Antivirus XP virus on computer

Welcome to Major Geeks!

No!! It will be deleted. Please read the sticky threads. You need to do the below.


Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions. If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

 

You did not attach the requested log from ComboFix. Did you have a problem running it? Based on what I see on your Desktop you did not rename it properly.

 

What problem? You need to be specific.

Yes it is but you named it like below which is a quote from your logs:

Notice the two exe file extensions. This probably happened because you did not follow the step in the READ ME to enable viewing of hidden files and also extensions. It should be enabled now though because running MGtools will force those changes to be completed.

Rename it properly and then try running it again. Also if it does not run in normal boot mode, try safe boot mode. It would be good if you get this to run since we need the log to check for other problems and also it is useful in cleaning up additional malware I see that is still on your PC. Don't forget the instructions for running ComboFix did say you have to shutdown other protection programs. Kaspersky may be getting in your way of running ComboFix. Too bad it did not get in the way of the malware being installed in the first place which is what it should be doing.

 

I decide to continue on with your malware removal using another tool but I would still like to see a ComboFix log if you can get it to run.


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:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [C:\WINDOWS\system32\kdvxi.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\kdvxi.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Windows Update Service] C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe
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.

Then attach the below logs:

• C:\avenger.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You forgot to tell me how things are working. Your logs are clean but since you ran ComboFix after doing my fix you will need to rerun just the step for adding the fixME.reg patch to the registry again.

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. You can uninstall SUPERAntiSpyware now.
2. We recommed you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware as a scanner. It uses no resources except a little disk space until you run a scan.
4. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop & renamed it 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\combo-fix" /u
     • Notes: The space between the cf" 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:\cf folder from combofix.
5. If we had you run Avenger, you can delete all files related to Avenger now.
6. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
7. If running Vista, 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.
8. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
9. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
10. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
    • Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
    • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
11. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
