Hi all,

My Dads PC is infected with bifrost, could somebody please look at the hijack this log and help? I'm unable to run any exe files on the machine as it's a work laptop and we don't have the admin details. It's not letting any exe's run anyway.. Also, it's completely hidden the original desktop and replaced it with a bog-standard desktop with fake pop ups etc.

Here's the log:

Hi Bob,

You need to boot into safe mode, show hidden files and folders, navigate to the following file > rightclick and rename it

  • Check the boxes next to ONLY the entries listed below (if still present):


O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [UjwpqfVIXBAeRvl] C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\UjwpqfVIXBAeRvl.exe

  • Close all windows except Hijackthis and click Fix Checked
  • Click Yes when prompted
  • Close HijackThis.


You should be able to boot normally now and get your desktop back


just to make sure we have everything, run these diagnostics

Please download DDS from either of these links

and save it to your desktop.
  • Disable any script blocking protection
  • Double click dds to run the tool.
  • When done, two DDS.txt's will open.

—————————————————
Please include the contents of the following in your next reply:

Just want to say thanks for the help, it looks ok now and after a full system scan, Microsoft's Security Essentials looks as if it has removed the remains of the virus :)
Post #4
OK, I'll close out this topic for now then If you find things still aren't quite right, run the diagnostic scan I recommended and start a new topic sheers ~CB
