Hello, last night i was scanning my other laptop and i found a number of things of which were removed easily with spybot S&D then i rescanned to confirm and then i keep getting a 3 entries of malware (in registry keys) of WinID, i manually removed them through regedit and got them all, i then rescanned and it removes the other 2 entries apart from one which is in HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\WinID i have went to this registry source and it isnt actually there so im wondering where it has went i have manually went through 100% of my computer through all folders etc, I have also used the search app and it cant find anything, or to do with the antispyware bot (the name of the program its connected to) this folder isnt even in my program files, i have got show hidden folders/files on, i have lost my internet connection on one of the computers went through IE, Mozilla aswell and it just says im working offline i have tryed a lot of networking diagnostic tests and Nothing seems to be working, i am wondering if anyone else has had such problems if so and you have found a solution please reply ASAP =]]] thank you very much.

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Please follow the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST link given futher down and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

If you have problems where no tools seem to run, please try following the steps given in the below and then continue on no matter what you find. You only need to try the TDSSserv steps if having problems getting scans in the Read & Run Me First.

TDSSserv Non-Plug & Play Driver Disable

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.

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

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, Malwarebytes and Spybot ( 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.

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.
