[Reboot]

• Return to OTM, right click in the Paste List of Files/Folders to Move window (under the yellow bar
  ) and choose Paste.
• Now click the large button.
• If OTM asks to reboot your computer, allow it to do so. The report should appear in Notepad after the reboot.
• Close OTM.

Now navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder ( assuming your Windows drive is C). This is where your log will be
saved in the form of Date and Time mmddyyyy_hhmmss.log. Just look for the most recent .log file. Attach
this log file to your next message.


Now please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

• Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
• Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Seven, right-mouse click it and select Run as Administrator.
• The tool will open and start scanning your system.
• Note: That JRT may reset your home page to a google default so you will need to restore your home page setting if this happens.
• Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
• On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
• Attach JRT.txt to your next message.

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, Win7 or Win8, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).


Then attach the below logs:

• the new RogueKiller log
• the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles log
• the JRT.TXTlog
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You're welcome. That looks better but I want to be sure that those junctions related to the ZeroAccess infection were all remove. Please run a new scan with Hitman Pro and save a new log. Attach this log.

Also test how your PC is working.

 

My last fix remove this. You really need to put the PC into normal startup mode too. MSconfig should not be used for a long term startup manager. It is meant only for temporary use primarily in debugging problems.

Okay let's try to fix the broken services for the firewall.

Run the C:\MGtools\NetFWfix.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, Win7 or Win8, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). After it finishes do the below to collect a new log before a reboot.

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, Win7 or Win8, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

Then attach the below log:

• C:\MGlogs.zip

Now reboot the PC and do the below again.

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, Win7 or Win8, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

Then attach the below log:

• C:\MGlogs.zip

 

It runs really fast. A command prompt window will open while it runs and then closes. I can see that it ran based on this first log and it fixed a few things. Now reboot and get the second log.

 

Okay based on this log, now we need to continue with the below.



Be patient while doing the below. The fixes can sometimes take quite awhile to run. Especially the permissions repairs. It may be best to kick it off and goto bed or do something else. It is better not to run anything while the repairs are going on.

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.
3. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
4. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
5. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, 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.
6. Now goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) 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.
8. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
