Virus - most items hidden

Use windows explorer to find and delete:
C:\ProgramData\39902968
C:\ProgramData\~39902968
C:\ProgramData\~39902968r

Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

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:

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Please click Start, All Program, Accessories and you will see ( among other things ) a Command Prompt entry.

• Right click the Command Prompt entry and select Run As Administrator.
  • It is critical that you run it this way.
• If you do this properly, a command prompt window will open with a title of Administrator Command Prompt.
• Enter the below commands ( in bold black ) at the command prompt each followed by the enter key. Try each command!!!! The bold black are commands. The purple/brown is merely informational.

cd \ <-- this changes to the root folder and the prompt should change to C:\>
attrib -s -h -r c:/*.* /s /d <-- this will try to remove the hidden and system attributes on all files and folder. Note there are spaces before -h, before -s, before * and before each /

Let me know if this helps.

Please download and save the below to your Desktop or anywhere else you can find it ( if the Desktop is not showing )

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).Make sure that you watch for the license agreement for TrendMicro HijackThis and click on the Accept button TWICE to accept ( yes twice ).

Then attach the below logs:

* C:\MGlogs.zip

 

Go to the MGTools folder and run the FixAttr.bat. Tell me if that helps.

 

See if you can create a new user account ( with Admin. privileges ) and tell me if that account works.

 

And for the affected account try this:

Please download RogueKiller.exe and save it to your desktop.

• Now quit all running programs.
• Double click RogueKiller.exe to run it.
• When prompted, type 1 and hit Enter.
• A RKreport.txt should appear on your desktop.
• Note: If the program is blocked, do not hesitate to try several times. If it really does not work (it could happen), rename it to winlogon.exe .
• Please post the contents of the RKreport.txt in your next Reply.

 

Re run Malware Bytes and see if that finds anthing on the affected account.

I want you to run TDSSKiller so refer to the below for how to do so.

TDSSkiller - How to run


Run this and attach the results.

Using ESET's Online Scanner

Also please 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.

 

You can refer to this link for adding program short cuts to the start menu:
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/296-start-menu-all-programs-add-delete-shortcuts.html

I will look at the logs when you have them ready.

 

Did you re run Malware Bytes?

 

Can you do a system restore to before this infection?

 

Let us know if you have any other issues that need addressing.

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

1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no real time protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.We recommend them for doing backup scans when you suspect a malware infection.
2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
   
   • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
   • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /uninstall
     
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
     
     
   
   
3. Go back to step 6 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
6. If running Vista, 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.
7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
8. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click 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.
9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of the READ ME
     for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
   • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
