    Symantec continues to find Hacktool.Rootkit on my PC. Supposedly gets rid of them, but they keep coming back. I have a feeling I have a ton of "stuff" running in my processes that doesn't belong.

    Help is greatly appreciated.

    Just a few thing to deal with.

    First, I see you downloaded combo, did it not run or did you just forget to attach the log?

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

    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 use windows explorer to find and delete:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Administrator.exe
    C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\oashdihasidhasuidhiasdhiashdiuasdhasd
    C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\\nah_loes.exe
    C:\xghwaaw.txt
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\1054b.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\2419045765.dat
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\exswvqra.sys

    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file.

    Thanks for the help Tim. I'm attaching the new logs.

    Some of the items you told me to delete weren't there anymore. I'm assuming previous Malware scans have deleted them. They seem to come back under new names though.

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

    1. We recommed you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no real time protection. They are useful as backup scanners. 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" /u
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.

      • Delete the C:\combofix folder from combofix (if it exists)

    3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    4. 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.
    5. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    6. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
    7. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.

    8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
