Default Malware Program?

Anyone knows about: KillAndClean.exe. I got this as a persistent pop-up
after getting a virus and Trojan. Is it genuine or rogue. Thanks in advance.

This seems to be a new variant of malware - I suggest that you take it to
one of the specialist forums....

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1

It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post

VirusTotal is a free service offered by Hispasec Sistemas. There are no
guarantees about the availability and continuity of this service. Although
the detection rate afforded by the use of multiple antivirus engines is far
superior to that offered by just one product, these results DO NOT guarantee
the harmlessness of a file. Currently, there is not any solution that offers
a 100% effectiveness rate for detecting viruses and malware.

Hi Noel:

Always looking for the malware and other such posts here.
I rarely make new posts but occasionally reply.

Especially if I can bug Figgs or something like that. :-)

This could be something new.

I suggest seeing if it can be uninstalled via the control panel applet; Add/Remove Programs.

If it doesn't have an Add/Remove Programs line item it is loaded in the Registry via a Run
location.

Download and execute HiJack This! (HJT) and it will generate a report.
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe

In HiJack This, find the following line..

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [KillAndClean] "C:\Program Files\KillAndClean\KillAndClean.exe"

Put a check in the box on the left side and then click on "Fixed checked".
Reboot the PC.

This will keep the program from being reloaded upon startup and then after you reboot you
can manually remove the folder "C:\Program Files\KillAndClean" and its files.

Hi all,
Thank you for answering. Since I really dont need another anti-malware
program, decided to get rid of it. It had an uninstall, so used that. It was
in the add/remove in the control panel which disappeared, and the file did
the same, and no sign of pop ups, double checked with Avast and all ok. So
thats that. Cheers.
