I've been recently infected with a MyStart IncrediBar hijack and I've been wondering how to remove this without having to reboot the system and run it in networking mode. It started about 10 minutes ago and all we did was run a crap clean, ran a registery error, and bunch of registry errors came up saying file extension was never used, this was repeated like 25-30 times and we fixed those issue and made a backup prior to fixing as well re-running the crap clean. (I'm using CCleaner.)

How would I go removing this without rebooting my system? I've ran a virus scan and checked for all common viruses on the internet but it does not appear to have a threat. I'm using Symantec Endpoint Protection. I'd like a reply ASAP so my computer doesn't fail its 1TB hard drive.

I understand this virus is capable of changing registry settings.

I haven't done a system restore. What's that?

Plus, should I try chkdsk?

Wouldn't that revert everything I've done in the past 18 hours? I just did some critical work on files.

I had to combine two files over. I also did painful work in scripting and I don't want to lose it. Oh well. Is there an alternate?

My disk doesn't have System Restore enabled. I don't have anything to back up to.

The virus probably infected the harddrive fully and I don't want to reboot to see my harddrive has failed and the virus took its toll but I'll try to do it anyways.

Just ran a crap clean. There's almost 4GB. The **** happened? I run it maybe a few time per week (last time I ran it was yesterday) but what the ****? Could it be the virus?

Alright. This thread is dead but I want to say how I got rid of these redirects. I've took some steps in careful being in Waterfox modifying advanced parameters to remove the new tab page problem. Now I have to deal with the registry problem and I can not access where the registry for the virus is located at. Any help here?
