Welcome to Major Geeks!

Had you disabled UAC and rebooted for it to take effect? Also have you disabled any protection software before trying to run MGtools? Also did you use right click and Run As Administrator?

Please try again. Also do the below no matter what the outcome with MGtools is.


Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

• Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
• Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Seven, right-mouse click it and select Run as Administrator.
• The tool will open and start scanning your system.
• Note: That JRT may reset your home page to a google default so you will need to restore your home page setting if this happens.
• Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
• On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
• Attach JRT.txt to your next message.

 

Okay then since you can run Hitman, run it again and have it file all the items it showed in your first log. Then reboot your PC.

After reboot, rerun a scan with Hitman and save a new log and attach it here.

 

You're welcome.

Look in the C:\MGtools folder. Do you see any of the below files?

newfiles.txt
nwktst.txt
runkeys.txt

 

Download and save the below to your PC in the C:\MGtools folder. Then locate the ReZip.txt file with Windows Explorer and Right Click on it and select Rename. .

ReZip.txt

Change the name to Rezip.bat

Then Right Click on it and select Run As Administrator.

It should take a couple seconds to run. You will see a black command prompt window while it is running and it should tell you that the C:\MGtools\MGlogsR.zip file as been created. Attach this ZIP file.

 

Uninstall the below old versions of software:
Java(TM) 6 Update 14

Now install the current version of Sun Java from: Sun Java Runtime Environment

Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win 7, 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.

Deletethe below folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Yontoo Layers Client

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 reboot your PC

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

Then attach the below logs:

• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

If MGlogs.zip still fails to get created, rerun the Rezip.bat program and attach the C:\MGtools\MGlogsR.zip instead

 

It's already been almost a month and things could have change a lot in that time. However, we cannot continue until you at least finish the last instructions already given.

 

You're welcome. 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 Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
3. Go back to step 4 oof the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
4. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
5. If running Vista or Win 7, 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.
6. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) 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.
7. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others) and running MGclean.bat did not remove, you can delete these files now.
8. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
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 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:
    • How to Protect yourself from malware!

 

You're welcome. Surf safely!
