system32/Services.exe is infected!!

Are you able to follow any of these instructions?

READ & RUN ME FIRST - Malware Removal Guide

 

Yes, do continue on please.

 

The logs from Mbam and RK can easily be attached here as files. The zipped files from MGTools (MGlogs.zip) can also very easily be attached, you do not need to seperate logs out of it and break them up.

 

Those sizes shouldn't be too big at all. :confused Try a different browser and see if it helps.

RogueKiller does not seem to be able to help us with those entries so...

Excellent, it found the culprit and I believe it will fix it.

Attached is fixlist.txt

• Save fixlist.txt to your flash drive.
• You should now have both fixlist.txt and FRST64.exe on your flash drive.

Now re-enter System Recovery Options.
Run FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.
The tool will make a log on the flashdrive (Fixlog.txt).
Please attach this to your next message. (How to attach)


Once done, re run RogueKiller again, just a scan, and attach the log.

 

Most welcome.

How is the machine currently behaving?

 

I don't know, nor am I familiar with Norton. You can ask about this in the software forum.

Again, topic for the software forum.

This is just due to the fact we are going thru a malware removal process and hidden files and folders were set to show. Final steps will reverse this.

Most welcome. Safe surfing!

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

1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
2. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
3. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
4. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, 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. Now goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
6. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others) and running MGclean.bat did not remove them, you can delete these files now.
7. If you are running Win 8, Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below to flush restore points:
   • Refer to the instructions for your WIndows version in this link: Disable And Enable System Restore​
   • What we want you to do is to first disable System Restore to flush restore points some of which could be infected.
   • Then we want you to Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
   • How to Protect yourself from malware!

 

You're most welcome.
