mobogeni

[Sandycheeks]

Anyone know how to get rid ?
I decided to scan sons pc whilst he was out as I can't rely on him to do this regularly and found 9 virus'
most were fixable but upon boot time scan I'm having problems with mobogeni.
Avast free / windows 7 pro.

ok, downloaded malwarebytes and run quick scan found 12 threats.
run quick scan again...found nothing.
Now running full system scan, will post when complete.

Do I run all of them and in that order ?
Do I enable system restore afterwards ?
Thanks !

First I run avast full system scan <threats found>
Then I uninstalled a load of junk programs
I then ran boot scan <problems found>
Then quick scan <no problems found>
Then TDSS killer <no threats>
Then Glary utilities 1 click maintenance
Then Malwarebytes quick scan <threats detected>
Then MB quickscan again <no threats detected>
Now MB full scan <threats detected>

I carried out the list as per Craig321 s post and combo fix still found traces of mobogenie.
I have done this around 3-4 times to no avail.
I decided to do a clean install and came across this message;
"windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is not of the GPT partition style"
I have run gparted from a live cd and am now installing to that partition.

I have a 1tb drive with a 120gb partition for OS and the rest for everything else.
Question...If the virus / Trojan is on the other partition will it still be there after this ?

It emerges that my lad has downloaded a call of duty game from a torrent site (good advice from his mates) DOH !!!

Yes..I think !
It was detected as a trojan.
When I tried to uninstall it I kept getting the message that it the file couldn't be removed as it was in use elsewhere.
I searched and deleted everything I could find that had any reference to it but the AV kept finding instances of it.
The boot scan showed numerous instances of it but when selecting to repair or delete it wasn't able to and was kind of stuck in a loop unless I chose to ignore it.

I'm in the frame of mind to format the whole drive....having to download all of his games over a couple of days might teach him to not neglect the AV scan and not download stuff from dodgy sites !

Thanks.
