How To Remove AXWin Frame Error

A deep rooted virus has been floating about lately. The symptoms are one or more of the following:

  • You sometimes get an AXWin Frame Error window.
  • Shutdown window opens and you cannot close it. PC eventually shuts down.
  • Browser is hijacked.
  • SVCHost errors.

Running Malwarebytes on full scan does not clean it up. Also, you see no problems in MSConfig, Regedit Run keys, and HijackThis.

If this is the case, then you may have a rootkit virus. These types of viruses can hide deep in your system and are often able to avoid detection from the standard virus and malware scanners.

One way to clean up a rootkit virus is to use Combofix. In one PC I was examining the atapi.sys file was infected. Combofix was able to clean it up and the system was able to function normally.
