After seeing Vista once, at my sister's, for about 20 minutes...I skipped it. In Fact, I held on to 98 until it was no longer capable of opening certain websites. Did the same thing with XP, probably one of the best OS's from Window's! Then 7, another good one!What can I say about this... Congratulations! Perhaps because you skipped Vista?
Well, I never dreamed I would wind up with Vista as my main OS... Let's just say it's my "man in the middle" for now - for some reasons. I'm running mainly older programs on customized hardware, consumer graphics card combined with ECC-RAM, old DVB-C TV-card and so on. +1 on Win98 and XP - them good ol' days I use 7 as an alternative OS, and it really is a good one! Consider me one of those Win8 haters, but you're right - nowadays it is looking a lot more promising and usable. Win10? Let's see if they finally get it right this timeAfter seeing Vista once, at my sister's, for about 20 minutes...I skipped it.

Nasty stuff indeed... there is NO way to remove this completely without using safe mode or a boot disc. Some people recommend you log on to another account at startup and go from there, but I don't think this will help at all to remove this stuff completely...we had one of our machine in our control center get this nasty thing by "Looking at football scores" LOL. I got into safe mode before the thing loaded and took it of MSCONFIG list then ran malware bytes and kaspersky corp edition. Got rid of it then did a registry cleaner to get the rest. It was a pain though cause you had to catch the machine before it loaded the program or it would be locked to the point were a hard boot was the only way to get another chance.

Never heard of a .zog file... There must have been some file association to it to let you "install" it... You perhaps have the "Hide known file extensions" function enabled, right? This is a very welcome gateway for all malware, e.g. "Your paypal order confirmation.pdf.(zog)". The .zog-extension will be hidden in this scenario and will readily install this cr@p, should you decide to open it Also, most of this specific malware is easily recognizable as it commonly uses the Windows Media Player icon, only with different colors. I won't tell you the name of some of those files (18+) , but you get my drift. Like I mentioned way earlier, I'm very interested in this stuff and how it infects user's systems. Also, like I mentioned way earlier - proper security settings and educated browsing habits / safe browsers will make it harder (while certainly not impossible) for that malware to infect your system. EDIT: sorry, of course I meant the extension to be something like "Free mp3 download.zog.exe !I refuse to use IE 11 anymore
BTW one culprut was a .zog file ????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok thats good to know, it was full of crap you had to register or buy so i was like huh, no thanks this is too invasive.Thanks! Overlooked the most important one... This will help most of all to prevent clicks to badsites! EDIT: keakar, you don't have to register to use it. Just close that window & you're done.

It's enabled by default. Big security oversight, IMO. Disabled by unchecking "Hide extensions...." in the "View" tab in Folder Options.How would "Windows "Explorer" "Hide known file extensions" function enabled ? from just the desktop "explorer" process running?

xvi beat me to it... +1, those (rather harmless) cookies are easily removed with Ccleaner, for example. Not MBAM's job to delete cookies, it's searching for malware. And SAS may also miss this & that, it's like xvi said.ok guys i have an issues here i need a little help confirming
most of you use and recommend malwarebytes and so i installed it, im not saying its not good but when i run superantispyware after it the super finds all sorts of things left behind by MB.

This would be the same as relying on System Restore... it will be a half-baked solution. I relied on registry backups in the past, but guess what - didn't work out too well when I really needed them I'll say it again, a good & clean backup will be far more practical and thorough, a complete reinstall should only be your absolute last resort (if you failed to backup correctly, that is) Don't let your guard down just to save some time.ok, got it. that takes care of the spyware/malware question
as far as windows and making repairs:
if you guys are saying this nasty little nsa/cia/fbi worm gets in and corrupts the registry entries then assuming it has got in and done its thing already so after getting rid of it windows is borked
shouldn't I just make a backup copy of windows registry and attempt a copy and replace all files to fix windows to try and fix it before going all out with a full backup restore of windows or even a reinstall? and where would I find the registry files? I don't see a registry folder in windows

I agree, just because it seems to be gone it sure doesn't mean this thing is dead. I myself wouldn't touch or save anything after being infected with this however, unless there's no other option. Thanks for the link, keakar - this backup utility looks very promising. I'll have to check it out. Thanks!this thing changes, disables, and deletes registry stuff before you even know its there so you don't know for sure what this thing has done or the changes it already made to your computer by the time you even get to the ransomewhere screen so you should assume as soon as this thing takes over that a reformat and reinstall is going to be needed and the only solution to keep your data safe. the cleanup to get rid of it, in my opinion, is just to get the computer functioning long enough to get in and save your files and back up any data you need.
It looks very interesting... sure took a lot of time. I'll give ATLAS a try on an infected system & will tell you how it worked for me.Goddamnit I wish I had seen this earlier. I have removed this stuff alot at work! Im sorry you had to format. That is bad news. in the future. I have made a batch file (yes batch I was feeling academic) that we actually use to "get systems ready" if you will for more targeted repairs. Its not a fix all but it touches ALOT of things and for the most part pulls a machine out of the grave if you will. Its still on crutches but it most cases it makes it easier to fix. Understand I do not EXPRESS ANY warranty or support. but I do try my best to help people. If anyone is interested here you go. I did spend alot of time on this and while I cant stop everyone id appreciate a credit if you manage to use it elsewhere and modify it out of respect.

I just got very lazy, that's all. as you can see, I had the backup utility, I just didn't use it, and so I paid the price for it.Yep, I knew you wouldn't. You know your way around this whole problem now, that's for sure Hope your system will be safe from harm now... Glad to hear about it !
Basic protection (i.e. on a newly bought computer) is no match for this kind of malware. You'll have to rely on specialized tools and proper settings to cope with these threats. You'll never be one step ahead, though... I know how you might have felt like you were safe for a while, but it's right then you're the most vulnerable. If any good came of it, you've learned your lesson and know a lot better how to deal with stuff like this now. I'm very glad the folks participating in this thread were able to help you understand this problem better. I'm certain you will be a lot better protected (while definitely not safe - nobody is) out there Surf safe, keakar - and all the best.I just got very lazy, that's all. as you can see, I had the backup utility, I just didn't use it, and so I paid the price for it.
its been so long since I had virus and I selected a handful of porn sites I feel "safer" at then most (if there is such a thing) so other then pesky spyware I had no threats to deal with in years.
it just pisses me off to no end that this virus is so well know yet the basic protection tools cant stop it if you open a website where its lurking at.
