    I recently noticed my computer was downloading and uploading an excessive amount of data. I live out in the boonies in Texas and us is using a satellite service for internet so I only have 15 gig per month in data allowance.
    I'm using a win 8 platform. I followed the instructions of how to to remove
    malware and is now sending you the log files from the scans I did.
    Hope you can help me.

    Thanks

    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win 7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

    Now uninstall the below programs. If you do not find them or they will not uninstall, just keep going.

    • Close OTM.
    Now navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder ( assuming your Windows drive is C). This is where your log will be
    saved in the form of Date and Time mmddyyyy_hhmmss.log. Just look for the most recent .log file. Attach
    this log file to your next message.


    Now please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

    • Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
    • On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
    • Attach JRT.txt to your next message.
    Now run the below procedure the reset Firefox:

    Reset Firefox to Defaults


    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, Win7 or Win8, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).



    Then attach the below logs:
    • the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles log

    • C:\MGlogs.zip
    Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

    Hi,
    I ran all the scans as you directed exept I forgot deleting the AVG Safeguard tool bar but deleted it at the end. I then connected the computer to the internet again and opened up a browser in firefox which gave me google search
    page. I then checked the up and download packets. It quickly got up to 130.600 sending and 3,853.000 receiving and kept going until I closed it down.
    I'm sending you the logs you requested.
    Hope we can sort this out.

    Thanks

    Jimmy

    You mean you uninstalled it AFTER you attached logs? :confused Your latest logs show the below still installed...

    AVG SafeGuard toolbar


    Can you re run Hitman Pro (just a scan) and attach log.
    Same for RogueKiller please.

    I have a feeling that any excessive packets uploading/downloading may just be due to software you are running. You are running online backup programs and possibly other software that could be adding to this. See programs like:

    Norton Online Backup
    Skydrive
    Skype
    Sage\Peachtree


    But note that 130.600 sending and 3,853.000 receiving are not very many packets!!! Are you misusing the period and comma.

    There was only one program (Norton) that was set on auto update so I don't think that's the problem. I opened up windows explorer and it downloaded
    3.800.000 ( 3 million 800.000) packets in 30 seconds and it just kept on downloading. All my other computers only downloaded a few thousand packs and then it stopped when I did the same test.
    I deleted the AVG toolbar after I attached the logs.
    I was online for about 20 minutes tonight after I ran Hitman pro and Roguekiller and it downloaded over 16 million packs using
    windows explorer. Is that normal?

    Thanks for your help

    I'm not referring to the update part. I'm referring to the online backup.

    We use commas in the USA to represent the thousands markers. Thus 3,800,000 and ( 3 million 800,000 ). This is why I was confused by your decimal points instead of commas.

    Windows Explorer does not download anything so I assume you really meant Internet Explorer? Where are you seeing your packet counts or are you looking at the bytes counter in the Network Connections Properties?

    Not if you are not running anything, but as noted, you have an online backup program and other things they may be accessing the internet.
