Have a virus

Who asked you to run ComboFix on Oct 17th? I see the below file in your root folder:

Code:

combofix.txt  Oct 17 2009       15307  "ComboFix.txt"

You should not be running this just for the heck of it. You should only be running when you have real malware problems and then you should be attaching your logs for someone to look at.


Who created the below folder?
C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner.YOUR-F78BF48CE2\Desktop\Virus Removal Tool



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 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.

Please download and run Win32kDiag per the below instructions:

• Download this Win32kDiag and save to C:\Win32kDiag.exe. You must save it here!!!!
• Click on Start->Run, and copy-paste the following command (the bolded text) into the "Open" box, and click OK. When it's finished, there will be a log called Win32kDiag.txt on your desktop. Please attach this log

C:\win32kdiag.exe -f -r


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:\avenger.txt
• the log from Win32kDiag
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You did not answer the first two questions I asked nor the last at the end of the procedure.

You need to run Win32kDiag as requested and attach the log.

Also since you ran Malwarebytes, you need to attach the log from it.


Are you still having problems?

 

It's a little hard to accidently download the executable and then run it. ComboFix is not something that should be kept on your PC and it should only be run as requested.



Now download Junction,zip to your Windows folder

• Please download Junction.zip and save it to your Windows folder (i.e, C:\Windows\Junction.zip This assumes C:\ is your Windows boot drive.)
• Now unzip it and put junction.exeinto the Windows folder (i.e., C:\Windows\junction.exe)
• Do not try to run it right now. We will run something that uses it later.

Now we need to reset the permissions altered by the malware on some files.

• Download and save inhertit.exe to your Desktop: Inherit.exe
• It must be in your Desktop or the below fix will not work!

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

• A command prompt window opens and also a license agreement from SysInternals will appear for Junction.
• Accept the license agreement and the scan will begin.
• Wait until it finishes we can take a while to run since it scans your whole harddisk. e patient and don't do anything else while it is scanning.
• The command prompt window should close when it finishes.
• While this is running, you will get several/many popups that have a title Finish and say OK. Just click the OK button each time. This is an indication that it has found a file and has attempted to fix permissions. Depending on how many files that need to be fixed, you could get only a few or many of these popups.

Now see if you can run SUPERAntiSpyware as requested in the READ & RUN ME.

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:

• the SUPERAntiSpyware log if it ran
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are 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 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:
