How To Remove Mahasona.exe

In this post my intention is to reviel the way I removed Mahasona.exe which I assume, is the easiest. Hope this will help the others as well.


1. Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Ecs)
2. Under the processes tab find explorar.exe not explorer.exe and 'End Task'
3. Run --> (type)C:\windows
4. Find a file named "autofrun.inf" and not "autorun.inf". It may be hidden. If so Tools-->Folder Options-->View--> (Check)"Show hidden files and folders" and also (Uncheck)"Hide protected Oparating system files"-->Apply-->OK. Now again look for "autofrun.inf" not "autorun.inf" and delete it.
5. Now go in to the "System32" folder in the same directory and find "explorar.exe" and not "explorer.exe" and delete it.

Now your PC is safe. If the above didn't work for you, boot the PC in safe mode(Keep hitting F8 when your PC start up and select safe mode.)

1. Run-->[type]cmd[ENTER]
2.type the following


cd/
cd windows
attrib -s -h -r -a autofrun.inf
del/f autofrun.inf
cd system32
attrib -s -h -r -a explorar.exe
del/f explorar.exe


then your done. If you are not sure with this also, just copy the above code and paste it on to a new notepad.





Save it as "mahasonaRemoval.bat" on your desktop.

Now just double click and it will fix the problem for you. Now reboot the PC as normal

To remove the virus prom your pen drive.

1. Hold the shift key when inserting the Pen drive to the PC

2. Then right click and Open OR Explore

3. Unhide all files mentioned as above and delete the autofrun.inf and any unknown *.exe

4. Now your pen drive is also safe.
