Ok, so I arrive at a customer's location today, complaining of virus problems. I spent nearly 2 hours trying to fix this thing (and I consider myself pretty good at virus removal), but I couldn't get ANYWEHRE with it!
- Right click has been disabled
- When yoou try to 'maximize' a window, it doesn't fill the entire screen sometimes
- CAn't run any .exe files! (or MSI files!)
- Registry editor won't open (can't even get a 'Run' prompt going.
- The virus hijacked task manager, so instead it opens up this scareware program called "Activity Monitor" (obviously a play-on-words of some exercise/fitness tracking app, just trying to get the customer's money methinks)
- When I insert an NTFS disk, it won't allow write access to it (maybe this is a new version of Cryptolocker?)
- Can't play any games like Crysis or anything
Has anyone seen anything like this before? If so, how did you fix it?
PS: I managed to get a screenshot of the malware running
