    I went through the instructions for the malware removal and it didn't pick up anything. Although on combofix, I noticed it said that winver.exe was infected? Should I be worried about this?

    Let's run a scan to see what we're dealing with.
    Download
    CureIt to the desktop:
    Dr Web Cureit.



    Click on CureIt Download - button.

    Doubleclick the drweb-cureit.exe file and Allow to run the express scan
    This will scan the files currently running in memory and when something is found, click the yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it. This is only a short scan.

    Once the short scan has finished, mark the drives that you want to scan.
    Move dot to Complete scan

    Click the green arrow at the right, and the scan will start.
    Click 'Yes to all' if it asks if you want to cure/move the file.

    When the scan has finished, in the menu, click file and choose save report list
    Save the report to your desktop. The report will be called DrWeb.csv

    Close Dr.Web Cureit.

    Please post the Dr.Web report in your next reply.

    That scan took a very long time haha. It wouldn't let me upload the file so I just copy and pasted what was on the page.

    chodefix.bat;C:\MGtools;BAT.Hosts.41;Incurable.Moved.;
    Process.exe;C:\MGtools;Tool.Killproc.3;;

    That did not detect the reported infected system file. Go to start/ run / and type:
    sfc /scannow and have your OS disc handy. Run it twice. Then re-run Combo and get me the new log.

    * Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
    If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
    * Also make sure you have shut down all protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) or they may get in the way of allowing ComboFix to run properly.
    * If ComboFix tells you it needs to update to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
    * Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below code box into it (make sure you scroll all the way down in the code box to get all lines selected ):
    Code:
    KILLALL::
    
    FCopy::
    c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386\winver.exe | c:\windows\System32\winver.exe
    
    Quit::
    
    * Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
    * At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
    * You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
    If it asks you to overide the previous file with the same name, click YES.
    * Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe
    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/sUBs/CFScriptB-4.gif
    * Follow the prompts.
    * When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
    * I will ask for this log below

    Note:

    Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

    Then attach the below logs:

    * C:\ComboFix.txt

    Let's try replacing it again:

    * Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
    If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
    * Also make sure you have shut down all protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) or they may get in the way of allowing ComboFix to run properly.
    * If ComboFix tells you it needs to update to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
    * Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below code box into it (make sure you scroll all the way down in the code box to get all lines selected ):
    Code:
    KILLALL::
    
    FCopy::
    C:\Windows.old\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-winver_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_b627d45ffdcc6f00\winver.exe | c:\windows\System32\winver.exe
    
    Quit::
    
    * Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
    * At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
    * You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.

    Then attach the below logs:

    Looks like it did. ;)

    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 real time protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.We recommend them for doing backup scans when you suspect a malware infection.
    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" /uninstall
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.


    3. Go back to step 6 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    6. 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.
    7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    8. 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.
    9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of 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.

    10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
