    Hey, guys,

    I have a PAVRM malware problem. When I turn on my PC, I get a message-box, "Application cannot be executed. The file is infected. Please activate your antivirus software." and an Advanced Virus Removal splash screen appears. When I try to delete the Advance Virus Removal program, I get the message, "file in use". When I try to invoke the task manager to delete the evil processes, I get the "Application cannot be executed" message. Same thing happens whether I use ctrl-alt-del or "taskmgr" in the run command window. The machine locks up frequently and my MSOffice programs do not work. Is there any hope for my PC? Should I buy a Mac? Thanx in advance for your help.

    Up-up-update,

    I ran SUPERAntiSpyware (Spyware doctor) and I get the blue screen a minute or so after I start a full scan. MalwareBytes Anti-malware doesn't run at all. ComboFix runs awhile then I get the blue screen. I did get as far as "completed stage 6A" once, then blue screen. No matter what I do, the machine will go to the blue screen after 4-5 minutes. I can go into this machine through another user account, but I've been reluctant to do that as of yet.

    What should I do next?

    Thanx for the help.

    Well, I ran Spyware Doctor and Registry Mechanic on my system and they both found and fixed many problems. But, I still get the blue screen. There are no more messageboxes about Advanced Virus Removal. I get messages from MS that say I have a driver problem and maybe the hard drive controller. My problem is that in safe mode the computer comes up with a blue screen and in normal mode the blue screen comes about 2 minutes after start-up. I don't have time to do anything before it dies.

    Thanx,
    MarvEllis

    We may not be able to help you if you are constantly crashing and not being able to run any of the tools. You did not mention running the MGTools, did you try that? Did you go into another user account and do any of the scans there?

    I need to see the results of the scans ( esp. MGTools) to be able to assist you. If you need, you might want to post in the software section to try to figure out what is crashing your system. You will need to post the exact error message when you get the BSOD.

    I get the same results for each of the user accounts - the machine dies about 3-4 minutes after power on. I'll try the software forum - the BSOD error message is:

    STOP: 0x0000003F (0x00000000, 0x00000010, 0x00000075, 0x0000CD2A)

    Thanx for the help!

    Let us know if you get it up and running, then maybe we can check your system for malware.

    Hi, Tim,
    I was able to fix my machine and it seems to be running OK. I think I am finally rid of the dreaded malware/virus. I ran the MGTools program and the MGlogs.zip file is attached. Could you let me know if it looks OK.

    Thanx,
    MarvEllis

    The MGLogs are not enough to ensure you are clean. I still would like to see the other requested logs:
    SAS
    MBAM
    ComboFix
    RootRepeal

    And you need to clean out this folder:
    C:\WINDOWS\Temp\

    Do you know what this is:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Will Kelly\1RHvwKQmejt --> if not, delete it.

    Use windows explorer to find and delete this:
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\13314374

    Now download the latest version of MGtools and save it to your root folder. Overwrite your previous MGtools.exe file with this one. Run the .exe file and attach the new log as well as the other logs I asked for.
