frenetic malware blitzkrieg

Try running our malware removal procedures in safe mode.

 

Have you tried renaming the tools? Rename combofix.exe to 123.com and MGTools.exe to kestrel.com. Try running them again. Let me know how you get on?

 

I would still like to see the log from it regardless.

Running from: c:\documents and settings\Bob Heil\My Documents\security software\anti-malware\ComboFix\123.com <--- Combofix is meant to be directly on the desktop. Please move it there before we continue and ALSO rename it now back to combofix.exe or else final steps will not work.

If you did not deliberately set this proxy yourself then please include it in the HJT fix below:

Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

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:

After clicking Fix exit HJT.

Or maybe combofix solved your problem, but in my opinion uninstalling mcafee was no bad thing. LOL

You will need to use the removal tool to be rid of all traces:

Please download the McAfee Consumer Product Removal Tool

Run this > Reboot your machine > and Run it again to get rid of remnants of McAfee.

I trust all is well now?

 

How have my instructions "blown up" this machine? I didn't do anything.

Reboot into safe mode. What's the sketch there?

You friend may have OTHER problems that are not caused by malware. And do not just assume that just because this has happened, that it is my fault.

 

Please re-run ComboFix and attach that new log.

Then 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

 

Your logs are clean. What issues are you having, if any?

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 real time protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
2. 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.
     
     
   
   
3. Go back to step 6 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
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 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.
   
   
10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

No problem. Safe surfing!

 

You should really have started a new thread instead of piggy backing off this old one! These logs are clean anyway.

Why are you using a version of MGTools that is over 2 months out of date?

Important Notice: A new version of SUPERAntiSpyware is available.

• Please uninstall your current version (this is necessary).
• Then download this SUPERAntiSpyware
• Install this new version. It may tell you that you need to reboot to complete the installation. You must reboot at this time.
• After the reboot, run SUPERAntiSpyware and immediately click the Check for Updates button to get more updates for the database.
• Now run a new full scan of your system. And attach this log later.

Did you indeed take action with what MBAM found??

 

On behalf of Kes and myself, you are most welcome. Safe surfing.
