    Hey everyone thanks in advance for the assist. I ran the system cleaning as requested to the best of my ability. When I say to the best of my ability I mean I did only what was asked of my step by step, but I had a problem with combofix. I followed given instructions and could not get it to work, every time the scan commenced explorer crashed and the system just sat there. I then skipped combo fix and ran MGtools as directed.

    I have ran super antispyware 1 time since following all instructions (in attempt to see if it turned up anything). the results were that I still have something called vundo-variant H and a number of trojans being detected. I will post my logs now, and read around in some more forums trying to see if i can help my self anymore, I will not run anymore removal tools until advised.

    Thank you

    Hi litenxtoxmetal,
    Welcome to Major Geeks!


    There seem to be troubles with Combofix today. While I look at the logs you've posted so far, please run SDFix. I'll post the instructions for you here.

    Using SDFix. When you finish, please attach the log.

    Seems to be running great now, i should say that previsouly I had little if any pop ups I jsut had a sluggish system that seemed to be running at 100% cpu usage constantly no matter what I was doing.

    Thanks a million for taking time out of your day to help me, here are the fresh logs (fresh logs not to be stated in public only ok on malware forums)

    Hi llistenxtoxmetal,

    All but one. Please do the following:

    1) Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it. 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:

    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {3F07E378-20F7-4E60-B82E-FCE6D8AA50B2} - (no file)

    After you click fix, just close hijackthis.


    2) Please 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.
    3) Now run CCleaner at the default setting with the Windows tab as the top one.

    4) When you finish the above, run analyse.exe again as in Step 1 above and Do a system scan only. Check the window when it finishes to see if that one 02 entry is gone. If it is, you can continue with the final cleanup instructions in the box below:

    So i was thinking all is well , but I just got hijacked to a site xponlinescanner.com wondering what I could have done wrong or if perhaps we just missed something

    Hi listenxtoxmetal,

    We might have missed something, or there might still be something which was not picked up by the scans we did. Please go to Using BitDefender Online Scan
    and run this. This scan can only be done with Internet Explorer and with Active X enabled. It's a thorough scan, so do it when there's plenty of time to let it run. When you finish, make a log as per the instructions so we will have something we can use.

    Also, it might be good to check for a rootkit. After you finish the above scan, please go to
    Running GMER to detect rootkits

    After you've run both of these, please attach the logs.
    Thanks.

    Hey Abri,

    been awhile I know, things have been things lately. So my machine seems to be incredibly slow and getting slower (has it's moments of speed however). I have a feeling we did miss something so I ran the bdscan as you suggested and also gmer here are the logs.

    Thanks again

    These last two logs are clean. It has been a long time (internet time) since you attach scan results from the READ & RUN ME but I doubt your problem with performance is due to malware. It more likely what you are running and what your PC specs are. Please download the current version of MGtools and use it to get a new log and then attach the new MGlogs.zip file.

    Note it looks like you insttalled Online Armor's Firewall. While this is a good firewall, it has been know to cause some computers to slow down too much. You could try uninstalling it temporarily and then rebooting to see if there is any significant change.



    When you say it is slow, please describe exactly what is slow. Please answer all of the below questions relating to what/when is it slow:
    1. bootup
    2. shutdown
    3. opening a brower window
    4. surfing
    5. all general operations
    6. is it also slow in safe boot mode
     
  13. listenxtoxmetal

    well when I say it is slow.

    Boot up takes a ridiculous period of time and the taskbar never properly populates, volume controls never come out, certain programs I want to start at boot up misbehave never boot even when i open them they are there visually but fail to perform the tasks they are meant to i.e. non of the G15 keyboard stuff works anymore not will it open properly.

    Writting this and thinking a little more about what you said in your last post online armor is probably causing alot of this lag (a price i don't mind paying for security given I know that is what it is)

    I will get back to you when I try safe mode but for now start up and opening programs seems to be the slowest tasks.

    I will get the mgtools again and post the logs as well.
    Thanks

    Once I see the new logs I can comment further but I still suggest that you begin by uninstalling Online Armor's Firewall just as a test. There are other firewalls that may not impact your performance as much.
