    Hi, my brother's computer has the AV Protection virus. I've joined several forums to try and get help, they have all stopped responding. I'm been using my computer (what I'm on now) to look up support. The problem was so bad, I couldn't even boot to desktop, even in safe mode. I could get as far as the welcome screen, type in the password, the computer would wait awhile, then say 'User log on failed to execute' or something along those lines. Because I can't get on the desktop, I can't run any malware removal program.s Before, when I COULD get to the desktop, I would try to and the programs would stop running, or the computer would restart continuously. I followed the steps from one forum to boot from CD to reatogo desktop. I used OTL to make custom scans, using my USB drive to copy the instructions the forum gave me for the scan from my computer to his. Their last instructions had me do a scan and then if it worked I was supposed to use combo fix, but I don't think the scan worked. Can someone help me?

    Then you need to remain in your thread at Bleeping computer and ask them! ;) Multiple posting like this is frowned upon. You need to post the OTL log that JSntgRvr is requesting.

    I have decided to re-open your thread here. For multiple posting across different forums, you have been "locked out" of getting from those people. As I explained, it is very much frowned upon because we are all volunteers, and our time is precious. It does also very much confuse things for both you as the user and for us as helpers. It's also always easy to see if someone is multiple posting even if they change their forum username.

    If you are still able to, you must make a post in the threads you have at TSG and BC to say you are now recieving help from one single source.

    If you would like assistance from us then you need to follow these instructions.

    Do not include logs for anything that was not requested to be run.


    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:
    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:
    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.
