Vundo woes

Welcome to Major Geeks!

You really should read ALL the stickies in the forum. Especially the below one:

Don't Bump! It Only Hurts You!!!

All the additional posts are bumps and the last one alone cost you a few days of additional waiting time.


I suggest that you uninstall FireFox and Chrome and then reboot your PC. Then after reboot delete the Mozilla Firefox folder and all folders related to Chrome.

Please attach the below logs from SAS and MBAM which obviously show more info than the ones you attached. This is why the READ & RUN ME requests to only run scans once and attach the logs. We need to see what is initially found.

Code:

 
"C:\Users\z\AppData\Roaming\SUPERAntiSpyware.com\SUPERAntiSpyware\Logs\"
supera~1.log  10 Dec 2008       55432  "SUPERAntiSpyware Scan Log - 12-10-2008 - 04-22-04.log"
supera~2.log  10 Dec 2008       52095  "SUPERAntiSpyware Scan Log - 12-10-2008 - 19-05-49.log"
 
"C:\Users\z\AppData\Roaming\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\"
mbam-l~1.txt  10 Dec 2008        1401  "mbam-log-2008-12-10 (19-33-05).txt"
mbam-l~3.txt  11 Dec 2008        1138  "mbam-log-2008-12-11 (07-07-45).txt" 

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.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box into it:

• 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.


Now run Ccleaner!

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

Then attach the below logs:

• C:\ComboFix.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

If everything is working OK, you can reinstall FireFox and Chrome.

 

Yes you can. Just attach the files that I listed. They are still on your PC.

Run this procedure: Resetting Registry and File Permissions Make sure you reboot as instructed.

Afer reboot, run SUPERAntiSpyware and first check for updates. Then run a new scan and attach the new log.
Then reboot and run another scan with SUPERAniSpyware to see if it comes back clean or still has detections.

What is the below new folder?

Code:

2008-12-12 21:32 . 2008-12-15 22:05 <DIR> d-------- c:\users\z\{6652914d-ae8f-4a9b-8ac9-3a15eae386ed}

 

No! They are still there as I already stated. It does not overwrite the logs. Each time they run, a new log is created using the current date and time stamp.



If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps which should also address your concerns about protection:

1. We recommed you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
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.)
   • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
   • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /u
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
   • Delete the C:\combofix folder from combofix (if it exists)
3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
4. If running Vista, 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.
5. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
6. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
7. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
   • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
