PC really virused up

Hey guys. I looked over the FAQ & did everything I was meant to.. or tried to at least.

SAS, Malwarebytes & Combofix would not run. SAS would say the usual it would need to close & would I like to send a report. However I envetually got it running & it picked up 6 infected files(it said a rootkit) but before the scan would complete it would just shut down out of the blue.

Malwarebytes would usually hang on trying to install but eventually it also installed, however when I clicked on it's icon & in its program files icon it did nothing.

Combofix did nothing when I clicked it.

Rootrepeal worked(I think) & so I have attached the file.

MGtools opened up a DOS but quickly did something in it & exited out.


So I have only one file to show which is rather crap & so this will probably not help you guys.

The virus will not let me open internet explorer without alot of hassle. Meaning it will just shut down & when I do get it to open it links me to various spam sites. Furthermore The computer will hang up on booting up before & when windows reaches its "welcome" resulting in rebooting until it loads up.

I first noticed the virus when I got the fake windows security alerts but managed to get these away. I also noticed in task manager a file named a.exe & a few other bad looking files but have got them away but the virus is still there. I notice when I boot up my pc one svchost can have a spike of about 20%cpu. Internet explorer will also run in task manage upon startup even If I can't see it.

The os is xp pro & it has all the latest updates. I got this pc off ebay about 2 months ago & it came shipped with xp pro. It's valid but as usual these days it does not contain a factory system settings to fall back on. On my other pc if something really bad goes wrong I will usually restart the computer & before it boots up I have an option to go into system repair with it either being destructive ot not. If I haven't gave you guys enough information on the virus the I would really just like to go back to system settings. As I have said I don't have a cd but I have my license. I think you can make a cd to do this but when I looked in the I386 folder I do not have the neccesary files to do this(Again excuse me if I'm talking rubbish here)


Any help would be greatly appreciated
