    Hi folks.
    I posted another thread last night but for a different machine so please treat this one as a separate (though possibly related) issue.

    Some time yesterday I got a delivery failure report from a spam email that was sent out to some (if not all) people in my email address book. I use Thunderbird with the WebMail plugin to access a Hotmail account but I'm not sure if the spam went from here or elsewhere.

    I've run through the README and would appreciate if someone could take a look at the logs and let me know if I need to do anything further.
    During one of the scans (SAS, I believe) McAfee alerted me to the removal of Generic.dx!vje. It popped up several alerts for the same one, and several more I didn't check for detail.

    Relatively new machine.
    Windows 7 Professional (64 bit)
    Intel Xeon E5503 2GHz, 12GB RAM.
    OS installed to C: (0.5TB HDD with 373GB Free).
    The second HDD (D:) is the HDD removed from my previous machine (150GB drive with 13.5GB Free).

    I don't know if any of that is relevant since I'm not having any speed issues - but it can't hurt to include it.

    Logs attached (no RootRepeal log, obviously).

    Thanks.

    I am so sorry that I had let your post get lost to me. Thanks for the PM as a reminder. I have reviewed your logs and am not seeing any malware in them at all. :)

    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 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:
