System infected

Hi Majorgeeks

Used your site plenty of times for good advice, but after 7 years, I have finally succumb to problems I need help with.

First I noticed CPU was not behaving as usual and my system just felt notright. I then began having an issue updating through Windows Update, especially .NET Framework 4 update with update just hanging and not completing. Also, boot time is little longer and Windows Explorer seems to be unresponsive at times.

I have follwed all instructions and attach my logs. MGtools will not run and I get the following message:-

16 bit MS-DOS subsystem

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers. Virtual Device Driver format in the registry is invalid.

Look forward to receiving your help and in advance wish to thankyou.

Just running Malwarebytes now and will post as soon as it is finished.

From what I have already seen, I'm infected. lol

 

Hi Chasland and thanks for help.

Here is the MBAM scan log.

Looks pretty clear

 

I have tried the fix for MGtools but I do not have the registry key which it quotes in order to make the fix. It states XP, but if you look for the fix for Vista, it directs you to the same fix as also applicable for Vista:-

"Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
322756 How to back up and restore the registry in Windows
To resolve this issue:

Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe or Regedit.exe).

NOTE: In Windows XP, Regedit.exe and Regedt32.exe have been integrated into a single program that combines the features of the two registry editors in Windows 2000.
Locate and select the following value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers\VDD
On the Edit menu, click Delete.
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Multi-string Value.
Type VDD in the Value Name box, and then press ENTER.
Quit Registry Editor.

If the issue continues to occur, verify that the proper version of the Command.com file is installed in the systemroot/System32 folder on your computer."
