Need some help

Welcome to MajorGeeks!

First - let's update some of your tools:

1) You are out of date with your version of SUPERAntiSpyware.

• Please uninstall your current version (this is necessary).
• Then download this SUPERAntiSpyware
• Install this new version. It may tell you that you need to reboot to complete the installation. You must reboot at this time.
• After the reboot, run SUPERAntiSpyware and immediately click the Check for Updates button to get more updates for the database.
• Now run a new full scan of your system. And attach this new log.

2) As ComboFix is now available - use the below link for installing and running it.

Windows XP Cleaning Procedure

3) Now go to this link MGTools and download the new version of MGtools....overwrite your previous MGtools.exe file with this one.

Then run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

Please attach the below logs to your next reply:

• updated SAS.log
• C:\combofix.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Once you have attached the new logs, I will get back to you with a set of instructions as soon as possible. Our queue is working the oldest threads first.

Thanks for your patience.

The below fixes and advice are specific to this member's problem and should be used for issue(s) on this machine only.

Hello KujoWolf, please do not install any other software while we are still working with you unless instructed. Once we have given you the all clean and final instructions you will be free to install what you want.

Comment: I see that you do have a ComboFix log from running it on Dec. 17th - attach it to your next reply.

Step 1:
Please download and run Win32kDiag per the below instructions:

• Download this Win32kDiag and save to C:\Win32kDiag.exe. You must save it here!!!!
• Click on Start->Run, and copy-paste the following command (the bolded text) into the "Open" box, and click OK.
  
  C:\win32kdiag.exe -f -r
  
  
• When it's finished, there will be a log called Win32kDiag.txt on your desktop. Please attach this log.

Step 2:
Now download Junction,zip to your Windows folder

• Please download Junction.zip and save it to your Windows folder (i.e, C:\Windows\Junction.zip This assumes C:\ is your Windows boot drive.)
• Now unzip it and put junction.exe into the Windows folder (i.e., C:\Windows\junction.exe)
• Do not try to run it right now. We will run something that uses it later.

Step 3:
Now we need to reset the permissions altered by the malware on some files.

• Download and save inherit.exe to your Desktop: Inherit.exe
• It must be in your Desktop or the below fix will not work!

Now run the C:\MGtools\FixPerm.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

• A command prompt window opens and also a license agreement from SysInternals will appear for Junction.
• Accept the license agreement and the scan will begin.
• Wait until it finishes we can take a while to run since it scans your whole harddisk. e patient and don't do anything else while it is scanning.
• The command prompt window should close when it finishes.
• While this is running, you will get several/many popups that have a title Finish and say OK. Just click the OK button each time. This is an indication that it has found a file and has attempted to fix permissions. Depending on how many files that need to be fixed, you could get only a few or many of these popups.

Step 4:
To remove a leftover from AVG - check on the following link, download the AVG Remover(32bit)version ---> run it, re-boot, then run it again.

AVG Remover

Step 5:
Please look in Add/Remove Programs for the following and uninstall if found. If you get any errors just make a note and continue on.

Step 6:
Using Windows Explorer - navigate to and delete:
C:\MGtools(2).exe

Step 7:
Open CCleaner - select "Cleaner" > "Run Cleaner" <---use this function ONLY!

Step 8:
Now install the latest Sun Java Runtime Environment

Step 9:
Now go to this link MGTools and download the new version of MGtools....overwrite your previous MGtools.exe file with this one.

Then run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

Please attach the below logs to your next reply:

• C:\MGlogs.zip
• Win32kDiag.txt
• C:\ComboFix.txt <--- from the Dec.17th running

Make sure you tell me if you had any problems running this procedure and give a description of how things are working now!

Have you downloaded a particular cleanup tool that is generating this error? I see no remaining malware in your logs. This issue should be taken up in our Software Forum

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 protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
   
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" /u
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
4. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
5. 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.
6. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
7. 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.
8. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures in step 3 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.
9. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
   • How to Protect yourself from malware!
