    Hi everytime i start the PC the above mentioned command box flashes quickly. I have run through the Malware removal guide but there are no logs for the TDSSkiller as it did not find any threats. I ran the malware removal process last night and then went to bed as it was late. Windows then decided to update and now this morning i have 2 new identical icons on my desktop which are faded out entitled desktop.ini Thankyou for your time.

    You have to make the log by following the instructions given to make one.

    However I don't think you are having problems. It may just be what you are running at startup and the below is where I would start:

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AMD AVT] Cmd.exe /c start "AMD Accelerated Video Transcoding device initialization" /min "C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD AVT\bin\kdbsync.exe" aml

    Try disabling it with MSconfig and see if that stops it.

    Side note: I do recommend that you uninstall Yontoo

    Thank you for you help. Ok so i looked on MSconfig and that line was already unticked, so i thought i would tick it to see what happens. The same command box popped up. So then i unticked it again and on the next reboot it seems to of done the trick. I also uninstalled yontoo (not sure where that came from) thankyou again.

    You're welcome.




    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. You can uninstall RogueKiller and HitManPro.
    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.
    6. If running Vista or Win 7, 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:
