Hi TSS,

:welcome:

My name is Tomk. I would be glad to take a look at your log and help you with solving any malware problems. Logs can take a while to research, so please be patient and I'd be grateful if you would note the following:

  • I will be working on your Malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
  • The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for the issues on this machine.
  • Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
  • It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference.
  • If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to say or ask!! It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.
  • Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.

I am afraid that I'm going to be less than helpful to you. You appear to have a business server and we don't work with business machines. Most of our tools will not work with them. For example, you appear to have ran Sophos Virus Removal Tool which was not designed to run on a NT machine. Of of the files it flagged was C:\WINDOWS\security\Avas\mpr.exe. This file would signal an infection if found on a XP machine… but I believe that it is not uncommon on a NT machine - though I'm not sure about the location.

Also, you note that you believe you are under a DoS attack. Please remember that a DoS attack is not an infection or caused by malware. It is an attack from an outside source. I do not believe that it will leave any traces on your machine.

All that being said… I know of at least one scanner that is designed to work with your machine… but it is somewhat limited in what it targets. Let's give it a go anyway:

Download the latest version of TDSSKiller from here and save it to your Desktop.



A report will be created in your root directory, (usually C:\ folder) in the form of "TDSSKiller.[Version]_[Date]_[Time]_log.txt". Please copy and paste its contents on your next reply.
