S3L1M created a very useful program to help revert files captured by ground.exe virus. I got infected, amd noticed it fairly quickly when I noticed ground.exe running in task manager. I would like to create this updated readme with more detailed instructions for using Ground-Damage-Fixer. Of course, you already have Ground stopped and are stuck with this messy aftermath. I included how I removed Ground.exe below in case you came across this page while still searching for a way to remove the virus.

The command to manualy unhide and retsore permissions to a file/folder is

attrib -H -S *.exe /S /D
  1. Run Super Unhider
  2. Click on Add Files
  3. search for files with size:534,016 Alt Text 3 )After search is complete, use CTRL-A to select all, then CTRL-X to cut (Icons should all now be transparent) Alt Text
  4. Click Open
  5. Open Recycle Bin, then CTRL-V to paste the infected .exes Alt Text
  6. Click on the top entry in Super Unhider and click Unhide (runs from selected downward)
  7. Give it a minute to finish, then select the top entry again and click Rename

All files should now be restored.

Removing Ground.exe

  • I recomend having Malwarebytes Anti-malware installed (free)
  • Boot into Safe Mode . This can be done by typing msconfig in the search bar.
  • Select boot tab and select Safe boot
  • After restarting in safe mode, go into your start menu and delete ground.exe from your start up folder
  • Go to %appdata%/Roaming and remove ground.exe
  • Run msconfig and uncheck safemode (but do not restart yet)
  • For safe measure, run Malwarebytes Anti-malware, then reboot
