I accept no responsibility for any damage monetary or otherwise from using the following information.



You can do all of this off line from the internet, in fact it is best if you disconnect before you follow these instructions.

Go to the Tools menu in your web browser and select Manage Add ons, this will open up an window, in here you will see a control that starts with mbs, mbs... Select it and then at the bottom click on the disable radio button.

Click on OK. (note you may or may not see these add ons - if not just move to next step)

If you can not see the windows folder in the following part, you will have to go into the Tools menu and then Folder Options, in the window that opens you need to go to the view tab. Here you need to go down and click the radio button for "show hidden files and folders" you will find this under Hidden files and folders.

You will also need to un select the tick box for "Hide extensions for know file types". This will allow you see the extension .exe and .dll etc for what we will be looking for.

We need to go to into the c drive, then into the windows folder, from here we go into the system32 folder(XP).

That being: C:WINDOWSsystem32 so you can also click on Start, Run and type in

C:WINDOWSsystem32 then hit ok

In system32 we are looking for these two files:

mbsmon32.exe


mbsreg.exe

On the toolbar on top click on View and select details to display the information as details instead of thumbs. This is important.

Note the date that these two files were installed on the computer and click on the header bar to sort all of the files into date order when they were last modified.

Now look down the date column and find that date you took note of, you will see about 6 files approximately, you will see the icons used by the two files above plus some others, one or two may be dll files!

NOTE

It is important to find the files on that date BUT ensure that the files you select all have the same TIME STAMP as mbsmon32.exe and mbsreg.exe, this will ensure you only pick the files that were installed with these two files.

Note the two files and the other files that have same TIME STAMP down and log off the computer.

Boot XP up and start pressing F8!

This will bring up a menu to boot XP in safe mode and into the all seeing administrator!

Choose to use safe mode!

At the log on choose the Administrator even if your user id (logon) has Admin rights.

A warning window will display on the screen, ok this and allow it fully load.

Now go to the files we found earlier.

Those being in: C:WINDOWSsystem32 So click on Start, then Click Run and type in:

C:WINDOWSsystem32

Remember the TIME STAMP

Select the files and delete them!

Start up msconfig by going to the start button on the desktop ( bottom left) and go to run, in the box that appears, type msconfig and click ok. A window will open, go to the startup tab and un tick the program identified as mbs. ok that and allow the computer to reboot.

You can now delete the icon of the desktop and from the startup menu from the start button.

That helps remove this potential dangerous object from your computer.
