Easy Way to Remove Victionators Clunb Virus

How to remove VirusTrigger (Uninstall Instructions)

VirusTrigger is a rogue anti-spyware program advertised via the Zlob Trojan. The Zlob Trojan is a malware that pretends to be an audio or video codec required to view online videos. Once installed, the Zlob Trojan will automatically install VirusTrigger on your computer and configure it to start when you log into Windows. The Zlob Trojan will also display fake security alerts in your Windows taskbar stating that your computer may be infected. The current text of this alert is:

System Alert!

Your system might be infected with malicious software that may impact the performance of your computer. Click the icon for a free scan to detect any active spyware applications.

Once started, VirusTrigger will automatically conduct a scan of your computer and list a variety of malware that cannot be removed unless you first purchase the software. These results, though, are all fake and are only being shown to scare you into thinking you are infected. For example, one of the results stated that the C:\Windows\System32\winhelp.hlp file was a malware file called BTEngine. In reality, this file is a legitimate Windows Help file that should not be deleted. Another byproduct of having VirusTrigger installed is that your computer may start to become slower. This is because the program is always running in the background and displaying nag screens. Some images of the VirusTrigger program can be found below.

This guide will walk you through removing the Virus Trigger program and its associated malware for free.

This removal guide may appear overwhelming due to the amount of the steps and numerous programs that will be used. It was only written this way to provide clear, detailed, and easy to understand instructions that anyone can use to remove this infection for free. Before using this guide, we suggest that you read it once and download all necessary tools to your desktop. After doing so, please print this page as you may need to close your browser window or reboot your computer.

2

To terminate any programs that may interfere with the removal process we must first download the Rkill program. Rkill will search your computer for active malware infections and attempt to terminate them so that they wont interfere with the removal process. To do this, please download RKill to your desktop from the following link.

When at the download page, click on the Download Now button labeled iExplore.exe. When you are prompted where to save it, please save it on your desktop.

3

Once it is downloaded, double-click on the iExplore.exe icon in order to automatically attempt to stop any processes associated with VirusTrigger and other malware. Please be patient while the program looks for various malware programs and ends them. When it has finished, the black window will automatically close and a log file will open. Please review the log file and then close so you can continue with the next step. If you have problems running RKill, you can download the other renamed versions of RKill from the rkill download page. All of the files are renamed copies of RKill, which you can try instead. Please note that the download page will open in a new browser window or tab.

Do not reboot your computer after running RKill as the malware programs will start again.

4

At this point you should download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, or MBAM, to scan your computer for any infections, adware, or potentially unwanted programs that may be present. Please download Malwarebytes from the following location and save it to your desktop:

5

Once downloaded, close all programs and Windows on your computer, including this one.

6

Double-click on the icon on your desktop named MBSetup-1878.1878-4.0.exe. This will start the installation of MBAM onto your computer.

7

When the installation begins, keep following the prompts in order to continue with the installation process. Do not make any changes to default settings and when the program has finished installing, a welcome screen will be displayed.

At this screen, click on the Get Started button where you will be prompted to buy and activate a license. To continue using it for free, click on the 'Maybe Later' option and then select 'Use Malwarebytes Free'.

It should be noted that the free version will scan for and remove malware, but not provide real-time protection from threats that occur when not performing a scan.

Finally, you will be shown a screen asking you to sign up for their newsletter. Just click on the 'Open Malwarebytes Free' option to start the program.

8

MBAM will now start and you will be at the main screen as shown below.

We now need to enable rootkit scanning to detect the largest amount of malware and unwanted programs that is possible with MalwareBytes. To do this, click on the Settings gear on the top left side of the screen and you will be brought to the general settings section.

Now click on the Security option at the top of the screen. You will now be shown the settings MalwareBytes will use when scanning your computer.

Scroll down until you see Scan option as shown below.

At this screen, please enable the Scan for rootkits setting by clicking on the toggle switch so it turns blue.

Now that you have enabled rootkit scanning, click on the X button to close the settings to get back to the main screen.

9

You should now click on the Scan button to begin scanning your computer for malware.

This process can take quite a while, so we suggest you do something else and periodically check on the status of the scan to see when it is finished.

10

When MBAM is finished scanning it will display a screen that displays any malware, adware, or potentially unwanted programs that it has detected. Please note that our guide's scan results image may look different than the one you are shown in this version of Malwarebytes as it was created with an older version.

You should now click on the Quarantine button to remove all the selected items. MBAM will now delete all of the files and registry keys and add them to the program's quarantine.

When removing the files, MBAM may require a reboot in order to remove some of them. If it displays a message stating that it needs to reboot, please allow it to do so. Once your computer has rebooted, and you are logged in, please continue with the rest of the steps.

11

You can now exit the MBAM program.

12

Now you should download HitmanPro from the following location and save it to your desktop:

When you visit the above page, please download the version that corresponds to the bit-type of the Windows version you are using.

13

Once downloaded, double-click on the file named HitmanPro.exe (for 32-bit versions of Windows) or HitmanPro_x64.exe (for 64-bit versions of Windows). When the program starts you will be presented with the start screen as shown below.

Now click on the Next button to continue with the scan process.

14

You will now be at the HitmanPro setup screen. If you would like to install the 30 day trial for HitmanPro, select the Yes, create a copy of HitmanPro so I can regularly scan this computer (recommended) option. Otherwise, if you just want to scan the computer this one time, please select the No, I only want to perform a one-time scan to check this computer option.

Once you have selected one of the options, please click on the Next button.

15

HitmanPro will now begin to scan your computer for infections, adware, and potentially unwanted programs. When it has finished it will display a list of all the items that Hitman has found as shown in the image below. Please note that the items found may be different than what is shown in the image.

You should now click on the Next button to have HitmanPro remove the detected items. When it is done you will be shown a Removal Results screen that shows the status of the various programs that were removed. At this screen you should click on the Next button and then if prompted you should click on the Reboot button. If HitmanPro does not prompt you to reboot, please just click on the Close button.

Once your computer has has restarted or you pressed the Close button, you should now be at your Windows desktop.

Your computer should now be free of the VirusTrigger program. If your current security solution allowed this program on your computer, you may want to consider purchasing the full-featured version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to protect against these types of threats in the future.
