Still Having Stability Issues After Run Me / Read Me First

Hello and welcome.

I am currently reviewing your logs and will get back to you with a set of instructions as soon as possible. This takes time so please bear with me and thankyou for your patience.

Kestrel13!

 

Let's do this:

GMER's MBR.exe

• Double click on the MBR.exe file to run it.
• A log will be produced & saved to the desktop, called MBR.log.
• Attach this log to your next message.

Now delete the current mbr.log file and then run the below instructions.
Click Start > Run and copy & paste the following text in the code box into the Run box and then click OK. You must copy and paste or type in this exactly. The quotes must be exactly as shown and there is a space before the -f

Code:

     "%userprofile%\desktop\mbr.exe" -f

Now double click on the mbr.exe file and attach the new mbr.log

Now...



1. Please go to Add or Remove Programs and uninstall the following software as requested in the R&R:

• Viewpoint Media Player

2. If you do not use Windows Messenger Run this Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to remove Windows Messenger. Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

3. FYI: Ad-Aware is not as effective as SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes that we had you install. So we suggest that you uninstall Ad-Aware (unless you purchased it) to avoid wasting any system resources on it.

4. Tidy up this desktop:

I strongly advise you to cleanup your Desktop. Remove eveything but links to run programs. Do not download and save programs here and defintely do not use it for long term storage. You need to keep ComboFix.exe here for now as we need it, but we will be removing it when we are finished with your cleanup. A cluttered Desktop is malware's playground and it can also cause performance degradation.

5. 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.

6. Now we need to 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.
• 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::

Driver::
jnv4_mib
Inemon_nrau

File::
c:\docume~1\Chris\LOCALS~1\Temp\jnv4_mib.sys
c:\program files\ivkzydn.txt
c:\windows\warnhp.html
c:\windows\system32\attrib.exe 

• 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.
• Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe

• 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.

7. Now go to this MGTools and download the new version of MGtools.exe. Overwrite your previous MGtools.exe file with this one.

8. Run the new MGTools.exe and attach the C:\mglogs.zip into your next reply.

9. Also attach the log from running ComboFix.

10. Let me know how things are running now!!

Thanks

1. Please reboot with the XP CD and get into the recovery console....once there, type fixmbr and then hit enter.

Next...

2. We need to restore a file, so to do this let's do the below:

Now we need to use ComboFix to restore a file.

• 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.
• 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::

DeQuarantine::
C:\Qoobox\Quarantine\C\WINDOWS\system32\attrib.exe.vir

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.
• Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe

• 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.

3. Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this.

4. Also attach the log from ComboFix

yes I'm sorry That was my fault.

Could you please refrain from quoting such large segments of my text to you as it makes it harder to keep track of what's going on. I shall review your logs and get back to you ASAP

Thanks
Kes13!

 

hey NP!

 

Okay a question: Did you actually run fixmbr from the Recovery Console? I suspect you did not... Those files will not be removable until that is done. In most cases, they will already be gone after the normal bootup following the running of fixmbr. So do let me know!

Thanks
Kes13!
