Hi i went to this website: {snip}
and downloaded the ratiofaker program found here: {snip}

but it ended up being a virus and putting my system in safe mode. I cannot do system restore or anything. Eset does not detect anything on scans.I have a paper endline and my pc is messed now.
when windows starts up it is fine but after 2 mins or so my start menu bar gets removed and so does the status and task bar and my desktop icons.
I checked in safemode and it runs a .dll at start up that is called MServer, i delete it from start up but it just comes back again under a different .dll name.

thanks for your time and i look forward to your reply.

It looks like a dropper/downloader for a backdoor or a bot. You'll have to contact ESET support with a log of ESET's SysInspector.

Hi, I wouldn't write to ESET tech support for this simple problem. Better will be contact some forum specialized on malware removing.

Yes, the base downloaded file can be trojan downloader/dropper, but loaded files will be written in registry and loaded in processes.

I was able to log into windows and look at nod32's log and i found out that the following happened....

C:\Users\Raul\AppData\Local\Temp\wr-1-1645.exe
Win32/TrojanDownloader.Small.IAW trojan quarantined - deleted RaulCrainic-PC\Raul Crainic Event occurred on a new file created by the application: C:\Users\Raul Crainic\Downloads\ratiofaker1.75-setup.exe. The file was moved to quarantine. You may close this window.

C:\Users\Raul\AppData\Local\Temp\setupb.exe probably a variant of Win32/TrojanDownloader.Small.NZM trojan quarantined - deleted Event occurred on a new file created by the application: C:\Users\Raul Crainic\Downloads\ratiofaker1.75-setup.exe. The file was moved to quarantine. You may close this window.

Extracted the undetected trojan and chucked it ESET's way. Looks like a Virtumonde trojan to me.

Excerpts from the website the guy was trying to download his free software from.

-{ Quote: "Are you enjoying your fast downloads but dont want to spend weeks seeding back?
Is it legal to download in your country but not upload to others?
Want to get off the torrent as soon as you have downloaded it so RIAA/MPAA wont get your ip?
Maybe you're still on a modem connection and just cant stay online all the time to seed.
