Looking for a little help!!!!

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Proper cleaning procedures are given below. These are what you should be running first especially if having malware problems or it you want to know if you are clean. What you ran is inadequate.

Please read ALL of this message including the notes before doing anything.

Please follow the instructions in the below link:

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide



and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

• **** If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. ****
• Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not. MGtools will frequently run even when all other tools will not.

• After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!

Helpful Notes:

1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
   
   • Starting your computer in Safe mode
2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
3. If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes while logged into this other user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account. If you can then run SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ComboFix and MGtools on the infected account as requested in the instructions.
4. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:
   • Don't Bump! It Only Hurts You!!!

Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.
​

 

You need to continue on as stated at the beginning of the READ & RUN ME.

 

Please attach the below log from SUPERAntiSpyware that we requested

Code:

"C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\SUPERAntiSpyware.com\SUPERAntiSpyware\Logs\"
Mar 8 2011 2733 "SUPERAntiSpyware Scan Log - 03-08-2011 - 23-47-53.log"

Also download TDSSKiller from Kaspersky to your directly onto your Desktop

• Now double click the TDSSkiller.exe file to run it ( if using Vista or Windows 7 do not double click on it but rather, right click and select Run As Administrartor. )
• If TDSSKiller does not run, try renaming it. To do this, right-click on TDSSKiller.exe, select Rename and give it a random name with the .com file extension (i.e. 123tdk.com).
  • If you do not see the file extension, please refer to: How to view hidden, system files & folders!
• Allow the application to run if prompted by Windows or any security programs you have installed
• It will start the scan and run rather quickly and will notify you of whether anything is found or not.
• Follow the instructions to delete/quarantine if asks you what to do when if finds something.
• Whether an infection is found or not, a log file should be created on your C: drive ( or whatever drive you boot from) in the root folder named something like TDSSKiller.2.1.1_27.12.2009_14.17.04_log.txt which is based on the program version # and date and time run. Please attach this log to your next reply. (See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post )

 

Thus far, things are looking clean other than the Google hijacker that ComboFix removed. I have another scan I want you to run though.



Please also download MBRCheck to your desktop

• Double click MBRCheck.exe to run (vista and Win 7 right click and select Run as Administrator)
• It will show a Black screen with some information that will contain either the below line if no problem is found:
  • Done! Press ENTER to exit...
• Or you will see more information like below if a problem is found:
  • Found non-standard or infected MBR.
  • Enter 'Y' and hit ENTER for more options, or 'N' to exit:
• Either way, just choose to exit the program at this point since we want to see only the scan results to begin with.
• MBRCheck will create a log named similar to MBRCheck_07.16.10_00.32.33.txt which is random based on date and time.
• Attach this log to your next message. (See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post )

You do need to do the below though as requested early in the READ & RUN ME steps.

Uninstall the below old Java versions:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
Java(TM) 6 Update 18

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

 

Your Windows boot drive could have an MBR infection. The log shows

Do you have all your personal data on drive C backed up? You should do this before doing the below. If the fails to fix the MBR ( which does happen quite often) you will need your Windows XP boot CD to run fixmbr from the Recovery Console. Do you have your CD?



Now if you wish to continue and fix the malware - please do the following:

• Run MBRCheck.exe
• Wait until you see the following lines:
  • Enter 'Y' and hit ENTER for more options, or 'N' to exit:
  • Options:
    [1] Dump the MBR of a physical disk to file.
    [2] Restore the MBR of a physical disk with a standard boot code.
    [3] Exit.
    Enter your choice:

• Please push the 'Y' key and then press Enter
• When the program asks you to Enter your choice: enter 2 to Rstore the MBR and press the Enter key
• Now the program will ask you to "Enter the physical disk number to fix (0-99, -1 to cancel):"
  • Enter 0 and press the Enter key.
• The program will show Available MBR codes as below

• You need to select your version of Windows frrom the list. For example, enter 0 or 1 for XP or enter 3 for Vista.....etc. and then press Enter.
• The program will prompt for confirmation. Type 'YES' and hit Enter.
• Left click on the title bar (where program name and path is written). From menu chose Edit -> Select All
• You will see all the text in the window get highlighted.
• Hit the Enter key on your keyboard to copy all of the text into the clipboard.
• Paste that text into Notepad, save it to your desktop as MBRfix.txt
• Restart your PC.
• Attach the MBRfix.txt file to your next message..
