I got a blue desktop screen with the virus detected screen. Spybot wont run, and either will Firefox. IE will let me go to some websights (not this one). Ad-aware wont update and finds the same 4 things every time. I ran Smthfraidfix and now have my desktop back. I could get to Ewido with IE, it found about 1400 entries, but errored out before it fixed anything. I ran LSPfix, and it shows no problems. I have run CWShredder, and now comes back clean. Mbam wont run. Here is my Log

Hi bornlooser

I'm Gary R, I'll be glad to help you with your computer problems.

Please observe these rules while we work:
  • Perform all actions in the order given.
  • If you don't know, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
  • Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
  • Stick with it till you're given the all clear.
  • Remember, absence of symptoms does not mean the infection is all gone.
If you can do these things, everything should go smoothly.
  • If you're using XP, you'll need Administrator privileges to perform the fixes. (XP accounts are Administrator by default)
  • If you're using Vista, it will be necessary to right click all tools we use and select —-> Run as Admistrator

It may be helpful to you to print out or take a copy of any instructions given, as sometimes it is necessary to go offline and you will lose access to them.


You are running HijackThis from a Temporary location. C:\DOCUME~1\Beth\LOCALS~1\Temp\Hijack.exe

Please delete your current version of HijackThis.

Download HJTInstall.exe to your Desktop.
  • Doubleclick HJTInstall.exe to install it.
  • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis .
  • Click on Install.
  • It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
  • Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
  • Close HijackThis, we don't need it at the moment. Please use this version if/when I ask you to use it.

We need to disable Spybot S&D Teatimer, as it will interfere with what we're trying to do.

To disable Spybot S&D TeaTimer

First step:
  • Right-click the Spybot Icon in the System Tray (looks like a blue/white calendar with a padlock symbol)
  • Right click the Spybot icon again and make sure Resident Protection is now Unchecked. The Spybot icon in the System tray should now be now colorless.
Second step:
  • Open Spybot S&D
  • Click Mode, choose Advanced Mode
  • Go To the bottom of the Vertical Panel on the Left, Click Tools
  • then, also in left panel, click Resident shows a red/white shield.
  • If your firewall raises a question, say OK
  • In the Resident protection status frame, Uncheck the box labeled Resident "Tea-Timer"(Protection of over-all system settings) active
  • OK any prompts.
  • Use File, Exit to terminate Spybot
  • Reboot your machine for the changes to take effect.

Now to start getting you cleaned up.

There are some new infections that damage your ability to boot if they are removed. So before we go any further, I need you to install Recovery Console to your computer. This is purely a precautionary measure, I don't see signs of them on your computer, but it's better to be a little cautious now than regretful later.

Recovery Console gives us the ability to recover your computer if things go wrong.

  • Download combofix.exe by sUBs to your Desktop (it must be in this location).
  • Alternate Download
  • If you already have a previous version, delete it and download a new version.
  • Go to Microsoft's website
  • Select the download that's appropriate for your Operating System (if you have XP Media Centre, use download for XP Pro)

[external image: Posted Image]

  • Download the file & save it as it's originally named, to your Desktop.
  • Next
  • Disconnect from the Internet.
  • Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, and anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its files which may cause unpredictable results.
  • Click here to see a list of programs that should be disabled (ignore the firewalls). The list is not all inclusive. If yours are not listed and you don't know how to disable them, please ask.

[external image: Posted Image]

  • Now close all open windows and programs, then drag the setup package onto ComboFix.exe and drop it.
  • Follow the prompts to start ComboFix.
  • When prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install Microsoft Recovery Console.
  • When complete a mesage will pop up asking if you want to continue scanning for Malware.
    • Click Yes
    • Combofix will now run a scan. (Usually takes 15-20 mins, but could be slightly longer)
    • When finished, it will
    • Produce a log for you. (it can also be found at C:\Combofix.txt)
  • Post the log in your next reply please.
  • Now run a new HJT scan (using your newly installed version) and send me the log from that as well please.
[*]Don't forget to re-enable your anti-virus and anti-malware protection before re-connecting to the Internet.


IMPORTANT
  • Do not use your computer while Combofix is running.
  • Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.
  • If you've lost your Internet connection when Combofix has completely finished, re-start your computer to restore it.
If you have any problems with these instructions, a detailed Tutorial for how to use Combofix is available here.
