Hi everybody. I just had a horrible experience with spyware with a new virus called brastk.exe. BRASTK is a spyware that pops up in your taskbar and annoys you with saying that you need a program to get rid of spyware, but of course it is ironic that the spyware itself is the brastk.exe virus. It not only pops up in your taskbar, it randomly shuts down your computer and restarts it.. its like your computer is possessed. I got rid of it by reading how to, which here is the quote from yahoo answers:
"
1) delete beep.sys from c:\windows\system32\drivers\
2) start windows in safe mode and clean your registry
3) kill 'delete' Brastk.exe and Karna.dat from c:\windows & c:windows\system32
"
However, this wasn't the end of the horror. Sure, this removed the brastk annoying pop up from the taskbar, but now my internet was plagued with more spyware viruses inside of firefox. Everytime I went to google I would get annoying pop ups and web page redirections. I gave up at this point and had to format my computer. I lost everything thanks to this annoying brastk spyware. I was such a fool to get this virus, too. All I did was visit a site where I thought I could download a game, but ended up clicking on all these ads and voila - I got the virus and other spyware along with brastk.exe. Here's my video with me voicing my frustrations about spyware and how much spyware sucks:

i got the same dumb damn spyware. i had to use malwarebytes anti spyware and also killbox cuz i couldnt delete some of the files. i also found a removal tool for Brastk.exe Because it seems like the only way to get the other one out with it. The other is called karna.exe. Its in ur registry and when u delete it it comes back after a restart. but once i used the removal tool then i could take the karna out. it seems like brastk is gaurding karna so it cant go for good. if u need detailed instructions... email me at Benett1972@gmail.com with the subject line "help for virus"
