    Read the instruction: How to reboot computer in Safe mode and boot your computer in Safe mode with command prompt. Once windows loaded and command console opens, type regedit and press Enter.
    Registry editor opens.
    Navigate to the following keys by expanding the + at left of each key at left:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    Software
    Microsoft
    Windows NT
    CurrentVersion
    Winlogon

    In right part of window, double click to Shell.
    In the open window remove all text and type:
    explorer.exe
    Press OK.
    Close regedit.
    Reboot computer in normal mode.

    Ok ive renamed it to zse12bn.exe and if you guys can;t open it, here is the solution that worked for me.

    1. After you renamed it right click it and click start.
    Thats how i got the installer for Malwarebytes to work. 😀 Good luck on your virus removal.

    Btw, I’m dealing with XP Antispyware 2010. Please help.

    odd…my question disappeared from the posts above!

    So, I’ll try again…

    I downloaded fix.reg and the Malware app which seemed to fix the problem when it flared up the other day. Then it popped up again today. I set a system restore for a date last month, which seemed to help. Then I noticed that there was an icon file in the Control Panel list, which I can’t find a way to remove. Any suggestions? Help?
