Hi manicd,
My name is
NoodleTech . I would be glad to look into this problem for you. It may or may not be malware related.
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. Please be aware that removing malware is not without risk and while unrecoverable damage to systems is rare, it can happen and may require a re-format and re-install of your operating system. Because of this it is a good idea to back-up anything important saved on your computer. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for the issues on this machine. Do not delete anything unless instructed to. DO NOT use tools such as ComboFix without supervision. Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clean. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clean. 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. Failure to respond within 3 days will result in this topic being closed - If you need more time to complete the steps required, please let me know.===================================================
Please download DDS by sUBs from one of the following links and save it to your desktop.
Disable any script blocking protection (How to Disable your Security Programs ) Double click DDS icon to run the tool (may take up to 3 minutes to run) When done, DDS.txt will open. After a few moments, attach.txt will open in a second window. Save both reports to your desktop. —————————————————
Post the contents of the DDS.txt report in your next replyAttach the Attach.txt report to your post by scrolling down to the Attachments area and then clicking Browse . Browse to where you saved the file, and click Open and then click UPLOAD .===================================================
Please download aswMBR.exe and save it to your desktop.
Double click aswMBR.exe to start the tool. (Vista/Windows 7 users - right click to run as administrator)
Click
Scan
Upon completion of the scan, click Save log and save it to your desktop, and post that log in your next reply for review. Note - do NOT attempt any Fix yet. You will also notice another file created on the desktop named MBR.dat . Right click that file and select Send To>Compressed (zipped) file. Attach that zipped file in your next reply as well.
manicd,
My pleasure!
Please do the following
Refer to the
ComboFix User's Guide
Download ComboFix from one of these locations:
Link 1
Link 2
* IMPORTANT !!! Place ComboFix.exe on your Desktop
Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with ComboFix.
You can get help on disabling your protection programs here
Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts. Your desktop may go blank. This is normal. It will return when ComboFix is done. ComboFix may reboot your machine. This is normal. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply
Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.
———————————————————————————————
Ensure your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications are re-enabled.
———————————————————————————————
NOTE: If you encounter a message
"illegal operation attempted on registry key that has been marked for deletion" and no programs will run - please just reboot and that will resolve that error.
Hi Noodletech, sorry for the late reply. Here is my log as requested. I had to reboot twice after windows failed start up after the first time after running comb-fix.

Hello NoodleTech, I hope all is well
With the flash player, is it safe to select: "do not check for updates"? I don't really want the updater running in the background using resources.

Thanks in advance
Hi manicd,
It is safe as long as you remember to check for updates periodically. With that said, your logs appear to be malware free.
Please delete
DDS and aswMBR from your desktop.
Follow these steps to uninstall Combofix
*
Click START
* Now type
ComboFix /Uninstall in the searchbox and hit
ENTER . Note the space between the X and the /, it needs to be there.
(Note: There is a space between the ..X and the /U that needs to be there.)

Here are some tips to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future :
Updates
It is very important that you keep your Operating System and applications up to date so that you will be less susceptible to malware. It's a good idea to have Windows Update automatically download and install updates as they become available. Secunia Online Software Inspector is a great tool that will tell you which of your applications are outdated and vulnerable to attack.Run Anti-Virus Software
For an excellent list of free anti virus software, free online virus scanners, free spyware detection/removal and free firewalls, click here . IMPORTANT! Please make sure you only have ONE firewall and ONE real-time antivirus installed on your system. When using "on demand" scanners, first update the detection signature files, then disconnect from the internet and disable your resident security program before running the scan. Once complete, remember to re-engage your resident security before going online. Passwords
It is good security practice to change your passwords to all your online accounts on a fairly regular basis, this is especially true after an infection. Refer to this Microsoft article
Strong passwords: How to create and use them and consider a password keeper , to keep all your passwords safe. Spyware Protection
This is a good time to set up protection against further attacks. In light of your recent problem, I'm sure you'd like to avoid any future infections. Please read these well written articles: How to Prevent Malware by miekiemoesPC Safety and Security–What Do I Need?
Additional Software
To help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programs if you do not already have them: SpywareBlaster prevents the installation of ActiveX-based malware, blocks cookies, and restricts the actions of "bad" sites. See tutorial here MVPS HOSTS FILE replaces your current HOSTS file with one that will restrict known ad sites from serving you unsolicited advertisements.Google Chrome is a great alternative to Internet Explorer and Firefox.
Follow these steps, keep your antivirus program and antispyware programs updated, and scan with them on a regular basis. By doing so, your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.
Hopefully this should take care of your problems! Good luck.
Do you have any further questions?
**Please respond one more time to confirm your problem is resolved so I can close this thread.
Hi NoodleTech,
Thank you so much for your help with this issue.
I tried to uninstall Combofix through "Run" but it couldn't find the uninstaller;all the seems to remain of Combofix is the Qoobox file. Is it safe to delete this?
What should I do about the original problem now that my machine appears to be clean?
Thanks in advance
Hi manicd,
Did you by any chance delete the Combofix.exe file you downloaded earlier? You can download it again from the links in my previous post. Do not run it. Just follow the uninstall instructions. Click start, then type
Combofix /Uninstall in the search box.
Let me know if that doesn't work.
Regarding your original problem, I'm not quite sure what's causing it. You did have an infected file system driver. It was replaced. Are you still having the issue?
Hi manicd,
Do you still need help?
Hi NoodleTech,
Sorry for taking so long to reply & leaving you in the lurch.
I haven't tried to replicate my original problem as yet because I simply haven't had the time (Christmas, New Years etc) - but I will.
As my computer is clean should I head back over to the tech forums?
Just out of interest, what Driver was infected? Does it relate to any software?
I want to thank you again for your time and effort.
Hi manicd,
You are very welcome. I would try and replicate the original problem and make sure it still occurs before returning to the tech forum.
The ntfs.sys driver was infected. It relates to the operating system.
As a last measure, let's clear your temp files to free up some space.
Download
TFC to your desktop
Open the file and close any other windows. It will close all programs itself when run, make sure to let it run uninterrupted. Click the Start button to begin the process. The program should not take long to finish its job Once its finished it should reboot your machine , if not, do this yourself to ensure a complete clean
