Just here for the activity... well not really
yeah, this virus (security 2012 and ping.exe) is new enough that you can't just do this alone: you need to post on one of those special websites for help.
or you can just reinstall, of course.

At this rate it seems like it would be faster to start over.

edat:My goal is to not wipe my computer and still get rid of the virus.
Your desire is understandable but you're probably overestimating anti-virus tools. You can never be sure that your computer has been fully cleaned after such a heavy infection.
Ask any expert and he'll tell you that formatting the harddrive is the recommended procedure to kill viruses.
Partitioning into a small C: drive and the rest for a data drive D: makes this much more convenient, especially when you can use the transfer settings feature of Windows without reinfecting yourself.
Friend got the same virus, along with ping.exe
I was able to beat it just by googling the things that came up. I'm surprised you haven't...
Yeah, since you know the name of it, it should be pretty straight forward. The instructions I came across didn't look like much, just deleting a few registry entries and a few files.
None.
Ohey I saw this one once.
ping.exe is constantly created by some other process ..but I forgot what it was. I just remember all the internet tabs would close and some retarded "Anti-virus" window would appear randomly.
I did the malware removal guide in the sticky topic after I was manually deleting .exes. Stuff stopped breaking and working badly, so I assume it worked.
(I reformatted after). (First virus that I'm aware I've encountered in a looong time.)
Oh, also with programs running as themselves I just did open with and selected itself.

I don't think you're on the right website for virus help. Try going to this website
here. The people on here are pros at this kinda stuff and have helped me numerous times with my computer issues in the past. The help is
free and all you need is an account for the help forums, and a few tools that they use to gauge the virus's attributes, spread, and the best way to remove it. Gl.
None.
