Following your instructions...here's the logs

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Why did you skip the running of SUPERAntiSpyware?

You said what your initial problems were ( and really you had more problems than this ) but you did not say what current problems you have.

Is the Spyware Doctor 7.0 you have installed a paid version? If not then uninstall it now.

Also uninstall and never use again the below which will break your PC:
RemoveIT Pro v4 - SE


Also as instructed in the READ & RUN ME, uninstall the below old versions of Sun Java:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2
Java(TM) 6 Update 7

After a reboot, now install the current version of Sun Java from: Sun Java Runtime Environment

What program are you using for AntiVirus protection. I don't see any active antivirus protection, or active antispyware protection (unless Spyware Doctor is a paid antispyware program), nor a real firewall installed.

 

Please observe proper quoting methods to make it easier to read. I fixed your last post.

Okay but you should have explained this in your first post.

Yes but I needed to know exactly what problems you have now after running the cleaning procedure which is why I asked.

Okay we will check into this.

Not malware! I suggest that you just uninstall Daemon tools for now. Any problems related to it will have to be discussed in the Software Forum.

Yes it was installed and running.

Avira or Avast. Or one of the others you will see in our How to Protect yourself from malware! sticky. But do not install one yet until we finish any clean up.

 

Now let's cleanup a few things.

I strongly advise you to cleanup your Desktop. Remove eveything but links to run programs. Do not download and save programs here and defintely do not use it for long term storage. You need to keep ComboFix.exe here for now as we need it, but we will be removing it when we are finished with your cleanup. A cluttered Desktop is malware's playground and it can also cause performance degradation especially when you start saving large files here like you are doing.


You have some Symantec left overs to remove. Please run the below then reboot. After reboot run it one more time.

Norton Removal Tool (SymNRT)


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:

O2 - BHO: Adobe PDF Reader Link Helper - {06849E9F-C8D7-4D59-B87D-784B7D6BE0B3} - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\AcroIEHelper.dll (file missing)
O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {BA52B914-B692-46c4-B683-905236F6F655} - (no file)
O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {CD67F990-D8E9-11d2-98FE-00C0F0318AFE} - (no file)

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Now we need to use ComboFix

• Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
  • If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
• Also make sure you have shut down all protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) or they may get in the way of allowing ComboFix to run properly.
• If ComboFix tells you it has expired or need to be updated to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box into it:

• Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
• At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
• You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
• Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe
• Follow the prompts.
• When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
• I will ask for this log below

Note:

Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.


Now run Ccleaner. Only use the Run Cleaner button. Do not run anything else on any other forms.

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

Then attach the below logs:

• C:\ComboFix.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

See my last message that you may have missed. There were two.

 

You're welcome.

Okay that fixed a bunch of problems, but not everything worked properly. Let's try a different fix to finish it off.


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 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.

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

Then attach the below logs:

• C:\avenger.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

Please don't use PHP. Please use quoting proberly.

No where in my fix did I ask you to install PC Tools!!!!



I'm sorry but ComboFix does not run on its own. But there is a recent bug in ComboFix causing a problem. The only way you would have this bug though is if you downloaded and ran the new version because you already ran it a couple times without a problem.


See what was requested here: Combo Fix Deleted Everything

Do not attempt to restore anything on your own. Make no more changes to your PC. Just get us the De-Quarantine file so we can make a fix. Also get the ComboFix.exe file out of the Quarantine and back onto your Desktop.

 

See the end of message # 4 where I said the below:

If this message was truly from ComboFix then it would mean you already had ComboFix running or you had run it previously and it never finished running. Either way, you had it running. It does not run on its own. It only runs when you tell it to run and it needs to finish running after a reboot to create its log. If it never finished running after a reboot, it is basically still running from the last time it was run.

The System Restore was a bad thing to do. Undoing it could be even worse. You have to try running the below now and hope that the System Restore does not mess it up.

Download the new fixed version of combofix.exe and save it to your Desktop. DO NOT RUN IT YET!!! Just make sure you have the new version downloaded and saved.

Now download this file > http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/CFDQ-UsrPrf.exe

You should be able to run it from any location but save it to your Desktop if possible. As long as Qoobox has not been tampered with, the tool shall be able to automatically do the below.

