  One software I know of would works, I have tried it and is ok. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. I think you need to pay.

  Spybot was not working when I was hit by that virus. I found Malware did an excellent job in getting rid of it.

  I didn't mention it's good. It's only a quick fix solution.

  As in, you mentioned that program. I tried it, and it's good.  "mention that too. It's good." and "mention that too it's good" are different.

   

   

  Thanks anyway.
