Artemis and Vundo and who knows what else

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Your logs are clean; however you do have some problems to address. The main one is that you ignored the warning in the READ & RUN ME about having multiple antivirus programs installed. You have both McAfee SecurityCenter and StopSign Internet Security installed. The later is not recommended and at one time used to even be on the rogue software list. You need to uninstall all the Stop Sign (eAcceleration) software immediately. Running too many active security applications can cause a variety of problems including crashes.

Also if Registry Mechanic 9.0 is only a trial, uninstall it too. If you installed Spyware Doctor with the trial, also make sure you uninstall it.

You also need to uninstall the below old Sun Java version:
Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03

I also suggest that you uninstall your trial copy of PrevX which is wasting resources since it does nothing for you unless purchases and it has false detection issues.

Now delete the below folders if they still exist:
C:\Documents and Settings\Fernando\Local Settings\Application Data\beqrwhbbu
C:\Documents and Settings\Fernando\Local Settings\Application Data\ddwtweyxl
C:\Documents and Settings\Fernando\Local Settings\Application Data\hjvcuodey
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\eAcceleration
C:\Program Files\Acceleration Software
C:\Program Files\eAcceleration
C:\Program Files\StopSign



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:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

Yes your logs are clean. Your problems are not due to any malware being present. You may want to try a few things to see if they are related to software you are running:

1. See what happens if you shutdown or uninstall PrevX, Windows Defender, and McAfee. Sometimes protection software itself becomes a problem especially if it gets corrupted which can happen when multiple applications are installed at the same time. Do not suggest having PrevX and Windows Defender running anyway with McAfee since it already has its own antispyware protection builtin.
2. Try running scans in safe boot mode to see what happens.
3. Try using another browser like Mozilla FireFox

Since you are not having malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
   • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
   • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /uninstall
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
3. Go back to step 6 oof the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
6. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
8. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders
   related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
