Updated version of Windows Recovery virus is now attacking even more computers worldwide

We have told you about Windows Recovery virus already, haven't we? The aim of this short essay is to seriously warn you of the fact that Windows Recovery scareware has been recently updated up to the new version. It looks just the same as the previous one, however, the results of its malicious activity are slightly different then those of its previous version. That's why some reliable anti-virus tools are not able to fully get rid of Windows Recovery scareware. They indeed remove the majority of essential virus components, however, regretfully, certain virus files and registry entries are still present inside of the attacked HDD. This is why your desktop might be totally missing (or having black or blank background) and totally useless (you will not be able to modify its settings or view your common icons kept on it).

We have just tested this most recent updated version of Windows Recovery scareware. The anti-virus databases of GridinSoft Trojan Killer have been recently updated by GridinSoft LLC. If your system has been contaminated with Windows Recovery virus and you have the above-mentioned symptoms then you may now download and install GridinSoft Trojan Killer and have your system fixed. In addition, below please find certain additional guidelines showing more steps that should be done by you if you want your system to be entirely recovered (in the good sense of this word) after Windows Recovery virus infiltration.

In order to restore missing and empty desktop you may undertake the following (optional) steps:

  • Either create new user account of your PC and copy all setting of previous user account to your new user account. With new user account you will be able to renew the normal mode of your desktop, or
  • Download and install the program from this site http://confignt.ixbt.com/download/confignt.zip Launch it, go to “Explorer” tab, in the “Desktop” section check the box “Desktop elements displayed (enabled by default)”. Click “OK” button. Afterwards please restart your machine. The issue of missing desktop will no longer be present on your workstation.

Windows Recovery automatic remover:

  • Download the latest version of GridinSoft Trojan Killer to clear (not infected) computer and install it.
  • Update the virus database.
  • Copy the entire folder “GridinSoft Trojan Killer” to your jump drive (memory stick). Normally it is located at the following path: (C:\Program Files\GridinSoft Trojan Killer). “C” stands for the system disk of your computer. The name of the system disk, however, can be marked with another letter.
  • Open your jump drive (memory stick). Find the folder “GridinSoft Trojan Killer” there. Open it , find the file under the name “trojankiller.exe” and rename it to “iexplore.exe”.
  • Move memory stick to infected PC, open “GridinSoft Trojan Killer” folder and run iexplore.exe. Optional: copy the folder “GridinSoft Trojan Killer” from your jump drive to some other folder created on your PC and run “iexplore.exe”.
