My PC recently became infected with the "Generic Rootkit.d!rootkit" trojan. I use the McAfee Internet Security Suite through my local ISP. McAfee seems able to detect and remove the trojan temporarily. However, the trojan seems to reappear immediately. I downloaded Malwarebytes but it won't run on my PC even in safe mode. I am not able to use the results of search engines normally, also. If I click on a link in the results page of a search engine, then I am redirected to other search sites. My circumstances appear very similar to another forum member, bklane01, who received help this week from Ried. Please help me to remove this trojan from my computer. Please be aware that I will only be able to respond to this thread in the evenings normally. I will do my best to make myself available to help with the resolution of this problem.
