I recently noticed my browser acting funny (redirecting me while I tried to browse google.)

I did a Malwarebyte's AntiMalware quick scan, and it found 9 infected objects (rootkits, some Dlls with randomly generated letters for names)

It deleted all but 3, located in the system32 folder and told me it'd have to delete them on restart, so I hesitantly restarted.

Sure enough it started giving me weird stuff.

Now every time a process starts, it gives me an error message saying

notepad.exe - Bad Image
The application or DLL Globalroot\systemroot\system32\gasfkybqqpkrod.dll is not a valid windows Image. Please check this against your installation diskette.

how do I fix this?

Right now, I'm running windows Xp professional on a Desktop system.

Hi Compcrap,

Logs look good. We can have a look at your laptop once we are finished here.

What are you using for an antivirus program? You can download and use one of these free ones if you don't have an antivirus program installed.

For your flash drives


Download Flash_Disinfector.exe by sUBs and save it to your desktop.
  • Double-click Flash_Disinfector.exe to run it and follow any prompts that may appear.
  • The utility may ask you to insert your flash drive and/or other removable drives including your mobile phone. Please do so and allow the utility to clean up those drives as well.
  • Wait until it has finished scanning and then exit the program.

Note: Flash_Disinfector will create a hidden folder named autorun.inf in each partition and every USB drive plugged in when you ran it. Don't delete this folder...it will help protect your drives from future infection.


Post back when done and if everything is OK, we'll clean up our tools.

Thanks
