    Hi,

    I Had a problem with malware which I may have successfully removed but I am not an expert at this so I am not 100 percent sure.

    I have attached all the logs as per the procedure outlined on this forum.

    I had to attach the rootrepeal txt file in the mglogs zip file as you may only upload 4 attachments here.

    I just need to be reassured that it is safe now. Browsing is back to normal and everything seems fine and dandy. Even IE is seems fast but I do not use that as the default browser.

    Only problem I encountered was rootrepeal not scanning my secondary drive D, but it scanned C. I had checked both to be scanned before scanning but only C was scanned.

    Thank you for taking your time to help us.

    Sincerely,

    Shem.

    Hello, SHEM

    Please configure MSconfig to "Normal Startup Mode" and no longer use it to control your startups. Refer to Step 4: Configuration & Setup of the R&R ME FIRST guide for further explanation.


    I see no remaining malware, your logs look good! 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 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 re-enable 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 re-enabled 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 through the below link:
