• 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 )

 

Well, both of those where clean. Let's have you run these instructions:

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

 

Not a problem.

 

Now let's use ComboFix to remove a bunch of malware files.

* 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::

File::
c:\windows\SysWow64\libmfxhw32.dll
c:\windows\SysWow64\libmfxsw32.dll

Folder::
C:\Windows\system32\3071

* 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.

Note: If after running Combofix you discover none of your programs will open up, and you recieve the following error: "Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion". Then the answer is to REBOOT the machine, and all will be corrected.

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

Then attach the below log:

• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

Now download The Avenger by Swandog46 to your Desktop.

[REBOOT]

• Then click the Run Fix button at the top.
• Click the OK button.
• OTL may ask to reboot the machine. Please do so if asked.
• The report should appear in Notepad after the reboot. Just close notepad and attach this log form OTL to your next message.

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).


Then attach the below logs:

• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You may want to consider using Web of Trust with your IE browser to keep away from bad sites.

Please use windows explorer to find and delete:
C:\Program Files (x86)\yrfxlg.txt
C:\Windows\yjuk.txt

Now copy just the bold text below to notepad (Do not include any space above the word REGEDIT). Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.

Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above
to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it definitely did not work.

Tell me what malware issues you may still be having, if any.

I will give you the final cleanup in my next reply and you should pay attention to the link for How to Protect Yourself from Malware.

 

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:

The thread will remain open, but God forbid if it happens again, you must start a fresh one to keep things tidy and in order.

 

Your getting infected from somewhere. Re-download MGtools run it and attach the new log.

 

There was only one log in that zip. Please re-run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file.

 

Double-click OTL.exe to start the program.

• Copy and Paste the following code into the Custom Scans/Fixes textbox. Do not include the word Code

Code:

:processes
:otl
:files
C:\Windows\system32\1048
:commands
[PURITY]
[EMPTYTEMP]
[RESETHOSTS]
[REBOOT]

• Then click the Run Fix button at the top.
• Click the OK button.
• OTL may ask to reboot the machine. Please do so if asked.
• The report should appear in Notepad after the reboot. Just close notepad and attach this log form OTL to your next message.

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).


Then attach the below logs:

• C:\MGlogs.zip

 

Well, that file seems to have disappeared. And I am not seeing any malware remaining in your logs. Are you still being redirected? If so, in which browsers?

 

What version of IE are you using?

 

You may want to try downloading IE 10. See if that helps.

 

Get me a new OTL and MGLogs.zip.

 

Your best option would be to use another PC to try create one or more of the below CDs to boot from that allow you to run scans and perform many other tasks without Windows even being loaded. Sometimes this can help to get you started when all else fails. They can even help in cases where a previous scan may have removed something that resulted in your PC being unbootable.

• Avira Rescue CD
• AVG Rescue CD
• BitDefender Rescue USB
• F-Secure Rescue CD
• Kaspersky Rescue Disk.
• SystemRescueCD
• Trinity Rescue CD

 

I am at a bit of a loss as to why this keeps coming back. Let's do this:

Double-click OTL.exe to start the program.

• Copy and Paste the following code into the Custom Scans/Fixes textbox. Do not include the word Code

Code:

:processes
:otl

[REBOOT]

• Then click the Run Fix button at the top.
• Click the OK button.
• OTL may ask to reboot the machine. Please do so if asked.
• The report should appear in Notepad after the reboot. Just close notepad and attach this log form OTL to your next message.

Now re-run OTL and get me both the log from running the script and a new log from running the program.

 

Let's see what this finds:
eSet Online Scan.

 

Then you would let the software you chose run a scan. Just follow what TimW's instruction first. This is an option you can try later because it MAY just find something.

 

Just run Defogger from the R&R instructions and once you are finished with the eSet scan, re-run MGTools.
