    I was able to run everything except Combofix due to virut warning.

    MGTools did not run fully. I zipped up the logs myself because it did not complete.

    This machine is not on the internet at all and I manually updated all the malware programs that needed updates for read and run me first.

    Thanks for all your assistance!

    :(

    I'm sorry to give you the bad news but you will have to do a total clean reinstall.


    Your logs show that your Windows Operating system files have become infected by a Virut infection and there is no known reliable fix for this. In addition there are many many other infected files. We could spend a lot of time trying to remove this infection, but odds are that it will not work because the nature of the infection has so many executable system files infected that as soon as we fix one file, other files that are infected will almost immediately or upon the next reboot, just reinfect the files. In addition, your PC would still basically be unreliable/untrustworthy even if we manage to fix the infected files that we can see since there could be many more that we are not seeing.

    The safest thing for you to do is backup your personal data immediately since your PC could possibly become unbootable at any point in time. Do not back up any executable files ( like: .avi, .com, .bin, .dat., .exe, .pdf, .mov, .mpg....etc.). This includes programs that you have downloaded since any of them could be infected. Anything you may have already backed up that is an executable type file (things you downloaded to install programs....etc) are most likely infected and will cause you to be reinfected if you reuse these files.

    Once you backup, you need to format partitions and reinstall Windows and all other software especially your protection software. Then install all updates for all software. DO NOT reinstall from any executable file backups you made while this PC was infected or you will just be reinstalling the infection.

    Thank you Dr. M.

    The product key for Office is being located. Packed away in boxes from a move.

    Take care,
