Windows Antivirus Pro Removal: Is it really gone?

    Hello. My Windows XP was recently infected with Windows Antivirus Pro. I followed the instructions found in other threads and was able to successfully delete the actual virus file along with as many related files and processes. However, I was unable to find all of them. After rebooting my computer, it works just as well as it used to.

    My question is, is it really gone? Will it reappear? I was able to completely get rid of the folder with the virus, and have probably only left some extra helper files that don't do anything in of themselves. Am I being paranoid, or should I be legitimately concerned about finding the rest of the other files?

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello, Andimian

    We won't be able to tell until you provide us with the requested logs from running the guide.
    • Now you need to attach (See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post ) the below logs created while running the above scans.
      • SASlog.txt log from SuperAntiSpyware.
      • Malwarebytes Anti-Malware log
      • RRlog.txt (from RootRepeal)
      • ComboFix.txt (normally C:\ComboFix.txt)
      • MGlogs.zip - normally it is C:\MGlogs.zip - only attach this log from MGtools.exe DO NOT attach any logs seen in the MGtools folder.
    • You should attach all of your logs to one message after you have completed all scans.
    • Be patient after posting your logs and wait for one of the helpers to get to you. It can take a while to read thru all of the logs and to create individual fixes for you.
    • Also DO NOT BUMP your thread to try and get a faster answer. This will actually significantly delay getting an answer. See this: Don't Bump! It Only Hurts You!!!
    • Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.
