I'm not sure if this condition is correctable, I would rather poke my right eye out then reinstall but I think I've come to terms with it. Any way, it's my son's computer. He had installed the malware named AV2009 while trying to get a free app for his IPOD touch.

I've run ComboFix, which found a few problems, ATF cleaner, AVG. I also went in and manually deleted any file named av2009. Malwarebytes came up empty also.

Now I am getting termination error, services.exe terminated 2147483645 and if you click OK to terminate or Cancel to debug it sends Windows in to shutdown mode.

I don't think the computer is infected with AV2009 anymore because the popups have stopped. And I did a search for the error and read that it sounded like the sasser virus so I ran FxSasser and came up negative. And then I updated Windows from serPack2 to serPack3 in hopes that it would correct the problem but it didn't.

I am running Norton corporate AV, and its up to date. During the cleaning of AV2009 it was catching trojans, in Auto protect. Ran startup scans and have come up clean.So I'm really not sure if AV2009 was the only problem, as I'm sure my son didn't tell me everything he's done or how long this as gone on for.

Like I said, I'm not even sure if it can be corrected. Sorry if I created any more problems by running the fixes but usually things are pretty straight forward and I'm able to go at it myself.

I've backed up the registry with Urunt and here is the Hijackthis log, Thanks in advance.

I just realized that the log file above was created after terminating services.exe and stopping the automatic shut down through the command prompt, shutdown /a.

This is the log file before terminating services.exe. It looked like it was different.

DO NOT use any TOOLS such as Combofix, Vundofix, or HijackThis fixes without supervision.

Doing so could make your pc inoperatible and could require a full reinstall of your OS, losing all your programs and data.



Stay with this topic until I give you the all clean post.

You might want to print these instructions out.

I suggest you do this:

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Uncheck "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, select "Show hidden files and folders."
Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.


Please do not delete anything unless instructed to.


Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
Download - ATF Cleaner»
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.

(If you use FireFox or the Opera browser
To keep saved passwords, click No at the prompt.)

It's normal after running ATF cleaner that the PC will be slower to boot the first time or two.

Next:

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop.

  • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected .
  • When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location and post the results.
  • Note: If you receive a notice that some of the items couldn't be removed, that they have been added to the delete on reboot list, please reboot.
Also "copy/paste" a new HijackThis log file into this thread.

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Thanks for the reply. On advice from a friend I ran sfc /scannow, system file check. It found errors but couldn't repair them. So we tried to do a Windows repair, booting to the CD and something screws up and it goes in to a full install, that couldn't complete. So I blew the box away from the recovery partition, since this proprietary piece of carp** HP didn't come with CDs. Just a note, the first time you boot this kind of machine it asks you to make recovery disks, I suggest people do so because even though I had the same version Windows CD as was installed on this box, it wouldn't make a repair. Again thanks.
