The "thing" that does not allow MBAM or antivirus.

Thanmos · Dec 1, 2009

Hi there, I have a strange one that does not allow MalwareBytes AntiMalware to operate more than 3-4 secs (so no mbamlog.txt below) and does not allow ESET Smart Security 4 (that I try to install) to even autorun.
Also it does not allow a U3 memory stick I have to open in windows explorer.

Didn't notice internet effects, (search interference etc), but it seems to be sthg like RisenWarriors thing. I did try to obtain logs during last night and this afternoon, and I attach them hereby.

Thanks in advance.

I am not seeing any malware in your logs. What though is this:
C:\¢ž*Ÿâ¤«˜

Try running the below online scan:

http://www.superantispyware.com/onlinescan.html

Reboot immediately after scanning if it finds and removes anything. Let me know if anything was found. It does not save a log.

First of all I say that the matter was resolved in a rather unexpected way.
Although the "thing" was very persistent in not allowing me to access MbAm and install antivirus, Superantispyware did nothing.
I decided to run combofix once more, as you describe in readrun standard procedure.

After this, I was able to run both, so I installed Eset Smart Security and it did find some nastyware... but I ain't at all sure one of them was the "thing".

Anyway I am most thankful for your time and site.

Would you please attach the logs from running both MBAM and ComboFix. If you have a log from Eset, I would like to see that also or at least the files that were removed.
