Antivirus 2008 keeps recreating itself

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Based on some of the scans you said you have run, I assume you were running this:

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


If you were running that, then attach the logs from SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes and ComboFix that were requested and finish the final step with MGtools and attach that log too.


If you were not running the READ & RUN ME, you need to run it and attach the 4 requested logs (3 of which you already ran).

 

Not useful since you ran things in the wrong order. This log shows that ComboFix was run before the other scans which is not what we requested. Let's uninstall whatever you have from ComboFix right now.

• Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
• "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /u
  • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
  • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
• Delete the C:\combofix and C:\QooBox folders if they still exist.

Now continue on with the below.

Uninstall Viewpoint Media Player per step 1 of the READ & RUN ME.

Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis ( select Do a system scan only ) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {4982D40A-C53B-4615-B15B-B5B5E98D167C} - (no file)

O15 - Trusted Zone: http://update.randhi.com (HKLM)
O20 - Winlogon Notify: trattap - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\trattap32.dll

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.


Now download The Avenger by Swandog46, and save it to your Desktop.

• Extract avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop
• Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
• Do not change any check box options!!
• Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it into the Input script here: part of the window:

• Now click the Execute button.
• Click Yes to the prompt to confirm you want to execute.
• Click Yes to the Reboot now? question that will appear when Avenger finishes running.
• Your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
• A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt and it will popup for you to view when you login after reboot.

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 run Ccleaner!

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).




Then attach the below logs:

• C:\avenger.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!
