Windows Server 2003 Win32/Patched explorer.exe

Welcome to MajorGeeks!

No, ComboFix only works for 32bit OS workstations.

Please download and run this in its place in the scanning sequence. OTL by OldTimer, saving it to your desktop:

• Close all open windows on the Task Bar. Double-click the OTL icon to start the program and let it run uninterrupted.
• When the windows appears, underneath Output at the top - change it to Minimal Output.
• Under the Standard Registry box, change it to All.
• Check the boxes beside LOP Check and Purity Check.
• Now click the Run Scan button at Top left and let the program run - the scan may take 5-10 minutes.
• Do not TOUCH your keyboard until the scan completes!
  • It will produce two (2) logs on your desktop, one will pop up called OTL.txt and the other - Extras.txt. These logs are saved normally directly under your C:/ directory.
  • Now exit Notepad.
  • Exit OTL by clicking the [X] at top right.

Attach both OTListIt.txt and Extras.txt logs to your next reply -- along with the requested logs from this procedure:

Please read ALL of this message including the notes before doing anything.

Please follow the instructions in the below link:

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


and then attach the requested logs to your next reply when you finish these instructions.

• **** If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. ****
• Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not. MGtools will frequently run even when all other tools will not.

• After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!

Helpful Notes:

1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
   
   • Starting your computer in Safe mode
2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
3. If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes while logged into this other user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account. If you can then run SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ComboFix and MGtools on the infected account as requested in the instructions.
4. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:
   • 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.
