Can't boot in Safe Mode

This file is part of the SBot worm and we need to run that tool SDfix but the drive it has to run on is your bad drive and it has to be the boot drive with the Operating System.


Download Pocket Killbox to your desktop, unzip it to a folder that you can find

K:\WINDOWS\system32\clipsvr.exe

Highlight the file with the complete path inside the Quote Box and press Ctrl C on your keyboard.

• Open Pocket Killbox
• Go to File > Paste from clipboard
• Set it to Delete on Reboot
• Tick the box that says End Explorer shell while killing file
• If its not greyed out..Click the radio button that say Unregister .dll before deleting.
• Make sure Single File is selected
• Click on the Red circle with the white X
• It will ask you to confirm the deletion…Say yes
• It will ask you to reboot, say yes

If you get a message "pending operations has been stopped by external process!" then reboot the computer manually.


What I would do if it was my system is to save all your important files and photos to your new drive or to a disk, format that bad drive and you will be sure its all gone.

Have you resolved this issue, if so I am going to close this thread in a few days. Ken

Go ahead and close. Starting from scratch with a new HD is a pain due to all of the updates and software installs, but I now have no problem booting in safe mode and running virus software. I still have remnants of a radmin virus on the original drive, but once I am sure I have transfered all of my personal data, I will wipe it clean. I wish the outcome had been different, but regardless, it is safe to say it is in the no more help is needed. Thanks-

Your welcome, glad we did as much as we did. Ken
