Experiencing annoying pop-ups whilst using IE. The virus scanners I'm using keep detecting and removing viruses but they appear to be the same viruses each time.

I'm trying to determine why my PC keeps getting re-infected and what I am missing.

Hi

Download and Run ComboFix
  • Download this file from below:

    Here
  • Disconnect from the Internet, than disable your anti-virus and any real-time anti-spyware monitors that are running.
  • Then double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply with a new HijackThis log.
Note 1: Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall
Note 2:Remember to re-enable your anti-virus and anti-spyware before reconnecting to the Internet.

I ran a virus check on combofix.exe before I ran it and got these results: APPL/NirCmd.1 suspicious Trojan/Worm Misc/Dumphive Application/NirCmd.A Trojan.Win32.Autoit.D Bat/sdel NirCmd VIPRE.Suspicious Win32.ModifiedUPX.gen!84 (suspicious) How can I trust anything you ask me to run?

Hi Darren

I can assure you, there is ntohing I would ask you to run that is unsafe. In the untrained hands, prhaps. Combofix is a program written by a well-respected member of the Anti-malware community and an excellent tool, as you will see. And it's free. The reason anti-virus scanners show it as suspicious is it's use of a command-line utility, which is actually a freeware version of what's already on your computer.

We helpers train for a long time to help users like yourself for free. We would never do anything to compromise your computer.

Here's a few links for you to read.