• restore all the required files/folders
• restore the perms
• set the correct attributes for desktop.ini

Now run the CFDQ-UsrPrf.exe program by double clicking on it.

• Immediately after you run it, YOU MUST NOT reboot your PC. Don't do anything else but continue on with the below..
• Now immediately run the new version of ComboFix that you saved to your Desktop earlier. This should cause a reboot of your PC after running if malware was detected and removed.
• After reboot attach the C:\combofix.txt log.
• Also please run the MGtools.exe program as specified here:Using MGtools Then attach the requesetd C:\MGlogs.zip file
• (See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post )

Now tell us how things are working.

• Do things seem to have been restored?
• What malware problems are you having?

​

 

This makes no sense. If the file does not exist, what are you renaming.

And either way I did not tell you to look for MGtools. I told you to go to the Using MGtools link and follow the instructions. Those instructions begin with downloading MGtools.exe.

What questions were you expecting?

Huh?????

Don't know what problem you are having base on your description. If MGtools.exe ran properly then a new MGlogs.zip file should have been created and you need to attach it.

If it appears that MGlogs.zip was not updated, just run C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat by double clicking on it. Then attach the new MGlogs.zip file.

 

Compress it into a ZIP file and attach that.

Unless you tell us exactly what you are referring to, we cannot comment.

 

Since it has been almost 2 months since you last posted, we need to get some updated logs to know the real status of your PC.


Go to TDSSKiller and Download TDSSKiller.zip to your Desktop

• Extract its contents to your Desktop so that you have TDSSKiller.exe directly on your Desktop and not in any subfolder of the Desktop.
• Click Start > Run and copy/paste the following bold command into Run box and hit Enter.

"%userprofile%\Desktop\TDSSKiller.exe" -v

• Follow the instructions to type in "delete" when it asks you what to do when if finds something.
• When done, a log file should be created on your C: drive named something like TDSSKiller.2.1.1_27.12.2009_14.17.04_log.txt which is based on the program version # and date and time run. Please attach this log to your next reply. (See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post )

Now download the current version of MGtools and save it to your root folder. Overwrite your previous MGtools.exe file with this one.

Run MGtools.exe ( Note: If using Vista make sure UAC is still disabled. Also don't double click on it, use right click and select Run As Administrator )

Now attach the below log:

• C:\MGlogs.zip

 

Okay we have a little more to do now. First delete you outdated copy of ComboFix.exe from your Desktop. Now download and save this version combofix.exe to your Desktop but do not run it. We will use it in a fix below.


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:

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{0B9F0C1D-4594-473D-B497-66AADC5D5F6B}: NameServer = 93.188.162.95,93.188.161.78

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 93.188.162.95,93.188.161.78

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.


Now we need to use ComboFix to remove a bunch of malware files.

• Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
  • If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
• Also make sure you have shut down all protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) or they may get in the way of allowing ComboFix to run properly.
• If ComboFix tells you it has expired or need to be updated to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box into it:

• Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
• At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
• You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
• Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe
• Follow the prompts.
• When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
• I will ask for this log below

Note:

Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

Now run Ccleaner. Only use the Run Cleaner button. Do not run anything else on any other forms.

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


Then attach the below logs:

• C:\ComboFix.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

How is everything working now?

 

Your logs are clean.


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

1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
3. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop 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\combofix" /uninstall
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
6. 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.
7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
8. 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.
9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 6 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.
10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
    • How to Protect yourself from malware!

 

What exactly did you install? You problem may revolve around the poor hardware specs of your PC

Code:

Processor x86 Family 6 Model 13 Stepping 8 GenuineIntel ~1729 Mhz 
Total Physical Memory 512.00 MB 
Available Physical Memory 71.30 MB

You have an old, slow processor and do not even have half of the absolute minimum amount of memory required to properly run current versions of Windows XP and other software you need. You need a minimum of 1 GB of memory but 2 GB is highly recommended. Also since you probably receive a bunch of new Windows Updates since it was now working, this may have had an effect of performance.

There is no fix for an old processor and speed other than a new PC.

Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer?

Download the current version of MGtools and run it as specified. Attach the new MGlogs.zip file so we can check a few things.
