mse didn’t pick up the ‘system restore’ trojan second time i scanned for it, Malware bytes did though and removed it. You must run rkill first however to terminate the running program before trying to remove with malware bytes. run a browser direct from the programs folder and download it then click ‘run’, it wouldn’t let me install it. i also had to use alternate file names as the ‘system restore’ virus terminated it.
I was also unable to update Malware bytes, luckily it was pretty recent.
I found the only way to access my program files was to go through the network connections icon in the system tray and work my way back to the folders. They appeared empty and i feared the worst until i went into Tools->folder options->view and checked ‘show hidden files and folders’
Hope that brief explanation helps some of you out
