boot you computer in safe mode by pressing F8 repeatedly as it starts up. It will ask you if you want to start with or without networking.pick without networking run your scans and if it dose not fix it you will have to reformat your computer.hope this info helps.

mosnster.fx is constantly evolving, last infected computer i got with AV09 corrupted ALL downloads and reconfigured the host file along with screwing up all AV progs def. lists, it ended up taking 2 days to fully clean the system and manually going though the registry line by line.
one thing you might wanna try is combofix. if that fails, time to backup what ever you can salvage and format.. spending an hour reformatting and starting from scratch(micro$uck recommends formatting every 6 months anyway) then yanking our hair out for the next few weeks trying to fix the aftermath even if you get it completely out of your system will save you from TONs of stress and frustration.
