    Hi all

    Trying to follow malaware removal proceedure

    I have been able to get all suggested software except SuperAnti Spyware

    I have tried various URL's and links

    Every time download gets to 84% quickly and then stops when using Free Download Manager

    Same thing using no manager: gets 5.somthing Mb and halts for good.

    My problems first started I think when somthing took out Commodo firewall -
    subsequently can't install Commodo again.

    Could malaware prevent this download?


    Thanks

    Gonball

    Welcome to Major Geeks!


    Yes it could.

    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.


    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

    Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can running steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.

    After downloading SuperAntiSpyware on another machine, I have conducted the read and run me 1st proceedures.

    I was then able to install comodo (3.0.25.378_XP')

    The Installer previously appeared to extract but then the window disappeared and no commodo directory or files were visible on inspection.

    The previous installed version ceased to work some few months ago.
    After this I saw large amounts of unexpected activity on net meter
    Subsequent malware scans turned up iframe.u bumblebee and somthing else I can't recall.

    Unexplaned net activity continued and reinfections as above.

    I also noticed new behaviour in that windows sidebar would briefly warn that the windows firewall was disabled on startup but it appeared to be configured to work normally on inspection.

    P.S.

    First time i ran the procedure i missed combofix out and firewall would not install
    After i realised my omission and ran Combofix, the firewall then installed properly!


    Logs attached



    Profuse thanks for your most helpul help!

    Other than a few minor items to fix with HJT, I am not seeing any problems.

    Please use add/remove programs to uninstall:


    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 tell me what problems you may still be having.

    Thanks Tim

    The proceedure appears to have worked, although collateral damage seemed to occur to graphics drivers and internet connection that took me a while to sort out.

    Please excuse delayed thanks.

    Not a problem.....If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

    1. We recommed you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no real time protection. They are useful as backup scanners. 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" /u
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.

      • Delete the C:\combofix folder from combofix (if it exists)

    3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    4. 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.
    5. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    6. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
    7. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.

    8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
