Open the FINDnFIX folder and then open the keys1 folder. Right-click on the MOVEit.bat file and select 'edit'. That will open the file as an empty text file - copy and paste this line into the blank file:

move %WinDir%\System32\COME.DLL %SystemDrive%\junkxxx\COME.DLL

Save the file and close. The next step will cause a restart. Still in the keys1 folder, double click on FIX.bat. You will get an alert of about 15 seconds before reboot - allow it to reboot.

On restart, open the FINDnFIX folder again and double-click on RESTORE.bat. When it is finished, in FINDnFIX folder, there will be a file called Log1.txt - post it's contents in your next reply.



Occasionally when trying to edit the MOVEit.bat file the following error occurs: "Windows cannot find "C:FINDnFIX\keys1\MOVEit.bat. Make sure you typed the name correctly then try again."

If that happens, skip that step and proceed this way instead. In the keys1 folder, double click on FIX.bat. You will get an alert of about 15 seconds before reboot - allow it to reboot. On restart, open Explorer and navigate to C:\Windows\System32 folder, find the COME.DLL file (it should be visible now). Highlight the file and using top menu, click Edit>Move to folder…

Select C:\junkxxx as destination. Move the file.

Open the FINDnFIX folder again and double-click on RESTORE.bat. When it is finished, in FINDnFIX folder, there will be a file called Log1.txt - post it's contents in your next reply.

Nearly there, open the FINDnFIX folder again and open the Files2 folder. Double-click on the ZIPZAP.bat. It will quickly clean the rest and will make a copy of the bad file(s) in the same folder (junkxxx.zip) and open your email client with instructions. Simply drag and drop the junkxxx.zip file from the folder into the mail message and submit to the specified addresses.

Please be sure to include a link to this thread in the body of your email. Reboot when done, then delete the entire FINDnFIX folder. Rescan with HJT and post a new log in your next reply.

I have followed all of your instructions to the tee and it seems like it was doing what you said but the log still seems dirty.

Open CWShredder, click 'Check for update' to make sure you are running version 1.59.1 and run it, hit 'fix' as opposed to 'scan only'. Reboot when done.

Open Ad-Aware. Before scanning click on "check for updates now" to make sure you have the latest reference file. Then click the gear wheel at the top and check these options:

General> activate these: "Automatically save log-file" and "Automatically quarantine objects prior to removal"

Scanning > activate these: "Scan within archives", "Scan active processes", "Scan registry", "Deep scan registry", "Scan my IE Favorites for banned sites" and "Scan my Hosts file"

Tweaks > Scanning Engine> activate this: "Unload recognized processes during scanning."

Tweaks > Cleaning Engine: activate these: "Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion" and "Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."

Click "Proceed" to save your settings, then click "Start", make sure "Activate in-depth scan" is ticked green then scan your system. When the scan is finished, the screen will tell you if anything has been found, click "Next". The bad files will be listed, right click the pane and click "Select all objects" - this will put a check mark in the box at the side, click "Next" again and click "OK" at the prompt "# objects will be removed. Continue?".

Reboot when done.

I think we got everything. I followed all of your instructions and it doesnt look like there is anything left on this computer. Great Job!!! Thank you so much for taking time out of your schedule to help me out. I really appreciate it.

Just in case though, could you just track this message for another couple of days just in case. I have had several occasions where I thought it was fixed and then it resurfaced within a day or 2. I think we got it this time but you never know.


Here is my new HJT log just in case:

Again thank you so much for your help.
I could have never done this without you.
Post #23
You're welcome - glad to help :D It won't come back now but I'll leave it open for now. Just post back in a day or two and let me know how it's running.
Post #24
Looks like everything is OK. It hasnt made a comback and my system is running fine now and back to the way it was. I guess it's safe to say we can close this thread. Thanks once again for the help. You guys really are great at what you do.
