    Can someone help wit this.

    Tried to run RootRepeal but to no avail.

    It said there was an error Invalid PE Image found.

    I click Files and then Scan and it just hangs - left it for hours!

    Thank you very much.

    I am not seeing any remaining malware in your logs. I do, however, suggest you use a startup manager:

    Startup_CPL

    Tell me what malware issues you may still be having, if any.

    Hi there,

    Actually 2 web sites I have were rendered inaccessible due to iframe ftp attacks. My web hosts removed malware from the server and recommended I remove all malware stuff from my computer.

    Haven't specifically seen any problems with my machine though.

    Thanks

    Problems like this are really more of a vulnerability issue and not truly malware. How people write their website code, how old/unupdated the software they write it with, and how secure the servers that host it are really the areas to look at. Issues here are commonly referred to as code injection ( see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_injection ) The things we do in this forum are not going to find problems in your code. None of these malware scanners will since they are not design for this purpose.

    You are going to need to have a very good webpage developer check the code for security issues and you need to verify that all software being used has been updated to include all security patches. In addition, you need to make sure that the server hosting the website also has been fully updated.

    Also since you stated it has been previously hacked, you should attempt to find out how it was hacked last time so you can verify that they security issues have been resolved.

    Otherwise, your system appears to be 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 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:
