It appears that mec.exe is a new name for one of the processes this malware has, like ppn.exe and kdn.exe. I did not find the last two register entries in my manual clean-up of this mess.

qfj.exe is also related to this malware.

Just an addition to Wayne’s response, mim.exe and wod.exe are also new names that the malware uses..

xmr.exe
This thing is nasty. It blocks my antivirus software, blocks all programs including browsers so you can’t get online and download something to remove it. Blocks the run prompt so you can’t edit the registry, and it blocks me from having permission to delete the exe file. Sucks.
Anyone have any luck getting rid of it? If so, how?

Mine was called xrr.exe, but I am sure they are all the same. I was able to get rid of it by first ending the process by using the task manager and then deleting it.

When I was trying to delete Vista Spyware 2012, I did come here and I saw non of the above .exe’s. But, what I did notice was the pattern was all three letter combinations with .exe on it. And it also says in the description box on the right “Script Profiler” My process that I had to end was atb.exe and I guess it changes with the three letters and so just look for that and the “Script Profiler” and you should be alright.

Trying to get this nasty virus off of a relative’s computer. I am not seeing any of the above .exe files in processes. Can anyone give me any tips on what else to look for (in description, etc.)?

Well, you can always simply run reputable antimalware to delete the infection.

If it hijacks your antivirus just open task manager and right click the program, select “go to process” which will take you to one of its many .exe file name possibilities (i’ve seen 5 or more different ones on my computer alone) right click the highlighted process then select “end process tree” which will also close some of its other processes. this SHOULD allow you to run your antivirus if it pops up during the scan just repeat the steps until the scan completes. then remove selected items the antivirus finds or quarantine.

I found that it was running via Microsofts Game Services. So looking at the Task Manager when you “End Process” on the Game Service kills it. Start Regedit, you might have to end the process again after starting Regedit.
On mine it was called “deh.exe”

I have been trying to do the things listed here to get rid of it but the problem I am having is that the Vista Antispyware 2012 will not let me open Task Manager to delete the processes listed above nor will it let me go online to download the removal tool. I don’t understand why my Norton 360 did not catch it nor will it get rid of it when I run scans.

If it prevents execution of exe’s, make a file called run.bat on your desktop,
enter this in it:
@echo off
cmd
save it, and right click run as administrator
run your commands from the command prompt, it overrides the registry key saying run it instead.
