    Hey guys,

    I'm sure this is not your first QHost post by a long way but I am in desperate need of some help...

    AOL detects the virus and will quarentine it but with no removal options, and Sophos, AVG, S&D etc don't even detect it! I have tried all I can but have now ran out of ideas... I have read a few posts and decided to do the whole HJT thingy...

    Here is my log...

    Hi


    While Hijackthis is a useful tool it may miss soem crucial information which the whole guide and the scans and logs requested will tell us, so please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    • Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

    Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.




    • When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
      • CounterSpy
      • AVG Antispyware log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy
      • Bitdefender - from step 6
      • Panda Scan - from step 6
      • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
      • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
      • HijackThis
    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs![/quote]

    Thankyou for the information above and sorry (for not checking stickys). I have followed all instructions and links from above and althought I was not able to save a report from Bit Defender it did show the system as clean.

    Here are all the logfiles requested (minus Bit Defender).

    Regards

    First, run the steps in this thread: WareOut Removal

    After you run the fix above, fix the below enties with HJT. After you complete this post, reboot and attach a fresh HJT log.
