Post #1
I am new to the site and need help…Most of this stuff is jibberish to me, but I follow directions well so if anyone could help, it would be much appreciated. I tried to do everything in the "Are you infected" part but when I tried to open Sysrestorepoint.exe but an error popped up saying ".NET framework initialization error"

Please do the following:

Please download DDS from either of these links

LINK 1
LINK 2

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.

    • 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 post it in your next reply.

Hi,

RootRepeal doesn't help me at this point.

See if GMER will run in safe mode. Reboot and when the computer starts up tap F8 repeatedly on startup until an option menu appears…arrow up to safe mode.

Run the GMER program.


Please run the following program as well.

(please don't run programs other than the one's I ask for, if you have difficulties please just post back)



Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1
Link 2

Hi,

Please do the following:

Using Internet Explorer or Firefox, visit Kaspersky On-line Scanner

1. Click Accept, when prompted to download and install the program files and database of malware definitions.
2. To optimize scanning time and produce a more sensible report for review:
  • Close any open programs
  • Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan
3. Click Run at the Security prompt.
The program will then begin downloading and installing and will also update the database.
Please be patient as this can take quite a long time to download.
  • Once the update is complete, click on My Computer under the green Scan bar to the left to start the scan.
  • Once the scan is complete, it will display if your system has been infected. It does not provide an option to clean/disinfect. We only require a report from it.
  • Do NOT be alarmed by what you see in the report. Many of the finds have likely been quarantined.
  • Click View scan report at the bottom.

  • Click the Save as Text button to save the file to your desktop so that you may post it in your next reply
