Can't Remove All Malware

Welcome to Major Geeks!

We don't want them to be run in safe mode anyway, so try running them in normal boot mode which is what we want.

The DNS infection you had is known to infect router hardware. If you have a router hooked up then you need to follow the instructions for your hardware and reset it to factory default settings. Normally there is a recessed push button type switch that needs to be held down for some number of seconds to do this. After resetting to factory defaults on your router, you will need to reconfigure the router for your network if you have made any changes to the default network setup.

Do you have any disk emulation software running like Daemon Tools? We did request that this be disabled in step 6 of the READ & RUN ME. Your logs are showing signs of a possible Master Boot Record infection. If you did not disable disk emulation, it could be just a false detection but we will not know until you do this. If you did disable it then it may be a real infection or it could be that Daemon Tools did not disable it and we may need to forcefully delete it since it seems to never be able to be uninstalled properly ( poorly designed ).

Uninstall the below old versions of software:
Java(TM) 6 Update 20

Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:5643
O2 - BHO: McAfee Phishing Filter - {27B4851A-3207-45A2-B947-BE8AFE6163AB} - (no file)

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Now copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixme.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.

Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above
to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it definitely did not work.


Now download The Avenger by Swandog46, and save it to your Desktop.

• Extract avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop
• Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
• Do not change any check box options!!
• Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it into the Input script here: part of the window:

• Now click the Execute button.
• Click Yes to the prompt to confirm you want to execute.
• Click Yes to the Reboot now? question that will appear when Avenger finishes running.
• Your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
• A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt and it will popup for you to view when you login after reboot.

After reboot, now install the current version of Sun Java from: Sun Java Runtime Environment
Now run Ccleaner. Only use the Run Cleaner button. Do not run anything else on any other forms.

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

Then attach the below logs:

• C:\avenger.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

I will see if I can provide a fix.

You need to be much more specific and describe exactly what happens when you try to run them. Also you need to make sure you shutdown both Avira and Zonealarm before trying to run them. I'm not sure why you say you cannot run Malwarebytes when your logs from MGtools show that you have run it multiple times:

Code:

"C:\Users\Deeds\AppData\Roaming\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\"
Jul 31 2010   920  "mbam-log-2010-07-31 (16-03-33).txt"
Jul 31 2010   893  "mbam-log-2010-07-31 (20-05-11).txt"
Jul 24 2010  3069  "mbam-log-2010-07-24 (12-22-03).txt"
Jul 29 2010  1140  "mbam-log-2010-07-29 (13-33-51).txt"
Jul 30 2010  1179  "mbam-log-2010-07-30 (22-14-33).txt"
Jul 31 2010   895  "mbam-log-2010-07-31 (12-46-14).txt"

This is due to some program you are loading at startup not malware. Possibly the below:

O4 - Global Startup: Digital Line Detect.lnk = C:\Program Files\Digital Line Detect\DLG.exe



Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixme.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.

When you said you reset the router, what exactly do you mean. If you just meant a power cycle/reboot, that is not what I was suggesting.

What browsers get redirected? Test more than one.

Please attach the logs I listed so I can see what was found in those scans.

See if SUPERAntispyware can repair it. Run it and click Preferences and then the Repairs tab. Then scroll down to Repair broken SafeBoot key and select it then click Perform Repair ...

If that does not work you will have to post about this in the Software Forum as you may need to run a repair on Windows itself.

Okay I misunderstood your message since you did not post everything that is in the popup. You left off some key info especially the fact that it is Auto Detect (analog input) which means you have a hardware issue between your PC and your monitor.
The analog input is the VGA input. If the signal cannot be found by your monitor you will see this message. Since it does work later, it seems to just be taken some length of time before the signal is being found. You will need to post about this in the Hardware Forum or just live with it. If you do a google search on that message, you will see that lots of Dell PC owners have seen this message.
