I want you to run TDSSKiller so refer to the below for how to do so.

TDSSkiller - How to run

Then continue on with the below.

Please read ALL of this message including the notes before doing anything.

Pleases follow the instructions in the below link:

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

• **** 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. MGtools will frequently run even when all other tools 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:
   
   • Starting your computer in Safe mode
2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes ( 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:
   • Don't Bump! It Only Hurts You!!!

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.
​

 

Yes, you need to continue on following my other instructions which I linked you! Attach all of the requested logs once finished.

 

What are all these files, related to symantec doing in program files folder? You do not have anything symantec installed so get rid of them to tidy up?

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:\~   

RegLock::
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\*9 *]
"Asynchronous"=dword:00000001
"DllName"="Service Pack 3"
"Impersonate"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Startup"="WlStartupEvent"
"Logon"="WlLogonEvent"

File::
C:\Documents and Settings\chris\Local Settings\Application Data\48us8w3f1to16xul6toc58xy324vsb8o1vj8118lxm1s
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\48us8w3f1to16xul6toc58xy324vsb8o1vj8118lxm1s
C:\Documents and Settings\chris\Templates\48us8w3f1to16xul6toc58xy324vsb8o1vj8118lxm1s

• 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.

If after running Combofix you discover none of your programs will open up, and you recieve the following error: "Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion". Then the answer is to REBOOT the machine, and all will be corrected.

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. (Right click and run as admin if using Vista or Windows7) Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this.

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

 

The are not all from Symantec. Some are from McAfee and they both are likely due to running some form of online scanners.

Note to agiosotheos, you cannot see the files in C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files with Windows Explorer. You need to use the command prompt or another specialty file listing tool to see these hidden files and folders. They are protected from view in Windows Explorer.

 

That's correct. This is a special folder in Windows and the files do not show unless viewed as I stated from the command prompt or using other programs that do not have the same restrictions as Windows Explorer. For example, you could install and use the below and you will see the files there:

ExplorerXP

 

They are not malware, so you really don't need to worry about them. They are just files you don't need. They were put here due to running some form of online scan from McAfee. If you deleted the files and then went to the online site to run the scans again, they would just redownload the files.

 

Attach the logs which were asked for in post # 7 please?

 

You need to complete all the steps in post number 7!

 

Don't see how or why that would be. I get the same amount of information in each anyway. Nothing different. :confused


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!

• 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:\documents and settings\chris\WINDOWS

Driver::
cusbohcn  

File::
c:\docume~1\chris\LOCALS~1\Temp\cusbohcn.sys

• 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

Please also download MBRCheck to your desktop

• Double click MBRCheck.exe to run (vista and Win 7 right click and select Run as Administrator)
• It will show a Black screen with some information that will contain either the below line if no problem is found:
  • Done! Press ENTER to exit...
• Or you will see more information like below if a problem is found:
  • Found non-standard or infected MBR.
  • Enter 'Y' and hit ENTER for more options, or 'N' to exit:
• Either way, just choose to exit the program at this point since we want to see only the scan results to begin with.
• MBRCheck will create a log named similar to MBRCheck_07.16.10_00.32.33.txt which is random based on date and time.
• Attach this log to your next message. (See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post )

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. (Right click and run as admin if using Vista or Windows7) Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this.

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

 

Not the way you did before. Just follow the instructions as they are written.

 

Those logs look good. Delete this file:

C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Local Settings\Application Data\48us8w3f1to16xul6toc58xy324vsb8o1vj8118lxm1s

Tell me what problems remain.
