Hi, LDTate! I'm sorry for the delayed response. I was just having such a hard time even getting my computer to boot up til I just went to someone else's house to do my work. However, I'm wanting to continue the work on my pc. As it stand I still can't get ComboFix onto my pc. It will let me run it but it doesn't give me the option to save it. So I can't rename it. According to last night when Spyware ran it's check I have 2 threats and 9 infections on my pc but it wasn't able to clean them off. It was 8 adwares and 1 advertising. And when I got up this morn, I tried to get Spyware to run again, when it came up the hacker had disabled it. It is also showing not registered anymore. They even blocks your site from me somehow by sending me to page can't be displayed. Then my pc is telling me that it's having memory issues. I don't know what else to do. Also I had Yahoo open while I was typing this and it's totally disappeared. The screen also went completely white. Do you have another test we can attempt to run? much appreciated for your suggestion, and very frustrated with this hj Denise
Hi! Sorry I missed you on the other day. I have to head out to the local library to use one of their reference book for an assignment. Will check in periodically through the day. Denise
Hi, LDT! I've managed to save combofix onto my pc. I've even sent a shortcut to my desktop, but when I click on the run tab, I got this message: C:\327882R2FWJFW\\pv.cfexe is not a valid Win32 application.

Hi, LDT!

I've managed to save combofix onto my pc. I've even sent a shortcut to my desktop, but when I click on the run tab, I got this message: C:\327882R2FWJFW\\pv.cfexe is not a valid Win32 application.

OK. You need to have the file combofix.exe on the desktop, not just a shortcut. It won't work unless the file is on the desktop. Then try this again.

Uninstall spyware doctor again.

Look at the lower right toolbar by the clock, right click on any icons there and select exit or disable.


  • Now physically disconnect from the internet and STOP all your monitoring programs (Antivirus/Antispyware, Guards and Shields)
  • Click on your START button and choose Run. Then copy/paste the entire content of the following quotebox (Including the "" marks and the Symbols) into the run box.

    Go to [external image: Posted Image] -> Run -> copy/paste in the following single line command & click OK

    "%userprofile%\desktop\combofix.exe" /killall


    [external image: Posted Image]
  • Click OK and this will start ComboFix in a special way.
  • When finished, it will produce a log. Please save that log to a Notepad File to post in your next reply along with a fresh HJT log.

Note:
Do not mouse-click combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

* After you have saved the logs, restart your system to re-enable all the programs that were disabled during the running of ComboFix.

* Reconnect to the internet

* Post the following logs/Reports:
  • ComboFix.txt
  • Fresh HijackThis log run after all the other tools have performed their cleanup.
Hi, LDTate! My pc finally let me do the cfix scan. I also got my original desktop back. However, my pc is still hanging up.

All I can tell you is it appears to be clean to me.
You can however start a new topic concerning the hangups here:

Do this first:

Good job :thumbup:

  • Click START then RUN
  • Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.

    • [external image: Posted Image]


    Here's my usual all clean post

    Log looks good :D


    • Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
      • From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
      • Click once on the Security tab
      • Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
      • Click once on the Custom Level button.
      • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
      • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
      • Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
      • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
      • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
      • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
      • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
      • If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
    • Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
  • Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperative that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week
    (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.

  • Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer.
    Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over.
    I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients.
    Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.

    For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:
    Note: I no longer suggest Zone Alarm

    Understanding and Using Firewalls

  • Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly.
    This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.
    If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site
    until there are no more critical updates.

  • 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.
  • Winpatrol

  • Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly.
    Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Only run one Anti-Virus and Firewall program.

I would also suggest you read this:
So how did I get infected in the first place?
by Tony Klein
Good morning, LDTate! Thanks for all of your help. I will start my new topic as soon as I run all of the programs you want me to do. Have a great day! :) Denise
Since this issue appears to be resolved … this Topic has been closed. Glad we could be of assistance. If you're the topic starter, and need this topic reopened, please contact a staff member with the address of the thread. Everyone else please begin a New Topic.
