malware shuts down all programs every 10 sec.

editerguy · Nov 23, 2008

A new malware tactic, at least for me. Every 10 secs. everything shuts down--desktop icons and taskbar disappear, programs reset. If I'm fast enough to start a program it runs, but: HJT runs, but then shuts down before I can look at or save results. Avira antivirus cleaned several trojans--Vundo.37888, Dropper.gen, Qhost.kpm, Patched.ck.6, Qhost.kpm, Tiny.705, Drop.Btlo.EF, Agent.cure--but gets stuck on TR/Fakealert.ANE. Same thing in SAFE mode, 10 seconds of yes, then shutdown. I'm getting amazingly good at running through menus and Start buttons in 10 seconds, but I think I've done all I can do without your help. Help!

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Please follow the instructions in the below link 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.

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

Notes:

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

If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and 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.
