    Hi. I seem to have a particular nasty rootkit/trojan that needs special attention. I first noticed something was wrong when I would search google but would get rerouted after clicking on a desired result. I ran AVG and detected Skynet rootkits.

    I have followed everything I could from the malware removal guide.

    SuperAntiSpyware runs but crashes/or stops midway through the scan. I can not get a log from SAS. I have tried in Safe mode and still same prob.

    MalwareByte installs but quits before I can start the scan.

    After many attempts at re-install/uninstall of the two above now I get "windows cannot access the specified device path,or file. you may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item" prompt.

    This is where I deviated from the guide and performed a gmer rootkit scan-attached is the log.

    Then I retried SAS and Malwarebytes still same error. So I continued through the guide and performed Combo fix scan-when combofix was restarting it said to make note of the following...
    c:\windows\system32\drivers\SKYNETbwiubavt.sys
    c:\windows\system32\SKYNETbowngqto.dat
    c:\windows\system32\SKYNETccutpuya.dll
    c:\windows\system32\SKYNETlrsurqhh.dll
    c:\windows\system32\SKYNETmqwrteti.dll
    c:\windows\system32\SKYNETriyiwipj.dat

    I then ran the root repeal (attached log) and mgtools (attached log).

    I really hope someone can help me out with this. Thanks.

    It appears as though the scans took care of the malware. Tell me what issues you may still be having.

    Thanks,

    After I performed the scans and waited a couple of days, I reverted to factory settings. All is well on the comp,

    Thanks for your reply!
