    Thanks so much for this site. I have a computer that I've been working on for a few days. It was initially horrible, unresponsive and severely infected. I've read the "read me" thread, and have been able to complete everything in steps 1 and 2. In step 3 I have installed and run
    Ad-Aware (it was already installed on my computer)
    Spybot
    Malewarebytes
    Combofix
    I could not download MGTools
    After combofix I didn't have an internet connection, so I ran winsockxpfix and am now able to connect. After following your directions as completely as I can, my computer runs like a dream. Between all of the tools, including AVG, there were almost a hundred infections detected, including AV2009, vundo, various trojans, etc. However, AVG is still detecting multiple rustock infections and trojans. I'm at a standstill, and don't know exactly what to do next. I will attach the logs from AVG, Malewarebytes and Combofix. I can also run a HT log if it would be helpful. Thanks again, without this forum I would have never even known where to start.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Not part of the READ & RUN ME and it is not useful.


    Why not? You need to be more specific. There should be no reason for not being able to download this. Make sure when you login to Major Geeks that you check the Remember Me box.

    You also need to attach the requested log from the first scan we asked you to run which is SUPERAntiSpyware.

    Many of your system files and also replacements for them on your hard disk have become infected. When AVG8 said it removed winlogon.exe, it was one of the infected system files. I doubt it removed this file though because you would not be able to login to windows anymore if it did. You need should update AVG to any current definitions that are available and then reboot into safe mode and then run a FULL system scan.

    Do you have a bootable copy of your Windows XP CD? You may be needing it if we need to manually fix files or to reinstall and also you will need it to do the below.

    In the meantime click Start, Run, and enter sfc /scannow and click OK. There is a space after the sfc. This runs System Rile Checker which looks for missing or corrupted system files and attempts to replace/repair them from files on your hard disk or from the CD if necessary. So it will ask for the Windows CD if it needs it.
