    Hey everyone, I've never registered, but have always come here for help. It's about time I registered.

    I have fixed many computers in my day for friends and family since I am the resident geek around here. I offered to help fix a comp for someone and I am completely and utterly stumped.

    Whatever virus or virus' it has, has done horrors. AVG has been disabled, any program that can remove virus' or malware has been disabled, the DVD drive has been disabled along with being un-usable, no programs can start, nothing can be installed, any usb drive that is connected is automatically infected with trojans and more. I have tried everything, but I am out of ideas. Can anyone please help me? I am at the point where I am going to take out the hd and reformat it. Thank you guys very much in advance.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!


    Please follow the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST link given futher down and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

    • If you have problems where no tools seem to run, please try following the steps given in the below and then continue on no matter what you find. You only need to try the TDSSserv steps if having problems getting scans in the Read & Run Me First.
    • 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


    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 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:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes and Spybot ( 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. To avoid addtional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advise 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.
