About this Virus
The new FPSBanana virus is a Rootkit virus known as "Black Internet". It is extremely dangerous to your system and security on your computer. A Rootkit virus buries itself into your Master Boot Record which forces the virus to load upon startup. You cannot disable the virus through safe-mode or "msconfig".

What does it do?
First, the virus buries itself into your Master Boot Record to keep you from detecting and removing the virus easily with any type of virus protection software.

Removing the Virus
To remove this virus, you are REQUIRED to have a Windows disk corresponding to your version of Windows OR a recovery drive that came from factory. If you do not, you are pretty much screwed... There are other ways but they have a 10% chance of working.

So now, insert your Windows disk into your CD/DVD drive and restart your computer. When it says to "Press any key to continue..." do so. If you have a recovery drive, you will either have to press a key that is defined on the Bios screen or press F8 before Windows loads. Choose to recover your Windows installation.

After you choose the option to recover your Windows Installation, you can choose to use Command Prompt to do so. Once the Command Prompt opens, type the following...

Windows XP: fixmbr
Vista or 7: bootrec.exe /FixMbr

After the process completes, you can then close command prompt and Restart your computer. When the computer loads up again, the Virus has been disabled. You just need to delete the file.

You can either use CCleaner to delete all over your Windows Temporary Files or goto your temp folder in the following location...
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\temp
Vista or 7: C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Temp

Find the file "loader.exe" and delete it.

You should be all set now and the infection should be gone. Double check by following the the steps to check for the virus above.
