I was looking at some game sites last night, dowloaded a file. After installing the file, I was immediatley attacked. There were four programs running in the tool bar at the lower right hand side of the window, that I stopped them in Task manager and deleted the folder and files and registry. And a link to a porn site gets placed on the desktop:
"http://www.megaporndump.com/"

BUT when I re-booted same attack (different file name this time, deleted etc from pc and registry).
The "error" messages that pop up do not give a program attached like McAfee, Windows etc but if selected all go to this site(stopped by McAfee):
"http://scanner.vav-x-scanner.com/35/?advid=0000005378&dgjnbdvfgh34&"

Anyway here is a Hijack log.

Any thoughts as to where the file is located that needs to be removed?

Man I hate Vista. I can't find the Kaspercy file. It is late and I re-run the scan tomorrow.

BTW I have Smithfraudfix on the pc and McAfee keeps telling me the PCViwer is a potentially unwanted program. I should think that they would know about it? Sinnce it is designed to remove harmful programs.

Ok, I'll await the Kaspersky results :)

Can you post the MalwareBytes log as well please?

BTW I have Smithfraudfix on the pc and McAfee keeps telling me the PCViwer is a potentially unwanted program. I should think that they would know about it? Sinnce it is designed to remove harmful programs.

Well, SmitFraudFix isn't a commercial program, it is made by a member of this malware removal community. As far as McAfee are concerned, they have no idea whether or not it is actually safe. A few of the tools we use are picked up by commercial AntiVirus and AntiMalware scanners because of this.

Thanks.

A little education if you please. I ran a scan again and went to safe it, and the file was right where I saved it, so I saved to another location. After saving I am unablse to search for or find this file. What setting must I have to find a *.txt file that is on the pc?

For example I cannot open c:\users\accountname\LocalSettings. I get an error message location is not accessible. Access denied. That is where one of the text files is located(MyDocuments actually, but access is denied there also)

Hi

Perhaps we could try uploading it. Start a new reply to this topic, and then navigate to below the main post area, where you will find the Attachment Manager. Click Browse and then locate the report. Click ok/open and then UPLOAD. All you need to do then is Add Reply (you will probably need to enter some text into the main post area).

If that fails, perhaps you could try running the scan again, and then save the report somewhere that you can definitely get to, like C:\.

If not, we will try something else.

How is the computer running, apart from this?

Thanks.

When I select file to uplaod, it shows the file, but when I select upload, I get an error message you didn't select a file. But the files don't show up on a scan, but when I go to save them as: the files are there and the program asked if I want to write over it. What is up with Vista

This one?

What setting must I have to find a *.txt file that is on the pc?


No special setting, you should be able to see it unless it was specifically made hidden.
Post #12
Yes, it is the same pc. I have shut the web site down, had it open for a couple of days to type in the results. There were maybe 3 files that might be effected. I can't remember all the specific information. But with Vista, I am unable to find/ copy the files that I have copied. When doing the file save as the files were present and asked if I wanted to overwrite. So the files are there, I am just unable to copy them to a post because I can't "find" them with this gd Vista. I need some technical information/skills with Vista to transfer the information
Post #14
Okay as far as Vista folder/file structure goes it's a bit different from XP and will take some getting used to….it did for me at first.

If you want to go to "My Documents" (the "XP way") the correct path is…

C:\Users\%user name%\Documents

See the difference?

Now, just to be clear, what are you looking for? The Kaspersky file? The easiest thing to do is save on your desktop, that way you cannot lose it. Do you remember where you saved it?
