    I deleted a malware from my computer, now I can not connect to the internet. Neither wired or wireless. I also can not do a system restore. I have done the windsock repair which also didn't fix the problem. Please help.

    These removal tools cleaned my computer, but I am still unable to connect to the internet.it is still saying "acquiring network address." But never does. I will attach the logs first thing in the morning because I can not do it from my phone. Thank you for your help.

    * 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 needs to update to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
    * Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below code box into it (make sure you scroll all the way down in the code box to get all lines selected ):
    Code:
    KILLALL::
    
    Driver::
    qttuwjmt
    tbisu
    
    File::
    c:\windows\system32\drivers\dkqhdyc.sys
    c:\windows\system32\drivers\jmkl.sys
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\7b5ba836
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\Templates\gh5ce1p7661ra3rw3pxjmu207810366086ds8
    
    
    * 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.
    If it asks you to overide the previous file with the same name, click YES.
    * Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe
    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/sUBs/CFScriptB-4.gif
    * 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.

    Note: If after running Combofix you discover none of your programs will open up, and you recieve the following error: "Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion". Then the answer is to REBOOT the machine, and all will be corrected.

    Your network log indicates this:
    Code:
       AFD Networking Support Environment -AFD- is NOT running  
       Dynamic Host Control Protocol -DHCP- is NOT running
    I want you to go here and see if you can either download the FIXIT tool to run on your system or do the manual repairs indicated:
    How to determine and to recover from Winsock2 corruption in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, and in Windows Vista

    Download OTL to your desktop.


    • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
    • Vista and Windows 7 users Right-click OTL and choose Run as Administrator)
    • When the window appears, underneath Output at the top change it to Minimal Output.
    • Check the boxes beside LOP Check and Purity Check.
    • Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.


    When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.

    Attach both of these logs into your next reply. As well as the Log from ComboFix.

    Go to device manager, while I look over the logs, click on View and click on show hidden devices. Expand Non-Plug and play drivers and right click on Ancilliary Function Driver for winsock. Click properties and under the driver tag, make sure it is started.

    Then go to run / services.msc and make sure the DHCP service is started. Let me know what you find. You may need to reboot.

    Did you first try to start the AFD service in device manager?

    I didnt see the one specifically called that. I checked all the drivers and they were started.

    TimW MajorGeeks Administrator - Jedi Malware Expert Staff Member

    Did you open device manager and click on View? Then click on Show Hidden devices. Under Non-plug and play the first one should be:Ancilliary Function Driver for winsock. Click properties and under the driver tag, make sure it is started.

    Then go to run / services.msc and make sure the DHCP service is started. Let me know what you find. You may need to reboot.

    System File checker. I will have to get back to you regarding the missing device.

    I ran the scan twice with the disc. It hits certain points where it tells me to add the disc even though it is in. I click retry and it proceeds. It still is having the same problem and the AFD is still missing.

    Crap. Please download the latest version of MGtools and save it to your root folder. Overwrite your previous MGtools.exe file with this one. Run the exe and attach the new log. It will have some new logs that may be of help.

    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 reboot your PC.

    After reboot, 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:\MGlogs.zip
    Can you connect to the internet now?

    Okay AFD now has at least an appearance in the registry but does not seem to have started. Does AFD now show in Device Manager under the Non-Plug and Play Devices where TimW had you look earlier? Does it show as started?
     
  36. mm2108

    mm2108 Private E-2

    It is there,, but stopped. When I tried to start it, it said: Yhe system encountered the following error while attempting to start the service. The system cannot find the file specified.

    Copy the below file:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\afd.sys

    Into the below folder;

    C:\Windows\system32\drivers


    If you can get it copied there, reboot your PC and check that it still is in the drivers folder after reboot. If it is, then check Device Manager again and also rerun GetLogs.bat and attach a new log. See if you can connect too.

    This appears to be the wrong version file but hopefully it is good enough to get started.

    It stayed in the folder. It is also showing an IP address now (which it didn't) and showing connected, but it is still not connecting to the internet.

    Okay we are making some progress. Let me continue to look at your logs this evening. I have to run out in a little while though. Be back later.

    But this is a wireless connect.... right? Can you try hardwiring to see what happens?

    By the way, uninstall SUPERAntiSpyware which you have installed improperly to the below location:

    C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\major\SASCORE.EXE

    It should not be install here.

    I see left overs from McAfee and AVG too. Are either of these still installed?
     
  41. mm2108

    mm2108 Private E-2

    I plugged in the internet. It still didn't connect. I do not have McAfee installed and I uninstalled AVG when I installed combofix.

    Hi I will try to help you while chaslang is away.

    I have attached a .zip file to this post.

    Inside of it is a file:
    • fixme.bat

    Extract this to your desktop and run it by double-clicking it.
    Test your internet connection now... and attach the logfile on your desktop it created:
    • fixme_results.txt
