Hi Nina,

 

that's weird, there's no folder at C:\windows\system32\drivers and a search on whole computer for ryiqzhck.sys doesn't come up with anything? (corrected the file location)

The path is C:\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers, not C:\WINDOWS\Drivers.

As ComboFix seems to be the only thing that sees it, we’ll get ComboFix to get rid of it.

Open ComboFix

Please do the following:

  • close any open browsers.
  • close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so that they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
  • open notepad and copy/paste the text in the codebox below into it:
File::
c:\windows\system32\drivers\ryiqzhck.sys
Driver::
ryiqzhck

Save this as "CFScript.txt", and as  Type: All Files (*.*) in the same location as ComboFix.exe

CFScriptB-4.gif

Referring to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe

When finished, it produces a log at C:\ComboFix.txt.  Post the contents of Combofix.txt in your next reply and tell me if there are any remaining problems. If all is well, I’ll send instructions to tidy up.

Thanks

Hi Duncan

 

Your friend's computer appears to be clean.

Now that it's free from malware, as long as the computer seems to be running well, please follow these simple steps to tidy up and decrease the likelihood of it getting infected again:

Uninstall Combofix

Follow these steps to uninstall Combofix

  • click START then RUN
  • now type Combofix /uninstall in the runbox and click OK.

Note the space between the X and the /, it needs to be there.

CFuninstall.jpg


  • please follow the prompts to uninstall Combofix.
  • once it's finished uninstalling itself you will receive a message saying Combofix was uninstalled successfully.

===================================================

Uninstall OTL

  • double-click OTL.exe
  • click the CleanUp! button.
  • select Yes when the Begin cleanup Process? prompt appears.
  • if you are prompted to reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
  • the tool will delete itself once it finishes, if not delete it by yourself.

NOTE: If you receive a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTL attempting to contact the internet, please allow it to do so.

===================================================

Uninstall AdwCleaner

  • double click on adwcleaner.exe to run the tool
  • click on Uninstall
  • confirm with Yes.

You can delete all other logs and programs we’ve used that are on your desktop. Just click on them and press Delete.

===================================================

Antivirus

You have no active antivirus on your computer. If you use the Internet without an antivirus your computer will certainly become infected again. It is also imperative that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week, (even more if you wish). If you do not update it, it will not be able to catch any of the new variants of malware that come out on a daily basis.

Do NOT install more than one or they will fight against each other and render both ineffective.

Here are some of the better AV products.

Download and install one of these free antivirus programs:


Free Avast Home Edition
Avira AntiVir® Personal Edition Classic
Microsoft Security Essentials
 

===================================================

Windows updates

I notice that Windows updates are waiting to be installed. Click here for information on how to get the latest Windows updates:

===================================================

Update installed programs

Your version of Adobe Reader is out-of-date and need to be removed and updated.

Having the latest updates ensures there are no security vulnerabilities in your system.

Uninstall the following program:

Adobe Reader 9

  • click Start, Control Panel, Programs, Programs and Features.
  • click on Adobe Reader 9 and then Uninstall.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Visit Adobe and download the latest version of Acrobat Reader.

===================================================

Recommended programs

SpywareBlaster. SpywareBlaster protects against bad ActiveX, it immunizes your PC against them. It blocks over 11,000 bad sites and uses no resources of your computer.

===================================================

Update and run Malwarebytes. This really is an excellent program that you should also update and run on a regular basis, probably weekly.

===================================================

It’s important to keep programs up to date so that malware doesn't exploit any old security flaws.

FileHippo Update Checker is an extremely helpful program that will tell you which of your programs need to be updated.

===================================================

MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer, meaning it will be difficult to infect yourself in the future.

A couple of links with information here and here which can answer any questions you might have about installing/using it.

===================================================

I also recommend that you read the following:

How to prevent malware by miekiemoes

Help! My computer is slow! by miekiemoes

Simple and easy ways to keep your computer safe and secure on the Internet  by Lawrence Abrams

I will keep this open for 24 hours in case you have any problems, after which I’ll close the topic.

Safe computing

Hi Nina,

 

sorry for the delay. Was in transit to Skye. That's all done now, thanks. You've been a great help. :)
