Deleting Windows Virus on Bootcamp Partition

I suggest installing Malware-Bytes Antimalware on Windows. Get it at http://www.malwarebytes.org it's free and it works well in detecting viruses and removing. Once you have removed all the viruses, proceed and install Microsoft Security Essentials it has live-protection which should detect malicious downloads as soon as they are downloaded in your Mac on Windows.

Hope this helps.

I suggest trying Malwarebytes, it has some countermeasures that hide it against the malware running on your Windows side. If you are able to connect successfully to the internet you will get the malware definitions and then run a full scan on your C: drive.

Thanks for the advice, but I already have a virus and I doubt I can successfully install any anti-virus software on an already infected Windows partition. I may be wrong, though. I will look into it.

I have been running Microsoft Security Essentials for a long time. It is constantly updated, which disappoints me that it didn't detect the virus when I was infected.

Update: I figured out how to boot the iMac using the DVD I had loaded with Windows Defender Offline. I was able to run the full scan of the partition, but it didn't detect any viruses or malware.

Just ****!

Thanks!

Oh if you want to get the installer correctly, you can just place the .exe file inside a "suicide" USB flash drive and drop the .exe on the desktop that way you can avoid being redirected in your browser to a suspicious link.
