Oh and one more log I want to see is from MGtools. I'm suspecting you may have an infected partition on your hard disk.

Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the C:\MGlogs.zip file.

Using MGtools

 

I was correct. You have an infected partition that needs to be removed. This will require the created of a special CD containing G-parted.

• Please download: gparted-live ( approx 121 MB)
• Create a bootable CD for GParted.
• You can use ImgBurn to accomplish this.
  • If you need help on how to use ImgBurn, please view the below guide by dr.m
    • Using ImageBurn to Burn an ISO image

Now boot off of the newly created GParted CD.

No! It is not a DVD. You need to burn this bootable CD. You have to boot your PC from it. You cannot run this from Windows as it will not work.

 

Okay that looks better. The infected partition is gone. Are you still having problems?

 

Nope! You are good to go.





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:
