    Hello!
    I am a very experienced computer user, I've owned and worked with PC's since the days of the 8086 and 286 machines so I have seen almost every version of commercial OS's ever made. I can easilly say that I'm no lamer, I've been around and I've "seen it all" (well almost)
    In most cases of malware, spyware and viruses I have been able to manually delete the files involved but this time I'm stuck.
    I was just about to reformat when a friend suggested I should check out your forum, so I did...and I have followed your instructions carefully...
    Here are the logs...PLEASE help me to solve this one !

    Thanks in advance.

    Jonny.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    You need to attach the last log that was requested from running MGtools.

    Is the below something you installed?
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Vistadrv] C:\Program\Vistadrive\vsdrv.exe


    Uninstall the below old versions of software:
    Java(TM) 6 Update 3

    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:

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] "C:\Program\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\jusched.exe"
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ac94ab06] rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\afljhjdt.dll",b

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.



    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 quote box into it:
    • 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.


    After reboot, now install the current version of Sun Java from: Sun Java Runtime Environment


    Copy the bold text below to notepad. 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.

    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:\ComboFix.txt
    • C:\MGlogs.zip
    Make sure you tell me how things are working now!
