Got a virus because I'm retarded

[MrKerplunkers]

Welp.....

Long story short, I got stuck with a virus on windows 7 that goes by the name of Total Win 7 Security. How I got this virus is stupidly embarrassing and has nothing to do with porn what so ever, let's leave it at that. Now, while the link provided does provide instructions on how to remove this piece of shit I'm still in a bit of a quandary. I'm unable to start windows at all, let alone in safe mode. Every time I boot to windows all I get is a flashing rectangle in the up left hand corner and am unable to do anything.

My one saving grace is that my hard drive is partitioned into 2 section, one running windows 7 ultimate (which I lack a key for) and the other running mac OS X. The windows section of the hard drive is treated as it's own drive and I should be able to manipulate the files while running OS X.

I would deeply love anyone who would help me out with this, or at least point me in the right direction. If it's all for naught, I'll just do a complete reinstall and try to save whatever files I can.

The first step we need to fix is making you able to boot windows 7 again. Got the install DVD? Run it and try to repair your startup (do not press 'Install Now', press 'Repair Your Computer'), if you don't have it, download the Windows 7 recovery disc and burn it to a CD/DVD.
Please tell me the results.

In case you get it to boot, follow this guide:

Total Win 7 Security Removal (How to remove Total Win 7 Security)

When removed improperly, the left over registry entries messes up the opening of .exe files.

Use an alternate browser like Chrome to download the following or use a removable drive to transfer them to the affected computer:

1. Right click and save the registry file trojan_fakerean_exe_fix.reg, make sure that you are saving the file with a .reg extension.
2. MalwareBytes’s Anti-Malware
3. CCleaner Slim version

Double click to run the downloaded (trojan_fakerean_exe_fix.reg) registry file, Click Yes to merge the registry data. This will delete the offending registry keys blocking the .exe files.

Install and run MalwareBytes’s Anti-Malware. Go to the Update tab and check for updates. Once the update is completed, open the Scanner tab and choose a full-scan. Once the scan is completed, click “Show results“, confirm that all instances of the rogue security software are check-marked and then click “Remove Selected” to delete them. If prompted restart immediately to complete the removal process.

Turn System Restore off and on

Install, scan and clean the temporary files with CCleaner Slim version.


You should now be clean of this rogue.
