Computer malware Readme Followed

Welcome to MajorGeeks, Augustin_FL

Please open RogueKiller again and run a scan. After it finishes the scan, select the Registry tab and then select any of the below that exist and then click the Delete button.

Then immediately reboot your PC.

Now please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

• Make sure to shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
• Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Seven, right-mouse click it and select Run as Administrator.
• The tool will open and start scanning your system.
• Note: That JRT may reset your home page to a google default so you will need to restore your home page setting if this happens.
• Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
• On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
• Attach JRT.txt to your next message.

Next download AdwCleaner by Xplode and save to your Desktop.

• Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool.
  Vista/Windows 7/8 users right-click and select Run As Administrator
• Click on the Scan button.
• AdwCleaner will begin...be patient as the scan may take some time to complete.
• When it's done you'll see: Pending: Please uncheck elements you don't want removed.
• Now click on the Report button...a logfile (AdwCleaner[R#].txt) will open in Notepad for review (where the largest value of # represents the most recent report).
• Look over the log especially under Files/Folders for any program you want to save.
• If there's a program you may want to save, just uncheck it from AdwCleaner.
• If you're not sure, post the log for review. (all items found are either adware/spyware/foistware)
• If you're ready to clean it all up.....click the Clean button.
• After rebooting, a logfile report (AdwCleaner[S0].txt) will open automatically.
• Attach that logfile to your next reply.
• A copy of all logfiles are saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder which are created when running the tool.

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, Win7 or Win8, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

Then attach the below logs:

• the JRT.TXT log
• C:\MGlogs.zip
• AdwCleaner[S#].txt

How things are working now?

 

Hello, Augustin_FL

*Some material for you - http://www.pcworld.com/article/2101...in-microsofts-emet-antiexploitation-tool.html

Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win 7, 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:

• O2 - BHO: AdvanceElite - {3b2cb4c8-72ab-4b25-8fa1-219b36a60bed} - C:\Program Files (x86)\AdvanceElite\AdvanceElitebho.dll
• O23 - Service: Update AdvanceElite - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files (x86)\AdvanceElite\updateAdvanceElite.

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Using "Programs & Features" uninstall: (If you do not find it or it will not uninstall, just keep going.)
AdvanceElite
MiPony 2.0.2

Please download OTM by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.

• Run OTM.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, Win7 or Win8, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).
• Copy the lines from the below codebox to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C
  (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose Copy): Do not include the word Code: which is just a title line of
  the code box

Code:

:Services
Update AdvanceElite
:Files
C:\Program Files (x86)\AdvanceElite\updateAdvanceElite.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\AdvanceElite
C:\Program Files (x86)\MiPony
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\*.*
C:\Users\Jeff\AppData\Local\Temp\*.*
:Commands
[purity]
[EmptyTemp]
[start explorer]
[Reboot]

• Return to OTM, right click in the Paste List of Files/Folders to Move window (under the yellow bar) and choose Paste.
• Now click the large http://forums.majorgeeks.com/chaslang/images/MoveIt!.png button.
• If OTM asks to reboot your computer, allow it to do so. The report should appear in Notepad after the reboot.
• Close OTM.

Now navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder ( assuming your Windows drive is C). This is where your log will be
saved in the form of Date and Time mmddyyyy_hhmmss.log. Just look for the most recent .log file. Attach
this log file to your next message.

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, Win7 or Win8, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

Then attach the below logs:

• the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles log
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You're welcome.

Yes, some value since v5.0 has been released. *Note that the only browser it protects is Internet Explorer. You might want to see what Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit has to offer.

Let's do this:
Reset Chrome to Defaults

Any improvement?

 

What was done to explain why Google Chrome isn't showing in your Uninstall Listing?

Please download this and let me know if it shows and try to "Force Removal" if necessary:

GeekUninstaller 1.3.1.38.
*Also check to see if Google Update Helper is found and can be uninstalled.

Now you need to make sure that the folders from Chrome are deleted! I suggest that the below be deleted ( if they still exist ) and this must be done before ever reinstalling Chrome:
C:\Users\Jeff\AppData\Local\Google
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google

Download SystemLook from one of the links below and save it to your Desktop.
Download Mirror #1
Download Mirror #2

• Double-click SystemLook.exe to run it.
• Copy the content of the following codebox into the main textfield:
  
  Code:

  :filefind
  *Chrome
  :folderfind
  *Chrome
  :regfind
  *Chrome

• Click the Look button to start the scan.
• When finished, a notepad window will open with the results of the scan. Please post this log in your next reply.

Note: The log can also be found on your Desktop entitled SystemLook.txt

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.

Code:

[b]Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\AppDataLow\{1146AC44-2F03-4431-B4FD-889BC837521F}]
[-HKU\S-1-5-18\Software\AppDataLow\{1146AC44-2F03-4431-B4FD-889BC837521F}][/b]

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.

Please attach the SystemLook.txt to your next reply.

 

1. Advice already given on EMET
2. RK shows nothing malicious
3. Forewarned about anti-virus appls giving false detections on malware speciality tools
4. Nothing needing attention in HitmanPro log.

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

1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase it, it provide no protection. It do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
2. Go back to step 6 of the READ ME and re-enable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
4. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
5. If running Vista, Win 7/8 - it is time to make sure you have re-enabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
6. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
7. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
8. If you are running Win 7/8, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of the READ ME
     for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
   • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
