Virus Maybe? File Association Wipe...

Hi there and welcome. I am currently reviewing your logs and will get back to you with a set of instructions in the next post I make to you.

 

Uninstall the below if you did not deliberately install it yourself.

• WinPcap 4.0.2

Now download LSP - Fix

Run LSP-Fix.

Check the Box labeled "I know what I'm doing" and then click on the cewrynub.dll file (in the “Keep” section) to select it.

Then, Select the >> button to move cewrynub.dll into the Remove section.

Now, click the Finish Button. When the Repair Summary box appears, click OK.
If it is already in the Remove section, just click Finish.

Now we need to use ComboFix

• Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
  • If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
• Also make sure you have shut down all protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) or they may get in the way of allowing ComboFix to run properly.
• If ComboFix tells you it needs to update to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box. Ensure you scroll down to select ALL the lines:

Code:

KILLALL::

DirLook::
c:\program files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DRM
c:\program files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared
C:\WINDOWS\{52CD4715-C7FD-4197-9423-88C14C834450}
C:\WINDOWS\{7F7635FC-B887-49FA-8526-094724C01A6E}
File::
c:\program files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DRM\83b62a06.dll
c:\windows\system32\cewrynub.dll

• Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
• At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
• You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
• Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe
  
  
  
  
• Follow the prompts.
• When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
• I will ask for this log below

Note:

Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.


Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this.

Let us know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions and also let me know how things are running now.

 

Try this in both safe mode and normal mode:

Run the C:\MGtools\FixFA.bat by double clicking on it.

Has this done anything to help your file association problem>?

 

So from this:

To this?

As long as only the above is wrong, and not what you originally told me, then I think you would be better off posting for advice in the software forum.

Yes, Doug Knox scripts, familiar with those. I just thought we would use a method already installed into MGTools.

 

You shouldn't bump, as it will only delay my response to you.

Your logs look clean to me, I removed what I did not like, c:\windows\system32\cewrynub.dll was the problem. Any outstanding issues you have do not sound malware related to me, so yes, go ahead and post in the software forum.

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:
