Do these registry entries for Major defense kit simply need to be removed or do they need to be replaced? Ie. For the shell = %path% do I need to put a path to explorer in there. Thanks in advance
For HKEY_CURRENT_USER branch it can be deleted, just make sure that in the same path, but in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE it is set to explorer.exe . HKEY_CURRENT_USER overloads settings of Local machine, if a key is deleted – LOCAL_MACHINE settings are used.
this is a real pain!!!! already have spyware Dr and it did not pick up on it right away. I can not even do a restore as those files have gone MIA…..
Julie : Have you updated spyware DR? Try malwarebytes and superantispyware then, no antimalware tool is 100%. I recommend doing full scan with these.
I can’t get rid of major defense kit. p.s I really don’t know much about computers
Got the darned Major Defense Kit on my laptop. It won’t let me fire up IE7 in order to download anything that will remove it. Next step? (Smasung NC-10 netbook, Win XP, IE7). Thx.
I’m getting the Major Defense Kit at start-up and I’m not able to do anything, except open task manager. Closing hotfix.exe isn’t helping this. Help?
Tyler : Check for other processes that are launched from same or similar location as hotfix.exe.
I have MDK popping up and cant get to the internet to download any Spyware Dr. Am I suppose to type in the “Stop these Major Defense Kit processes” verbatim in the CMD box????? Sorry, but I don’t get exactly what I’m supposed to do here. I’d like to get this taken care of so if you’d like to call me tonight and walk me through it that would be great. Let me know and I’ll provide my ph. #. Thank you.
Paul: Read the tutorial (there is a link above process box on the guide).
