    Logs will be attached. I can't connect to malwarebytes, so I can't run it. I can't go to microsoft.com either.

    Also, SuperAnitSpyware said that all files were clear, and offered no log.

    You have a Conficker infection. Most likely cause is due to the fact that you have not updated Windows XP. You still have the very outdated SP1 and are missing many security fixes. Also you do not have any protection installed. WHY???

    I'll post a first fix in a few minutes. In the meantime, please run the below.

    Download TDSSKiller from Kaspersky to your directly onto your Desktop
    • Now double click the TDSSkiller.exe file to run it ( if using Vista or Windows 7 do not double click on it but rather, right click and select Run As Administrartor. )
    • If TDSSKiller does not run, try renaming it. To do this, right-click on TDSSKiller.exe, select Rename and give it a random name with the .com file extension (i.e. 123tdk.com).
    • Allow the application to run if prompted by Windows or any security programs you have installed
    • It will start the scan and run rather quickly and will notify you of whether anything is found or not.
    • Follow the instructions to delete/quarantine if asks you what to do when if finds something.
    • Whether an infection is found or not, a log file should be created on your C: drive ( or whatever drive you boot from) in the root folder named something like TDSSKiller.2.1.1_27.12.2009_14.17.04_log.txt which is based on the program version # and date and time run. Please attach this log to your next reply. (See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post )

    What are the below folders from?
    C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Myuuzakk
    c:\documents and settings\Delbenz

    I strongly recommend that you uninstall the below junk immediately. I will give you something much bette down below.
    Freedom Security & Privacy
    Freedom

    Click Start, Run, and enter sfc /scannow and click OK. There is a space after the sfc. This runs System File Checker which looks for missing or corrupted system files and attempts to replace/repair them from files on your hard disk or from the CD if necessary. So it will ask for the Windows CD if it needs it.

    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win 7, 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,ProxyOverride = 127.0.0.1
    O9 - Extra button: Related - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm
    O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Show &Related Links - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.


    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.

      [*]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.
    • If ComboFix tells you it has expired or need to be updated to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
    • 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.

    If after running Combofix you discover none of your programs will open up because you recieve the following error: Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion then you will need to reboot your computer which will normally fix this problem.

    Now download and install AntiVir Personal Edition - includes antispyware, anti-rootkit and more.

    Also download and install Comodo Personal Firewall
    WARNINGS:
    • Ask Toolbar may be installed by default but you can uncheck this during the install or uninstall it anytime afterwards if you decide you do not want this feature later.
    • Comodo also has an antivirus, make sure that you only install the firewall since we already installed Avira above.
    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:\ComboFix.txt
    • C:\MGlogs.zip
    Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

    I did have protection, but it was terrible. It just let more viruses in, and didn't even tell me. I ended up having to restore, which brought the current infection back. I'll be sure to get something better this time.

    Also, I can't follow the link.

    See my fix I just posted before your reply. It includes removing Zero Knowledge, whose name says it all, and installing the real protection.

    No Idea what they're from, but I'm pretty sure that Delbenz is just the folder for another user on the PC.

    anyhow, I followed the steps, log attached, and it seems that the virus is gone. I will install everything once I reinstall .net framework, and get the XP service packs, allowing me to actually install the programs.

    on second thought, I was installing all of the service packs, .net framework, and all that, then the virus appears to be back.

    One restart later, everything seems to be in order. Anyhow, I have the AV and Firewall installed successfully.

    You need to attach the new MGlogs.zip file I requested. GetLogs.bat should have been run after installing the AV and firewall and this will created a new MGlogs.zip file.

    Take a look at all the MP3 and WMA files in the Myuuzakk folder. Are you still sure it is unknown? Did you just make a play on words and call it Myuuzakk instead of MyMusic?

    that could've easily been it, with the oddly spelled music folder. I'm not the only one who uses this computer.

    anyhow... the current log that you requested is attached here. It is named differently, because a file of the same name has been used already in this thread.

    chaslang MajorGeeks Admin - Master Malware Expert Staff Member

    Not attached and it is not necessary to rename it. Nor do we want you to do that. You need to rerun the scan using the GetLogs.bat program to create a new MGlogs.zip file and then you can attach it. You cannot attach the same log file with the same contents you previously had because there would be no reason to do so.

    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.
    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" /uninstall
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
    3. Go back to step 6 oof the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    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. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders
      related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of 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:
