Once installed, VirusProtector will run a fake system scan and display a list of infections that can't be removed unless you first purchase the program.

so i started laptop in debuge mode, so this dirty virus could run in that mode
and then i run malwarebytes which remove all virus files
and i got my laptop back
THANK YOU GUYS!!!!!!
for WIN XP - open in safe mode / command prompt
type in %systemroot%system32
estore
strui.exe
this starts system restore, then restore to an earlier time
for you make sure you're using a / instead of = like he said
Type explorer.exe in command window.
it will bring up my documents.
Go to system32.
search for random.dll and random.exe in recent dates.
rename it.
reboot to safe mode with n/w
use task manger to open IE download a fix to enable task manager and registry.
Thank you VERY much for this guide! Exelent job! It helped me to prevent this crap
