    Greetings everyone, I have run into an issue with AntiMalware Doctor and it has me rather stumped.

    I have used the malware removal guide from this site with success on 3 or 4 other occasions for myself and family/friends, so I know the process, but this has me stumped.

    For starters, I cannot use CCleaner or Add/remove programs to uninstall the original install, not that I would expect it to work anyway, but these just starts the AntiMalware Doctor screen when I try to remove it.

    So skipping that, I run Super AntiSpyware which finds Trojan.Hugipon, AntiMalware doctor and Gen-Nullo. When I clean these and reboot, my system goes nuts. AntiMalware Doctor is back, it locks up my task manager and says its infected and won't let me get to it to see whats going on or close processes I know are bad (secureapp70700, gabpath etc)

    Finally after a bit of time it let me in and all the stuff I removed is back I ran SuperAntiSpyware again and its finding the same items it removed last time.

    I am caught in a bit of a loop here because I cannot seem to get past the first step cleanly in order to get to the next step of running MalwareBytes Anti-Malware.

    Any Advice on how to proceed?

    ok after messing around, I was able to get past it by disabling some of the items that load on startup using the msconfig. I am attaching all the logs for the scans.

    Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:
    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

    * Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
    If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
    * Also make sure you have shut down all protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) or they may get in the way of allowing ComboFix to run properly.
    * If ComboFix tells you it needs to update to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
    * Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below code box into it (make sure you scroll all the way down in the code box to get all lines selected ):
    Code:
    KILLALL::
    
    File::
    c:\windows\Ukaqinuyoze.dat
    c:\windows\Sholukuho.bin
    c:\windows\system32\drivers\jwywwcx.sys
    c:\windows\uyopopeg.dll
    c:\windows\duichso.dll
    C:\Documents and Settings\skrap1r0n\Local Settings\temp\DIV1A.TMP
    c:\documents and settings\skrap1r0n\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\Antimalware Doctor.lnk
    c:\windows\pss\Antimalware Doctor.lnkStartup
    
    Folder::
    c:\documents and settings\skrap1r0n\Local Settings\Application Data\uipiefvka
    
    Registry::
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder\C:^Documents and Settings^skrap1r0n^Start Menu^Programs^Startup^Antimalware Doctor.lnk]
    
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\Gvewoto]
    
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\Uxaji]
    
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Services\jwywwcx]
    
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{02478D38-C3F9-4efb-9B51-7695ECA05670}]
    
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{02478D38-C3F9-4efb-9B51-7695ECA05670}\NoExplorer]
    
    * Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
    * At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
    * You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
    If it asks you to overide the previous file with the same name, click YES.
    * Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe
    [​IMG]
    * Follow the prompts.
    * When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
    * I will ask for this log below

    Note:

    Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

    Then attach the below logs:

    * C:\ComboFix.txt
    * C:\MGlogs.zip

    Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

    Thanks, I had no issues running those. The files are attached. The one question I have is, the file MGlogs.Zip is the one from earlier. I don't think anything I did this round generated logs but I am reattaching it as MGlogs2.zip anyway.

    What issues are you still having? Your logs look clean. Also, what are you using for Anti-Virus software?

    I am using Avast. I just ran a deep scan on this system and it's picking up Win32:Alureon-fz. Its stating that it has successfully quarantined it, but from what I am reading, it will come back as soon as I reboot.

    System-wise, it appears to be running fine. I am monitoring all traffic in and out of this system, and so far, it looks like it is all legit.

    You need to tell me the file that Avast is complaining about. Each AV program has it's own name for different infections so I need the full path to the file.

    ComboFix already removed this so it is likely that Avast is just finding what ComboFix already quarantined or that Avast is just seeing it in System Restore. Neither of these would be problems since final instructions will clear up both.
