hijacked possibly

Welcome to Major Geeks!

You need to attach the logs from Hitman Pro and TDSSkiller that were requested.

You also need to rerun Malwarebytes and this time allow it to fix what it detected. You log shows you took no action.

This does not mean this computer is infected. Information could have been compromised if you ever used any other PC to access your bank account or email account. Also could be intercepted via improperly protected wireless connections.

When did it freeze? How long did you wait? It could take 15 to 20 minutes to finish running. Did you run it properly??? For example did you do all of the following:

1. Shutdown protection software first
2. Disable UAC
3. Use Right Click and Select Run As Administrator to run MGtools.exe

 

You should not be running HijackThis or anything else unless we ask you to do so. The below is a quote from the READ & RUN ME. See the last bullet item

Uninstall the below junkware:

Iminent

Then rerun Malwarebytes and see if it still detects any of this Iminent stuff. If it does, make sure that you select all the items and allow them to be fixed. Then save the log after fixing and attach the new log.


Are you having any current malware problems?

Do you know what the below items are as seen in RogueKiller?
[RUN][SUSP PATH] HKCU\[...]\Run : Starfield Updater ("C:\Users\johnson\AppData\Local\Workspace\WorkspaceUpdate.exe" [7]) -> FOUND
[RUN][SUSP PATH] HKCU\[...]\Run : Workspace Status ("C:\Users\johnson\AppData\Local\Workspace\workspacestatus.exe" [7]) -> FOUND
[RUN][SUSP PATH] HKUS\S-1-5-21-4223917168-3260533592-693802220-1001\[...]\Run : Starfield Updater ("C:\Users\johnson\AppData\Local\Workspace\WorkspaceUpdate.exe" [7]) -> FOUND
[RUN][SUSP PATH] HKUS\S-1-5-21-4223917168-3260533592-693802220-1001\[...]\Run : Workspace Status ("C:\Users\johnson\AppData\Local\Workspace\workspacestatus.exe" [7]) -> FOUND

 

Hmmmm! Did you not read my last message with the instructions about not doing anything we do not request?

I did not ask you to run Roguekiller, AswMBR, TDSSKiller, or MGtools again.

I did ask what those items in RogueKiller were and I also asked if you were having any malware problems. I also asked you to run Malwarebytes and fix anything it finds and attach the new log from it.

It is there. Do the below to remove it.


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.

 

That means you did not create the file properly. There can be no blank lines or anything else above the Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 line

 

Are you loading it into notepad to save it or are you using a different program?

Rename your fixme.reg file to fixme.txt and attach it to your next message for me to look at at. You cannot attach files with the .reg extension which is why I'm asking you to rename it first.

 

Take a look at the file you posted and compare it to what I gave you.

You have asteriks in the file. You have extra line feeds and you have ---End Quote--- text in it. That is not what was in my fix. You need to make the file look exactly like what I gave you. The below is what you have which is not what I gave you.

 

Excellent.

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.
3. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
4. 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.
5. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, 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.
6. Now 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.
7. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others) and running MGclean.bat did not remove them, you can delete these files now.
8. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
9. If you are running Win 8, Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below to flush restore points:
   • Refer to the instructions for your WIndows version in this link: Disable And Enable System Restore​
   • What we want you to do is to first disable System Restore to flush restore points some of which could be infected.
   • Then we want you to Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
    • How to Protect yourself from malware!

 

You're welcome. Surf safely!
