First I would like to say thanks so much for this forum. It has been a while since I have used it but it has always been sooooo helpful and gotten me out of some binds.

Anyway, I think I got rid of the cloud protection virus/trojan that has been popping up saying I need to do a scan but here is my log just in case. I would GREATLY appreciate it if someone took a look at it.

Hello ericaps,


My name is BlackPegasus.

  • Malware Logs can sometimes take a lot of time to research and interpret.
  • Please be patient while I try to assist with your problem. If at any time you do not understand what is required, please ask for
    further explanation.
  • Please note that there is no "Quick Fix" to modern malware infections and we may need to use several different approaches to
    get your system clean.
  • Read every reply you receive carefully and thoroughly before carrying out the instructions. You may also find it helpful to print out
    the instructions you receive, as in some instances you may have to disconnect your computer from the Internet.
  • PLEASE NOTE: If you do not reply after 3 days your thread will be closed.
  • Please be aware that I am still in training, and all of my replies to you will be checked for accuracy by one of our experts to
    ensure that I am giving you the best possible advice.
  • This may cause a delay in response time, but I will do my best to keep it as short as possible.
  • I will reply back shortly with instructions.
Hi ericaps


Please be advised, as I am still in training, all my replies to you will be checked for accuracy by one of our experts to ensure that I am giving you the best possible advise, this will be a team effort. This may cause a delay, but I will do my best to keep it as short as possible.


IMPORTANT NOTE : Please do not delete anything unless instructed to. DO NOT use any TOOLS such as Combofix or HijackThis fixes without supervision.
Doing so could make your system inoperable and could require a full reinstall of your Operating System and losing all your programs and data.

Vista and Windows 7 users:

These tools MUST be run from the executable. (.exe) every time you run them
with Admin Rights (Right click, choose "Run as Administrator")
  • Fix HijackThis entries
    Important!
    Please temporarily disable any anti-spyware programs you are using, listed Here

    1. Run HijackThis
    * If you are on the Main Menu page… Click "Do a system scan only"
    * If you are on the "scan & fix stuff" page… Press the Scan…button.
    2. When the scan finishes…Place a check mark next to the following entries (if they are still present):
