Halt in malware process

Just attach the logs that you can get.

 

I am not seeing any malware in your logs, but I want you to run one more scan.

Be aware that your system will be sluggish:

Download OTL to your desktop.

• Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
• Vista and Windows 7 users Right-click OTL and choose Run as Administrator)
• When the window appears, underneath Output at the top change it to Minimal Output.
• Check the boxes beside LOP Check and Purity Check.
• Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.

When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.

Attach both of these logs into your next reply.

 

You can go to crucial.com and let them scan your system to see how much RAM it will take. I am not seeing any malware, but we can remove a few things:

Double-click OTL.exe to start the program.

• Copy and Paste the following code into the Custom Scans/Fixes textbox. Do not include the word Code

Code:

:processes
:otl
:files
@Alternate Data Stream - 131 bytes -> G:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TEMP:0B4227B4
@Alternate Data Stream - 116 bytes -> G:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TEMP:D1B5B4F1
@Alternate Data Stream - 110 bytes -> G:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TEMP:DFC5A2B2
:commands
[PURITY]
[EMPTYTEMP]
[RESETHOSTS]
[REBOOT]

• Then click the Run Fix button at the top.
• Click the OK button.
• OTL may ask to reboot the machine. Please do so if asked.
• The report should appear in Notepad after the reboot. Just close notepad and attach this log form OTL to your next message.

You may wish to post in the software forum for assistance with your sluggish performance:

A slow computer is not always due to malware:

Please explain in your software post what operations are slow! For example answer the below:

* Is boot up slow?
* Is shutdown slow?
* Is browsing/surfing slow?
* Is downloading slow?
* Is running any application?
* Is it also slow in safe boot mode?
* Also are any process showing in Task Manager to be using a lot of CPU time?
* Anything else slow?

Since you are not having any 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.We recommend them for doing backup scans when you suspect a malware infection.
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:
