Getting rid of the "feedyard / Britania search" virus

So I had this bloody spyware virus and it is really a pain to get rid of ... Especially since nobody really knows how !

So here are the instructions:

First download

http://www.gmer.net/#files


Please note that the virus is often with a single browser so if you have it with mozilla then try using internet explorer until its fixed

Then run the tool which will most likely say "You have a root kit bla bla" extended scan.

After the scan is finished you will have to look at this

http://www2.gmer.net/gmer.wmv on how to delete it (basically just remove the red marked items !)


Now just download http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php

Malware bytes, do a full scan

Reboot and done.

Comments if you liked it !

Do you know anything more about this virus? I've did the first step but nothing turned out red. Now, I'm doing the final scan you recommended. Any advice?i
