Rootkit, Rogue.Pal.spyware, HijackStartme

Part of your problem is that you need to, at least, double your RAM:

Code:

Total Physical Memory    512.00 MB    
Available Physical Memory    188.93 MB

Please put ComboFix directly on your desktop, not here:
Running from: J:\combofix.com

Do you know what these are:
c:\windows\is-7MDG5.exe
c:\windows\is-7MDG5.lst
c:\windows\is-7mdg5.msg
If you don't, leave them in the below fix. If you do and they are OK, remove them from the fix.

Please use add/remove programs to uninstall:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 5

Now download The Avenger by Swandog469, and save it to your Desktop.

* Extract+ avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop

Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

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.

* Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
* -Do not change any check box options!!
* Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it into the Input script here: part of the window:

* Now click the Execute button.
* Click Yes to the prompt to confirm you want to execute.
* Click Yes to the Reboot now? question that will appear when Avenger finishes running.
* Your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
* A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt and it will popup for you to view when you login after reboot.

Now run Ccleaner!

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 logs:

* C:\Avenger.txt
* C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

My bad. First, let's see if we can get your .exe files to work. Go to this site and scroll down to the ninth file fix:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm

Tell me exactly what the message is on start up.

Now let's fix my fix....

* Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
* -Do not change any check box options!!
* Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it into the Input script here: part of the window:

* Now click the Execute button.
* Click Yes to the prompt to confirm you want to execute.
* Click Yes to the Reboot now? question that will appear when Avenger finishes running.
* Your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
* A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt and it will popup for you to view when you login after reboot.

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 logs:

* C:\Avenger.txt
* C:\MGlogs.zip

 

AAARRGGHHH!!

* Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
* -Do not change any check box options!!
* Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it into the Input script here: part of the window:

* Now click the Execute button.
* Click Yes to the prompt to confirm you want to execute.
* Click Yes to the Reboot now? question that will appear when Avenger finishes running.
* Your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
* A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt and it will popup for you to view when you login after reboot.

I think you will need to post in the software forum for your other issues, but lets do the above and see where we are.

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 logs:

* C:\Avenger.txt
* C:\MGlogs.zip

 

Ok. At this point I am not seeing any malware in your logs. Your other issues should be pursued in the software forum.

You can try going to start / run / type:
sfc /scannow and have your OS disc handy.

Since you are not having any 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.
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:
    
    • How to Protect yourself from malware!
    
    

 

The only one I see in that screen shot that I can make out is exeHelper.com. It is not malware. If you wish to run both SAS and MBAM again, I will be happy to check those logs.

 

The screen shot does me no good since different scanners have different names for malware. I would need to know the path to the file that it is reporting as bad.

Download the latest version of MGtools and save it to your root folder. Overwrite your previous MGtools.exe file with this one. Then run the .exe file.

 

Use windows explorer to find and delete:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\utexmtm2.sys

Reboot and tell me what issues you are having.

 

Yes to the RAM. Adding more would be very helpful for your system. But the main thing to do is to follow the suggestions in the How to Protect yourself thread and keep all your AV and AS software updated.

I usually only run my AS software when I suspect trouble, but then I don't do a lot of surfing past MG"s, so you would need to figure out how often you might need to run it, such as weekly or bi-weekly.

And you are very welcome.
