Your choice wham... I'm just going off what the logs told me:

So if you are using the Windows Firewall, What are you currently using for antivirus?

No.


Download and run OTM.

Download OTM by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.

• Right-click OTM.exe And select " Run as administrator " to run it.
• Paste the following code under the area. Do not include the word Code.

Code:

:Files

C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\rundll32.exe

[Reboot]

• Return to OTM, right click in the Paste List of Files/Folders to Move window (under the yellow bar) and choose Paste.
• Push the large button.
• OTM may ask to reboot the machine. Please do so if asked.
• Copy everything in the Results window (under the green bar), and paste it in your next reply.

NOTE: If you are unable to copy/paste from this window (as will be the case if the machine was rebooted), open Notepad (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Notepad), click File->Open, in the File Name box enter *.log and press the Enter key, navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder, and open the newest .log file present, and attach the contents of that document back here in your next post.


Now re run RogueKiller again, and attach log.

 

When you right click it and open file location, where does it reside?

 

Could you please get this: rundll32.exe into a zipped file and attach it for me in your next post? To do this, see the below:

Please go to start > Run and paste in the following:

log retrievable @ C:\collect.zip

 

That's fine. I'm starting to believe what RogueKiller is showing, all those rundll32.exe files, are not actually there. I'll follow up with another post in a moment.

 

That's fine. I'm starting to believe what RogueKiller is showing, all those rundll32.exe files, are not actually there. I'll follow up with another post in a moment. I think that's what entries appended with an [x] means.

 

Please download SystemLook

Double-click SystemLook.exe to run it.
Copy the content of the following codebox into the main textfield:

Code:

:filefind
rundll32.exe

Click the Look button to start the scan.
When finished, a notepad window will open with the results of the scan. Please post this log in your next reply.
Note: The log can also be found on your Desktop entitled SystemLook.txt

 

Whatever is causing those entries to show in the RK log is not malware I'm certain of it now. You can see for yourself from the results of the systemlook log that the places RK says the rundll32.exe exists is not true. We have nothing to be concerned about.

 

Correct. I found out something to confirm this too, from another thread on another forum. Can you try using Revo Uninstaller to find it and remove it?

 

Delete the below files from the root folder and those may go away.

C:\rundll32.exe
C:\shimgvw.dll


These showed in the newfiles.txt log from MGtools

 

Those other entries are just fine. Ready for final steps?


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.
2. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
   
6. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
   
   
7. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
