SYMPTOMS OF rogue antispyware INFECTION

Rogue AntiSpyware virus enters your PC without your consent or using some sort of social engineering trick. Fake scanner pages, malicious mail attachments or system vulnerabilities are often used.

Virus has a single goal: to gain money. Like other rogue anti-spyware applications, it will try to convince you that your system is infected with multiple parasites: trojans, adware, or other rogues. Typically, rogues do not provide enough detail about infections detected or show fake results. Rogue anti-spyware like XP Anti-Virus 2011 will not clean any actual infections for free.

Most of the parasites of this type do not have parasite detection engine thus every warning they show is a random one. If you see persistent popups or alerts, you can safely discard them.

You should never pay for Rogue Anti-spyware application like XP Anti-Virus 2011 as it funds development of other computer parasites.

I found that the executable that was triggering the xp antivirus 2011 pop-ups are epy.exe . I opened registry (by putting regedit in the "Run"), searched for epy.exe and removed all the entries. I found 4-6 entries. After that I do not have the menace in my laptop.
The people who create such malicious program are mentally sick.

This junk got into my computer and would not let me run my virus scan or malwarebytes program. It then locked me out of my computer altogether. I am having my windows XP reinstalled as I write this on my desk top. I have had flashing warnings and popups on this desk top about the same virus. I guess it got into both of them. I was searching google for images of tropical pictures to use for my photo site when it showed up on one. I was searching for step by step instructions on google on how to highlight hair and then it popped up on this one. Darn this sucks. It is not that easy to just get rid of. I also did not buy the program that it was trying to get me to do. I ran my virus and malware just before it locked me up and it said all was fine.

I had this virus on Windows XP and did the following to get rid of it:

1. Start - Run - Type "Regedit"
2. "Edit" - "Find" (search for the 3 letter random exe file)
3. Delete every entry that had the 3 letters and ".exe"
4. Example mine was "ipk.exe" so I deleted all that had that in the string. there were about 5-6 entries.
5. Download "MalwareBytes" and run a Full Scan (TWICE).
6. One scan will removed the virus code, but it will try to come back.
7. Run again until its clean.

Note: It could take hours to run

I think i have got rid of this sick virus as far as i can see but has certenly left its mark. Most of my programs wont run, windos media, word etc, when i try to open such programs an "open with" box pops up but that dont work either.
Thought i would try a system restore but it seems to have disabled the restore wizard, or is there another way?
Thanking you in advance
Simon

Thanks much, but if only it were so simple...

Just got hit with this on our Dell today and Ive got hundreds of rkr.exe processes running. Tried running < taskkill /f /im rkr.exe > from cmd without success.

Now the malware doesnt even launch providing the opportunity to enter the reg key provided. Safe mode or not, machine is just hijacked with blank windows flashing. Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
