the only way to fix it.
However this one is a common "gotcha" and the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware utility should kill it. You may have to do a few more things besides that...
One of my favorite techie websites ( bleeping computer) has some info:

I went to college with the son of the mayor of Bethlehem, Raji Freij. Poor guy didn't remember the adventures he had with Johnny Quest when they were little.Originally Posted by WØTKX

Windows 2000 boot disk/cd...and select delete partition(s).
Start over.
Oh and tell the victim thats what he/she gets for downloading Deutche shietzhe pr0n. Then watch the facial expresions FTW. :shock:
Yeah...I'm a furry...Deal with it!
Don't tell him that, not yet!
Only twice have I EVER had to wipe an OS... and it's painful to do that for most users.
Windows 2K is a very useful flavor of Winders tho, isn't it?

NT4.0 boot disks. write protects removed. no virus possible. If you had to kill a disk because of oh...Satan Bug...yeah.. that or old Norton Disk Edit. wipe Sector 0 track 0 and then used nt4 boot disks.

Well ja, I have that too.
Been a long time since I had to use something fugly, like the Ranish utility.

Well I read over at the ZED about TRINITY RESCUE so I downloaded it along with MAGICDISK but so far I have not been able to open Trinity or do anything to recover the Laptop. I was trying to put it on a CD so I can boot and try and delete all this JUNK that's messing it up.
I refuse to post on the ZED anymore so I guess I will pester y'all now.

Well, you ever hear a newbie hamster get on the local repeater and ask questions? Folks will fight over who's the best to help. IF it's an active repeater, that is... that's helping?
The 'Zed is like that... so are lots of pipple. :roll:
If you can get the personal data out and start over, it's one way. I'm a persistent cuss, with more than one computer, and anything that gets me (it happens) really motivates me to repair the OS. So I have the luxury of another system I can always use if the main one gets diseased.
That being said, I have NEVER gotten a virus on a Linux box, without trying to do it on purpose.
