Big Malware Problem

Georgos · Mar 25, 2010

Well, it looks like I got hit by some challenging malware that Im unable to get rid of on my own.

I tried following the instructions to remove it as best as I could but its preventing me from making as much use as i can from the protection tools mentioned. i cant install MalwareBytes or any of the other programs. I cant open internet explorer. i cant access minimized windows by normal means (I can do it through Task Manager). I cant move files anywhere. I cant use paste. Windows loads so slowly. I cant install with Windows Installer. I cant run Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. I cant even use the apostrophe key! The registry is definitely corrupted. I tried fixing heaps of errors through some special registry programs but problems persist. And now no more Taskbar. Its gone. (Pressing the apostrophe key turns the Find feature on Mozilla.)

The best I can do (according to the instructions) is provide with MGTools logs (with Hijackthis also).

If theres anything I can do to help you help me out here, then let me know. Thank you in advance for your time.

Sorry! Nevermind!

I fixed it all with Combofix. Sorry for the time wasting.

How did you "fix it" with combofix? By simply giving it a run and it made deletions of malware? If so why did you not run Combofix BEFORE MGTools as requested. There's a reason why we like steps to be run in order.

If you are sure that you are clean now, then fair enough, but if you still continue to have problems, then I wish to see a log from combofix, and then also you should see if you can run SAS and MBAM, and then finally, you can run MGTools.

Attach all logs and we will see what's going on, if anything.
