You wanted the combofix log, but I dont know if it includes the vundofix file you requested. Computer runs faster, and spybot found virtumonde, win32 and zlob.

Spybot found viruses here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SecurityCenter\AntivirusOverride
Post #2

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SecurityCenter\AntivirusOverride

My guess is it's leftover from removal.

Uninstall SpyBot and download a new SpyBot.
Post #3 last edited
When I reboot it goes to an optional safe mode normal mode screen for a couple of seconds. Should I resend you combofix with the vundofix file? If so how did we do that? Rescreen with spybot newly installed? Still when i load windows my monitored antivirus in the security center is switched to not monitored. Spybot finds the same thing: (SBI $3604910C) Settings HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SecurityCenter\AntivirusOverride

When your desktop appears and your firewall and AV aren't active yet, that's nothing to worry about. If they don't go active in a minute or two, then that might be something to worry about. Did you uninstall SpyBot and get a new copy of it? If so, see if SB is still seeing the infection.

This is from Spybot Customer Support:

Since the Detections Update from July 25, 2005, Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.4 has been detecting Security Risks (renamed to "Windows Security Center" on July 30) associated with Microsoft Security Center Registry changes. This is neither a false positive nor a bug. It is just an information.
Spybot-S&D only wants to bring to your attention that "someone" disabled one or more notifications in the Windows Security Center, e.g. the notifications that your virus protection is not active or not up-to-date. If you changed the settings yourself you can safely tell Spybot to exclude those detections from further scans.
In order to do so please right-click each in turn, then click "exclude this detection from future scans". That way, should any other part of security center settings change, Spybot will still detect those.
The same is true if you have another security solution installed (like McAfee Security Center or Norton Internet Security). These programs also disable the Windows Security Center in order to take care of things themselves. The reason why the changes are flagged by Spybot-S&D is that there are also malware programs that disable the notifications so the user doesn't take note of his security tools not being effective.

ok, thank you. but why does the pc go to safe mode screen now before it wouldnt do that. How do I fix that please?

Is it just the Option to select Recovery Console and Safe Mode?

If you do nothing at that screen does it boot in Normal Mode?
Post #11
i fixed it. so case closed- do you think my pc has no viruses? What antivrus should I ultimately install? Thanks for your help. : )
Post #12
Good job :thumbup:

The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

  • Click START run
  • Now type ComboFix /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.



To be on the safe side, I would also change all my passwords.



Here's my usual all clean post

Log looks good :D


  • Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
    1. From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
    2. Click once on the Security tab
    3. Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
    4. Click once on the Custom Level button.
    5. Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
    6. Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
    7. Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
    8. Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
    9. Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
    10. Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
    11. When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
    12. If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.

  • Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
  • Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperative that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week
    (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.

  • Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer.
    Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over.
    I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients.
    Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.

  • Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly.
    This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.
    If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site
    until there are no more critical updates.

  • Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly.
    Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Only run one Anti-Virus and Firewall program.


I would suggest you read How to Prevent Malware:

Only run one AVG at a time.


Use an AntiVirus Software - Choose only one - More than one will conflict. It is very important that your computer has anti-virus software running to protect against viruses. Update Antivirus prior to manual scans as necessary or as used. Please only choose one, having more than one can cause problems, such as crashes and your computer to slow down.
