How to Remove Flash10 EXE


1. Download and install 'Hijack This' (see Resources). Hijack This is a specific anti-malware tool designed to help remove several different forms of browser and computer hijackers.
2. Launch 'Hijack This' and do a system scan of your computer. Once a list has been compiled in the Hijack This window, search for and check any item with a reference to 'Flash.10.EXE', MSN.msn or 'JambaMU.com.'
3. Open the Start Menu and click the 'Run' option. Type in 'GPedit.MSC'. This will open a new dialog box with several different expandable categories. Expand the specific categories in this order: 'User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Explorer.'
4. Locate the component labeled 'Removes the Folder Options menu item from the Tools menu' in the right-hand window and double-click it. This will restore your 'Folder Options' tool in the Windows Explorer menu bar.
5. Open 'Windows Explorer' and click the 'Tools' menu button. Click the 'Folder Options' option in the drop-down menu, then click the 'view' tab and check the 'Show hidden files and folders' option. Click 'OK' to save your changes and close the window.
6. Browse to C:\Windows\System32 and delete the following files: Flash.10.EXE, JambanMu.com, regedit.com, cmd.com, msconfig.com, ping.com and dxdiag.com.
7. Open your My Documents folder and delete the 'MySecret.Fold' file. Delete the 'NewSong.Lagu' and 'NewVideo.vidz' in your 'My Music' folder and delete the 'Aweks.pikz' and the 'seram.pikz' in your 'My Pictures' folder.
8. Browse to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO folder and delete the 'MSN.msn' file. Go up one folder to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared and delete the 'Macromedia.10.EXE' file. This will completely remove Flash10 from your computer.
