AVs detecting tmp viruses, keep recreating themselves.

    It started about one or one and a half weeks ago, i'm not quite sure but it's around that.
    I'm using BitDefender Total Security 2013 as my Antivirus for a while now, and suddenly it detected a couple of viruses in the temp folders. I scanned my PC with BitDefender and also Ad-Aware (i was told later it's not good to have both so i now removed Ad-aware), and both found many viruses in the temp folders. I used CCleaner to try and get rid of the tmp files, but it kept on getting stuck at 28% when it got to the temp files, so i had to do that in safe mode (it worked that way). I scanned everyday since then, but the problem doesn't seem to disappear. The temp files keep on recreating themselves and i get notifications from BitDefender about having viruses all the time. It has gotten worse today, i tried using CCleaner again earlier, and i found out i have 5.3 GB's of tmp files.
    Then i found a post in this forum, and i was redirected from there to the READ ME post, so I've gone through all stages in hope of fixing it.
    After i was done, i waited for about 40 to 60 minutes, and i suddenly had some more notifications from my AV about viruses.
    I've attached the logs, and i hope you guys can help me solve the problem. I can format only C:\ where my windows is installed and where the virus seems to be coming from, but i want to try other things before that.
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Actually your logs show that you have no antivirus at all installed at the moment.

    Can you attach a log that shows exactly what files are being detected? I have a feeling it may just be files from one of games or other programs that you run. You do have some junkware to remove and we will do that below. Also I have to warn you about downloading and using things like below which are common cause of either junkware, adware, or malware.

    • Return to OTM, right click in the Paste List of Files/Folders to Move window (under the yellow bar
      ) and choose Paste.
    • Now click the large http://forums.majorgeeks.com/chaslang/images/MoveIt!.png button.
    • If OTM asks to reboot your computer, allow it to do so. The report should appear in Notepad after the reboot.
    • Close OTM.
    Now navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder ( assuming your Windows drive is C). This is where your log will be
    saved in the form of Date and Time mmddyyyy_hhmmss.log. Just look for the most recent .log file. Attach
    this log file to your next message.


    Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.
    • Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
    • Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Seven, right-mouse click it and select Run as Administrator.
    • The tool will open and start scanning your system.
    • Note: That JRT may reset your home page to a google default so you will need to restore your home page setting if this happens.
    • Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
    • On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
    • Attach JRT.txt to your next message.
    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:
    • the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles log
    • the JRT.txt log
    • C:\MGlogs.zip
    Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

    Thanks for the reply.
    I don't know why it appears i don't have an antivirus, as i checked my installed programs and BitDefender is showed there.
    Also, i couldn't find BitDefender's logs files so i just took a picture of what i see in the virus actions window. I have about 100 or plus of the same messages.
    I didn't get any notification for a virus detected since yesterday, so maybe it's alright now, i will wait and hopefully in the meantime you can find something in the logs.

    You're welcome.
    Okay it shows now in the new logs. I believe it did not show previously due to an admin permissions type problem when first running MGtools.exe. But now that you ran it from GetLogs.bat last time, all is good.

    Yes perhaps because youre logs are clean. So it had either been fixed or this could be a false detection of some temp file being created by software you run.


    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
    2. Go back to step 4 oof the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    3. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
    4. 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.
    5. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) 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.
    6. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    7. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 6 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.
    8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
