Hi
Trying to recover from root virus - I think catchme. When using regsearch I get the following result. Does this mean these documents are infected : If so can they be cleaned?
regards

Regsearch.exe :-

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Please read ALL of this message including the notes before doing anything.

Pleases follow the instructions in the below link:

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

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. MGtools will frequently run even when all other tools will not.

After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!

Helpful Notes:

If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:

Starting your computer in Safe mode

If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.

If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes while logged into this other user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account. If you can then run SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ComboFix and MGtools on the infected account as requested in the instructions.

To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:

Don't Bump! It Only Hurts You!!!

Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.

You forgot to attach logs from both MBAM and SAS. Please do so now as I go through the rest of your logs.

edit: I see you didn't attach them as you were asked but instead included them in the zipped file inside a log called majorgeeks.txt.

Catchme is not a problem, it is just part of gmer/combofix and other tools.

catchme is the rootkit/stealth malware scanner that scans for:

hidden processes
hidden registry keys
hidden services
hidden files
catchme can also delete, destroy and collect malicious files.

Your logs are clean, but what exactly are you using for an antivirus right now?

I am seeing remnants from symantec:

c:\documents and settings\snapper\Local Settings\Application Data\Symantec_Corporation
c:\documents and settings\snapper\Application Data\Symantec
c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec

Hi
Many thanx - I knew I had a 'dropper' - rootkit virus and traced as much as I could and searching the net and reading various threads I assumed it was associated with 'catchme'.
Various .doc files will not load saying they are corrupt and using regsearch I again made an assumption of associating this with 'catchme'. Obviously wrongly.
The symantec was Norton Ghost which I also assumed was part of the problem and have now removed.

once again many thanks for your help

regards
