    Looks like I picked up a nasty infection a few days ago. At one point, the computer restarted and when I tried to login it said my account was disabled. I tried to boot into safe mode but got the blue screen of death, twice. I restarted the computer again and had the option to go into an Administrator account (in normal mode), with the normal account I use, "geenski" nowhere to be found. I ran a system restore for two days ago and when that restarted my computer, the old "geenski" profile existed and I was able to log in. My AVG Antivirus seems to have been disabled and I could not run it or re-install it. When I tried to run SuperAntispyware I got the following error: "C:\Program Files\SUPERAntispyware\SUPERAntispyware.exe is not a valid Win32 application." When I tried to run Combo fix I got the same error message as SAS. All other logs are attached.
    Thank You!

    Went to that Sticky but it seems the link to download FindyKill returns a "404-Not Found" error. I even tried it on a clean machine. I've seen threads that say to not download from anywhere but the given link. Please advise.
    Thank you!

    I have run the 'Clean' function in FindyKill and attached the log. Once Windows came up, I got the error message stating that I do not have an Antivirus installed. I had originally uninstalled AVG to try to reinstall it so I don't have one running. Before I ran FindyKill, the processor was bouncing between 60% and 100% even when nothing was running. Now it seems to be running at 0%-3% when nothing is running. I tried to run SAS and I still get the error message I was getting before though. Cleaning log attached.
    Thanks!

    Okay that fixed quite a lot. Now let's continue.


    Please follow the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST link given futher down and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
    • If you have problems where no tools seem to run, please try following the steps given in the below and then continue on no matter what you find. You only need to try the TDSSserv steps if having problems getting scans in the Read & Run Me First. If TDSSserv is not found, just continue on with the READ & RUN ME.
    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide
    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.

    • After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!
    Helpful Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes and Spybot ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
    3. If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes while logged into this other user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account. If you can then run SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ComboFix and MGtools on the infected account as requested in the instructions.
    4. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:
    Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.

    I'm not having any issues with the computer and it seems like none of the programs found anything. Please check out the attached logs and let me know.

    You're welcome. Your logs are clean. Now you need to get your PC properly protected. You have no protection installed. This is covered in my final instructions below.

    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 protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
    2. If we used Pocket Killbox during your cleanup, do the below
      • Run Pocket Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups
    3. 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" /u
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
    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 Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures in step 3 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:
