MSN messenger is sending links to friends, Google is redirecting me to various websites but not the one I am looking for. Avast is turning up a rootkit virus that cannot be removed. The rootkit virus is as follows:

C:\beia.exe\nope.dll - Win32:AKbot (trj)

I have removed MSN messenger, removed msn related files, scanned with avast, ccleaner and spybot and then reinstalled MSN messenger.

Has anyone else had the same problems because some sites say that rootkits are very aggressive viruses and sometimes unable to fix.

Hello, your msn problem is likely from a phishing scam. I recommend changing your password on a clean computer. As for your virus troubles please do the following.

Please download the new version and post a log with HiJackThis.

Click here to download HJTsetup.exe
  • Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
  • Double click on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.

  • Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
  • Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
  • At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
  • Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
  • Click Save to save the log file and then the log will open in notepad.
  • Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
  • Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
  • DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

Also, please run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and post the log is creates.

  • When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart. (See Note)
  • The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
Note:
If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts.
Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process.
If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.
