    I use Google Chrome but recently the wave in my volume control keeps on automatically going to the lowest bar and I would lose all audio until I move the volume bar for Wave back up. Now I even lose audio even with the volume bar for Wave near the top and when I toggle the bar a bit, my sound comes back. I also get mysterious voice ads that I don't see a window for so I can't close it. I'm also getting IE pop ups even though I am using Google Chrome. Finally, when I look at my task manager, I see a lot of iexplore.exe processes by SYSTEM and I am logged in as Administrator. I've ran system restore to a date before this all happens but it didn't seem to work. I currently have Symantec antivirus. I've followed the forum's window XP cleaning procedure but the problems are still there. These are my logs. Please please help!!!

    Download bootkitremover.rar and save it to your desktop.

    • You then need to extract the remover.exe file from the RAR using a program capable of extracing RAR compressed files. If you don't have an extraction program, you can use 7-Zip
    • After extracing remover.exe to your Desktop, double-click the remover.exe file to run the program.
    • Attach or post inline here, the output from remover.exe

    Hi thanks for helping! After I run remover.exe, I get
    \\.\C:->\\.\PhysicalDrive0
    MD5: 94e5e037d499bc5ff7aaa3b2e9662600

    Size Device Name MBR Status
    _________________________________
    93GB \\.\PhysicalDrive0 Unknown boot code

    Unknown boot code has been found on some of your physical disks.
    To inspect the boot code manually, dump the master boot sector:
    remover.exe dump <device_name> [output_file}
    To disinfect the master boot sector, use the following command:
    remover.exe fix <device_name>

    Press any key to quit....

    Now - please do the following:

    * Click Start, Run then copy and paste the below into the Run box and click OK.

    "%userprofile%\Desktop\remover.exe" fix \\.\PhysicalDrive0
    * Now reboot your PC and after reboot continue with the below instructions.

    Then attach the below logs:

    Hi, thanks again for helping. I've attached the log. I've had my computer on for about 30 minutes and don't seem to be getting any more of those voice ads and my audio is not dissapearing. I've turned my antivirus back on. I hope the problem is fixed; will update if the problem comes back. Should I uninstall/delete the programs I've downloaded to fix the problem such as superantispyware, malwarebytes' anti-malware, rootrepeal, and mglog? Thank you so much!!

    Just one last question. Did you install these:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\KeyAccess Offline
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\KeyAccess Audit

    In the meantime, If you are not having any other 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 real time 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 of 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.
    9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of the READ ME
        for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.

    10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

    Hi! Thanks again for helping. I think keyaccess was installed onto my computer by my school. I don't know what its for. I've also followed followed all the instructions. Thank you so much!
