Hi
just got a new computer, have everything working fine on it.
but since a few days the IE seems to be acting up, its really strange too because I don't even use IE i use Firefox.
its just randomly opening pages, randomly playing video files that I haven't even started, telling me about its tabs being closed, and finally shutting down on its own and then presenting me with the issue that it unexpectedly shut down and I didn't even start it.

Bit weird, I don't remember downloading anything suspicious, but I could be wrong.
Help would be much appriciated
seems like I can't attached my hijack this log so I'll just paste it

Thank you
Noble

Hi Noble13,



My name is Tomk. I would be glad to take a look at your log and help you with solving any malware problems. Logs can take a while to research, so please be patient and I'd be grateful if you would note the following:

• I will be working on your Malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
• The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for the issues on this machine.
• Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
• It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference.
• If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to say or ask!! It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.
• Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.

Download TFC to your desktop

• Close any open windows.
• Double click the TFC icon to run the program
• TFC will close all open programs itself in order to run,
• Click the Start button to begin the process.
• Allow TFC to run uninterrupted.
• The program should not take long to finish it's job
• Once its finished it should automatically reboot your machine,
• if it doesn't, manually reboot to ensure a complete clean

Then

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop.

• Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
• At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
• If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
• Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
• Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
• When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location and post the results.
• Note: If you receive a notice that some of the items couldn't be removed, that they have been added to the delete on reboot list, please reboot (shut down your computer then restart it).

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Hi Tomk

I Ran the TFC and MBAM
I was promoted to restart after each program, I did restart.
I found 8 infections with the MBAM.

My computer is running right now, IE doesn't seem to be running without my intentions.

The Only other problem I can see is the my graphics sometimes fllicker and somethings my games close unexpectedly

I have attached my MBAM Log

Noble13,

Please download the OTM by OldTimer.

• Save it to your desktop.
• Please double-click OTM.exe to run it.
  (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
• Copy the lines inside the codebox below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose Copy):
  
  
  CODE
  :Processes
  explorer.exe
  
  :Files
  C:\Users\Asif Sheikh\AppData\Roaming\Auslogics\Rescue\Sony Maintenance\091022015121189.rsc
  
  :Commands
  [purity]
  [emptytemp]
  [start explorer]
  [Reboot]
  
  
• Return to OTM, right click in the "Paste Instructions for Items to be Moved" window (under the yellow bar) and choose Paste.
  
• Click the red Moveit! button.
• Copy everything in the Results window (under the green bar) to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy), and paste it in your next reply.
• Close OTM

Note: If a file or folder cannot be moved immediately you may be asked to reboot the machine to finish the move process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes. In this case, after the reboot, open Notepad (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Notepad), click File->Open, in the File Name box enter *.log and press the Enter key, navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder, and open the newest .log file present, and copy/paste the contents of that document back here in your next post.

Now please tell me how things are running.

Noble13,

Not a problem.

Based on that, Log looks good


You need to create a new Clean restore point:

• Download SysRestorePoint to your desktop and unzip it to it's own folder.
• Double click SysRestorePoint.exe so that we can make a new system restore point.
• A box will pop up after it has made a new point, usually after a few seconds. Close that window and exit the program.

Remove all previous Restore Points
Click Start Menu > Run > copy and paste

cleanmgr

You may be asked to choose drive. Choose C: At top, click on More Options tab. Click Clean up... button in the System Restore box. Click on Yes button. When finished, click on Cancel button to exit.

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Check "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, Uncheck "Show hidden files and folders."
Check "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Cleanup

1. Double click on OTM to run it.
2. Click on CleanUp!
3. When done, you will be prompted to restart your computer. Please restart your computer.

The following is my standard advice for the future. Use what you can and pat yourself on the back for what you're already doing.

Please take time to read Preventing Malware - Tools and Practices for Safe Computing. Very important information for your consideration is contained therein.

I would also suggest you read this:
So how did I get infected in the first place?
by Tony Klein


Also: "How to prevent malware"
by miekiemoes

Please respond back that you understand the above and let me know if you have any questions. Otherwise, this thread will be closed Resolved.

Thank you very much for all your help

I will be reading up on Malware as soon as I find some time.

Take care
Noble
