Stupid Agent.Dropper.DGO crap.

Yet, yet another person who is dealing with it.

I looked at other topics on this, but they didn't all seem to apply.

I attached my HiJackThis log.

Hopefully, somebody can help me.

 

No sound after vundo/dropper.agent.dgo removal

I followed the steps on here, and eventually used HiJackThis and all and got rid of it... But now I don't have any sound in Windows.

I am cross-posting this to the hardware forum because I'm not sure which is belongs in more.

Windows Media Player and a few other programs all have sound, but the actual sound in windows doesn't work. Videos don't have sound in explorer, opening a window/folder makes no noise, etc. Also, I use a recording program called n-track, and it tells me me that it cannot use MME buffering and that I do not have a soundcard installed... Or that the one I have installed cannot handle hardware buffering. But, the thing is, it did that quite fine in the past.

Re: No sound after vundo/dropper.agent.dgo removal

I used the Malware removal guide, and when I used HJT, I got rid of the VQSTQ.EXE, as suggested in another topic here.

I had already used AVG to clean my system before that, and by the time I had run CCleaner and Combofix, AVG had nothing to find.

I should also note that S&D did not work for me. It kept telling me that it could note download updates and it could not run without them.

I have re-installed the sound drivers on my system and that has not helped.

Anyway, I included the logs.

 

I may have found the problem. Combofix quarantined "msacm32.drv" which, according to a quick google search is a sound-mapper driver.
