MGTools logs, Combofix gives alert and deletes itself

Niteskyy · Jun 30, 2009

I have ran everything. Malwarebytes, AVG, superAntispyware, ccleaner, combofix refuses to install/run. Gives the alert as if a rootkit is trying to attach itself to combofix. Thanks for the help and time!

What is the exact message that combo is giving you. As it may be alerting you to the new virut infection that may require you to save your data and personal info and reformat.

Plus you need to attach the other logs.

Alert it is not safe to continue.

Note: You may be infected with the file patching virus "virut"

Is it apsolutly impossible to remove this virus???

It infects system files and moves on to other exe files. Even if we could fix the files we can find with the scans, others may still exist and your system would not be trustworthy.

The safest thing for you to do is backup your personal data immediately since your PC could possible become unbootable at any point in time. Do not back up any executable files. This includes programs that you have downloaded since any of them could be infected.

Once you backup, you need to perform a total reinstall of Windows and all other necessary software. DO NOT reinstall from any executable files you backed up because they are most likely infected.
