    Hello,
    I'm not too clear on what sort of malware I could have, but I read through the READ & RUN ME FIRST thread and a couple of other threads that seemed to have the same symptoms I had. From what I gather I think I have the "Virtumonde" and "Win32.Agent.pz" bugs, but I'm not too sure. I also downloaded the FixIEDef and Smitfraud programs and ran them. I continually get a buffer overflow notification from my McAfee virus-scan and as such it causes the computer to lock up. Along with that is the continual ad pop-ups that occur when I'm not even connected to the internet.

    Thank you so much in advance!

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    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.

    Thank you, chaslang!

    I followed the instructions and the problem stopped when I used Spybot but I'm still concerned whether or not my computer is infected. Combofix didn't exactly work properly and as such I don't have logs for it, but I was still wondering if anyone could take a look to see if my computer is completely free? Sorry for taking up your time! Thanks in advance!

    Please see step 1 of the READ & RUN ME where it specifies that you must be in Normal Startup mode using MSconfig. You need to do this right now.

    You also did not uninstall the below which was also requested in step 1 of the READ & RUN ME:
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 7
    Viewpoint Media Player

    Please uninstall the above now.

    For your issue with ComboFix did you shut down McAfee as requested in the instructions for using ComboFix?

    After doing all of the above (including trying ComboFix again with McAfee disabled) you need to attach a new MGlogs.zip file by doing the below.


    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file
