Tried Running it from the USB
(combfix.exe then ABCD.exe . then qwerty.exe )
A command window opens briefly then closes .
It opens and closes so fast , the human eye cant see what it said.
Gee
I used my onscreen camera to record what the window said.
Played it back and froze it on the cmd window.
It just the combfix program trying to start and exiting immediately, as expected i suppose.
Now physically disconnect from the internet and STOP all your monitoring programs (Antivirus/Antispyware, Guards and Shields)
Click on your START button and choose Run. Then copy/paste the entire content of the following quotebox (Including the "" marks and the Symbols) into the run box.
Go to [external image: Posted Image] -> Run -> copy/paste in the following single line command & click OK
"%userprofile%\desktop\combofix.exe" /killall

Click OK and this will start ComboFix in a special way.
When finished, it will produce a log. Please save that log to a Notepad File to post in your next reply along with a fresh HJT log.
Note: Do not mouse-click combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
* After you have saved the logs, restart your system to re-enable all the programs that were disabled during the running of ComboFix.
disconnected and tried .
combfix opens and closes immediately.
Shall I change the path to the USB stick ?
Also Im thinking of re-booting and trying again.
there are files waiting to be updated when I shut down.
Also , someone is coming to pick me up and take me to my vehicle .MI may be gone for some time.
hello,
I dont know the correct way to write "%userprofile%G:\ABCD.exe\combofix.exe" /killall
Im getting a syntax error , I cant work out how to correctly point to the g:\ drive. where combofix is on my usb stick.
also , I still cant download anything to my desktop , nor get combofix or abcd or any other random name to run after rebooting.
I cant even download AVG nor get it to install from my stick !
My lapto is running ok, , no crashes , but ive got no protection whatso ever.
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.
