Hi guys, I was recently contacted to fix a computer with this issues. Upon start up a fake virus scan runs and detects about 37 trojans and worms. Then the wallpaper changes to a large blue screen with a warning about infected files. I am also directed online to a site that wants me to buy thier software. I tried booting in safemode to clean things up but was hit with a blue screen "bad checkdisk". I then reverted to the "last known config that works". Upon start up this time the virus scan appeared to be gone and the real virus scan did not detect it. But now when using internet explorer all my search results when using google are directed to various ad sites. When using msn search things work correctly though. I am posting the log for the computer. What's out of place and how do I get rid of it?

Hi and Welcome,

NOTE:
  • Malware removal is NOT instantaneous, most infections require more than one round to properly eradicate.
  • Absence of symptoms does not always mean the job is complete, you can be certain that I will advise you when the computer is clean.
  • Kindly follow my instructions in the order posted.
  • Please DO NOT run any scans or fix items without my direction.




Please do the following:

STEP #1

Please download DDS and save it to your desktop.
  • Disable any script blocking protection
  • Double click dds.pif to run the tool.
  • When done, two DDS.txt's will open.
  • Save both reports to your desktop.
---------------------------------------------------
Please include the contents of the following in your next reply:

DDS.txt
Attach.txt.



STEP #2



Download GMER Rootkit Scanner from here or here.
  • Extract the contents of the zipped file to desktop.
  • Double click GMER.exe. If asked to allow gmer.sys driver to load, please consent .
  • If it gives you a warning about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run scan...click on NO.


    Click the image to enlarge it
  • In the right panel, you will see several boxes that have been checked. Uncheck the following ...
    • Sections
    • IAT/EAT
    • Drives/Partition other than Systemdrive (typically C:\)
    • Show All (don't miss this one)
  • Then click the Scan button & wait for it to finish.
  • Once done click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "Gmer.txt" or it will save as a .log file which cannot be uploaded to your post.
  • Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop, and attach it in reply.


**Caution**
Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries
