started with Win.Rootkit.bat :(

Welcome to Major Geeks!

You need to attach the 4th log we requested which is from running MGtools. The log file is C:\MGlogs.zip

HOWEVER, before running MGtools you need to run MSconfig and put your PC into normal startup mode as requested in step 1 of the READ & RUN ME. If you already ran MGtools then put your PC into normal startup mode, reboot, and then run MGtools again. Then attach the log.

 

Until you do what was requested in step 1 of the READ & RUN ME and what I requested in my last message, we cannot continue. The below is an exact quote from step 1:

After you do this you will have to attach a new log from MGtools again. Do not attach a new log unless you have done the above. Also note that we specifically requested that you download and run MGtools from C:\ and you put it here:

C:\Documents and Settings\Dan\My Documents\programs\spy remover\from Major geeks\MGtools.exe

 

Now we need to use ComboFix again.

• 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.
• Also make sure you have shut down all protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) or they may get in the way of allowing ComboFix to run properly.
• 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 to clean out only temp files and nothing else!

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!

 

You're welcome.

This is a topic for the Software Forum, but first check to make sure you have your incoming and outgoing mail servers setup properly and that you are not blocking anything with a firewall.

Was discusses in step 1 of the READ & RUN ME and also in this current thread in msg # 5 where I gave you this link: Dealing with Startup Processes

Your logs are clean.

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommend 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.
3. 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)
5. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
6. 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.
7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
8. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
9. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures in step 3 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:
    • How to Protect yourself from malware!

 

You're welcome. Surf safely!
