Please download and save the below to your Desktop or anywhere else you can find it ( if the Desktop is not showing )

http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/unhide.exe

Now run it. Did that help?

Follow as much of the below set of instructions as possible.

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide Attach the requested logs for my reviewal please.

 

Rename Combofix.exe to s3gv701.com ensure it is on your desktop . Now try and run it again, in normal mode first and if it fails, I want you to boot into safe mode and try again.



Please also download MBRCheck to your desktop

• Double click MBRCheck.exe to run (vista and Win 7 right click and select Run as Administrator)
• It will show a Black screen with some information that will contain either the below line if no problem is found:
  • Done! Press ENTER to exit...
• Or you will see more information like below if a problem is found:
  • Found non-standard or infected MBR.
  • Enter 'Y' and hit ENTER for more options, or 'N' to exit:
• Either way, just choose to exit the program at this point since we want to see only the scan results to begin with.
• MBRCheck will create a log named similar to MBRCheck_07.16.10_00.32.33.txt which is random based on date and time.
• Attach this log to your next message. (See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post )

Please click Start, Run, and enter cmd and click OK. This will open a command prompt window. Enter the below commands at the command prompt each followed by the enter key. The bold black are commands. The purple is merely informational.

• cd \MGtools <-- this changes to the MGtools folder and the prompt should change to C:\MGtools>
• nwktst<-- this will try to run all one scan from MGtools. Tell me what error messages, if any, you see.
• GetRunKey <-- this will try to run all one scan from MGtools. Tell me what error messages, if any, you see.
• ShowNew <-- this will try to run all another scan from MGtools. Tell me what error messages, if any, you see.
• analyse <-- this attempts to run HijackThis. Be sure to click the Accept button twice in the license agreement popup or it will just sit there and wait.

Now look for the C:\MGlogs.zip file and attach it no matter what happened while doing the above.


I want you to run TDSSKiller so refer to the below for how to do so.

TDSSkiller - How to run


Download OTL to your desktop.

• Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
• Vista and Windows 7 users Right-click OTL and choose Run as Administrator)
• When the window appears, underneath Output at the top change it to Minimal Output.
• Check the boxes beside LOP Check and Purity Check.
• Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.

When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.

Attach both of these logs into your next reply.

 

Please be warned that you would be wise to back up any important data before proceeding with the next step of attempting to fix your MBR.

Do you have your Vista boot CD? If not:

If you don't have your Vista disc, you can create a Recovery Environment disc for your system here:

32bit Vista Recovery Environment

64bit Vista Recovery Environment

You can use ImageBurn to create the disc.

Once the disc is created, boot into the bios and change the boot order to CD/DVD as first boot device. Put in the disc and reboot. Once in the RE, type this:

Note the space after the exe.

Exit out when done and boot back into normal mode. Re-run MBRCheck and attach the new log.

 

Information I found that could help:

• Try burning at all supported speeds.
• Try cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc.
• Try some better discs
• Use a different burning program

Any better now?

 

Recovery Environment.

Just do not "hit any key to boot from CD" when it asks and you should go straight into Windows...

 

Let's try the following:

Please download aswMBR by Avast to your desktop.

• Double-click aswMBR.exe to run it (Vista and Win7 right-click and select Run as Administrator)
• Select No when asked Would you like to download latest Avast! virus definitions?
• Click the [Scan] button.
  Note: This scan should only take a few seconds to complete.
• On completion of the scan click [Save log], save it to your desktop and attach this log to your next message. (How to attach items to your post)
• Now click the [FixMBR] button.
• Follow the rest of the prompts.

Reboot and rerun MBRCheck, attach its latest log. Also remember to attach your log from aswMBR.

 

That did not work. Have another go at following my instructions in post number 8. In the meantime I will ask colleagues about what the problem could be. Let me know how you get on.

 

We suspect you may be having issues because you might be just burning the ZIP file to the CD. That you are just making a data CD. Follow the instructions properly to create a bootable CD from the iso file.

(Thanks Chaslang!)

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. (Right click and run as admin if using Vista or Windows7) Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this.

Let me know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions and also let me know how things are running now!

 

Foolow the instructions for Vista on this page. Did that help?

How to restore files hidden/deleted by Windows Recovery virus

I'll have to review the logs tomorrow, not long finished work and am very tired. :zzz

 

After doing the above...

Now we need to scan the system with this special tool.

• Please download Junction.zip and save it to your root folder (C:\Junction.zip)
• Unzip it and put junction.exe in the root folder (C:\junction.exe)
• Now click Start => Run... => Copy and paste the following command in the run box and click OK:
  
  cmd /c junction -s c:\ >C:\log.txt
  ​
• A command prompt window opens and also a license agreement from SysInternals will appear.
• Accept the license agreement and the scan will begin.
• Wait until a log file opens. Attach this C:\log.txt when it finishes (the command prompt window will close when it finishes). (How to attach items to your post)
• NOTE: It scans your whole hard disk so if can take a long time. Be patient and don't do anything else while it is scanning.

Run OTL again as you did in post number 4 and attach the log it creates please. Also run this:
