    System has not been all that reliable with various alerts and strange behavior. I have run scans using Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware and only founded and cleaned up tracking cookies. However I have been receiving periodic displays such as the following:
    IntuitUpdater.exe - Corrupt File. The file or directory c:\Windows\assembly\NativeImages_v4.0.030319_32\System.Xml.Linq is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility. Problem is this Win7 x64 has a Solid State Disk drive and I have been informed by Lenovo support that you cannot run fix or recover check disk operations on a SSD. I recall have a similar alert for DivX as I am not convinced the updater program is functioning. Also encountered a pop-up dialog when after starting up that was asking me to choose a program to open a file. I was able to trace this file name to "Kevin" and was found in the directory path of: Computer > Windows7_OS (C:) > Users. When file is opened using NotePad the contents said: The given profile is not found. AVG-Free 2013 and Comodo Firewall has not detected or quarantined anything malicious. Malwarebytes did quarantine on 12/8/2012 4 files attributed to vendor PUP.RiskwareTool.CK so there has been some prior history of Malware on this computer. At this stage I would like assistance in determining if the computer is still infected, so please send me a list of instructions that I'll need to follow to disable any software before running diagnostic reports to be analyzed with recommendations on the next steps.
    Thanks, Kevin

    2/14/12 Please note: I had not intentionally duplicated this as I had no idea whether my thread had been submitted as I just found it hanging out in limbo.
    Subsequently, I have attached files for analysis as I had not done so. You may either use this 2/13/2012 Post or the below that was created today - Thank you, Kevin

    Win7 x64 logs detected Malware


    I am attaching the logs for analysis as Malware has been detected and I have followed your instructions to the T. The only exception had been I had executed MalwareBytes Anti-Malware on 2012-12-08 as it Quarantined and deleted successfully 4 files as 2 registry items where false positives. Prior to executing your Win 7 Malware Removal/Cleaning Procedure I had restored these quarantined files so your scripted steps would do another scrubbing to ensure this computer will end up entirely clean after I take the next steps of instructions you provide to me. I am pasting below the mbam-log-2012-12-08 (15-39-09).txt results for reference only as I have attached all of (5) five logs from today's 2/14/2012 scans.

    Not seeing any malware there at all. You can feel free to post in the software forum to further discuss this. ;)

    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. 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.)
      • Press and hold the Windows key [​IMG] and then press the letter R on your keyboard. This opens the Run dialog box.
      • Copy and paste 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 4 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    4. 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.
    5. If running Vista or Win 7, 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.
    6. 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.
    7. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others) and running MGclean.bat did not remove, you can delete these files now.
    8. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    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 6 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:

    Thanks. Can you inform me how I transfer this posting from Malware to Software forum?

    If those logs had no Malware in them at all, then your opinion is that Malware has not caused the error dialog on the below link:

    Why would the CCleaner program be linked to DivX being corrupt and unreadable?

    I'm also having problems defragmenting the Registry using System Mechanic Professional, however this feature seems to work in CCleaner.

    No, I don't think it is malware related.
