Kryptic Trojan?

    (I'm new to all this so please bear with me)

    About two days ago, my ESET notified me of a "Kryptik Trojan", I decided just to quarantine it and clean it later, moments afterwards, my PC froze up and then tons of windows started popping up stating that there was a "security breach" of some sort and that I needed to download some "Anti-Virus", so I restarted my computer normally and everything from icons(excluding the Recycle Bin) to the background was gone, there was nothing pinned to the Taskbar nor the Start Menu, even the files in All Programs said empty, so I decided to restart again in Safe Mode, (which thankfully showed that everything was still in place). I've read the READ & RUN, removed ESET(because I had ESET and AVG[Not such a good choice now knowing that I had to uninstall it]) and ran all the programs mentioned in the Vista/7 Cleaning Procedures.

    While there have been some slight improvements in my PC's health, I'm still concerned that there's still something lingering about, especially considering that whenever I disable my antivirus(which is now the Trial MBAM Protection) the PC freezes.

    (The only issue I've had with the READ & RUN is that I couldn't disable my antivirus for RootRepeal or any of the other scans without my PC freezing.)

    Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!
    Malwarebytes is not an antivirus program!


    Please do the below so that we can boot to System Recovery Options to run a scan.

    For x32 (x86) bit systems download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to a flash drive.
    For x64 bit systems download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool x64 and save it to a flash drive.

    Plug the flashdrive into the infected PC.


    Enter System Recovery Options from the Advanced Boot Options:
    • Restart the computer.
    • As soon as the BIOS is loaded begin tapping the F8 key until Advanced Boot Options appears.
    • Use the arrow keys to select the Repair your computer menu item.
    • Select US as the keyboard language settings, and then click Next.
    • Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    • Select your user account an click Next.
    On the System Recovery Options menu you will get the following options:
    • Select Command Prompt
    • In the command window type in notepad and press Enter.
    • The notepad opens. Under File menu select Open.
    • Select "Computer" and find your flash drive letter and close the notepad.
    • In the command window type e:\frst.exe (for x64 bit version type e:\frst64) and press Enter
      Note: Replace letter e with the drive letter of your flash drive.
    • The tool will start to run.
    • When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
    • Press Scan button.
    • It will make a log (FRST.txt) on the flash drive. Please attach this file to your next reply. (See: How to attach)

    Please download and save the below to your Desktop or anywhere else you can find it ( if the Desktop is not showing )

    http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/unhide.exe

    Now run it ( if you are running Vista or Win 7, use right click and select Run As Administrator ). Did that help with your missing items?

    Are you having any other malware problems?

    Nope, no more problems, everything is back to where it's supposed to be, thank you.

    You're welcome.



    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 or Win 7, 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:
