  1. Here it is... the infamous 28 hr 40 minute long MBAM session.
  2. HALELUJAH! After almost 30 hours, the scan finally finished and allowed me to view the scan results and subsequently to delete/remove the infections. I'm going to run a couple other scanners to see if they find anything else, but it looks lie this may be coming to an end.
  3. I did quick scans first because MBAM never could do a full scan without the system rebooting... My quick scans did find some things early on, but the last one I did showed that it found 0 infections... whereas the full scan that is currently still running has found 27 infected objects (over 28 hours and after scanning over 4.5 MILLION objects). I'm just afraid to abort the scan after investing 28 hours into it. Q: Should I delete the c:\Windows\$NtServicePackUninstall\*.* directory? Q: Once the scan in paused, can I put the computer (IBM Thinkpad) into hibernation and pick up the scanlater? The reason I'm asking is that I've been working on this for 3 days at my office, but will be gone for a couple of days and I don't want to leave it here unattended.
  4. Thnks for the quick response. Can I Pause the scan and then resume it after cleaning temp folders? Can I do a "Disc Cleanup" with the scan paused? Would a disc cleanup or temp folder cleaning remove the NtServicePackUninstall files? Would I want them to?
  5. I've been trying to help a friend with an IBM Thinkpad with huge infections for the last couple of days, and your syptoms sound similar to what it talks about in the removal instructions for "Internet Security 2010" where the infection will moe or delete files from programs it feels threatened by. (scroll down about halfway on this page and see step 8) Might be what is going on.
  6. I've had an MBAM full scan running for almost 27 hours, which has scanned over 4.3 MILLION objects and found 27 infected objects. Is it normal for a full scan to take this long? Alot of the recent files/folders have been in c:\windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$\*.* HISTORY I've got an IBM Thinkpad from a friend who had terrible virus troubles mostly centered around "Internet Security 2010" that I'm trying to clean up for them. MBAM "full scan" would not work at first, only "quick scan" so Iresorted to running ComboFix. Once Combofix was done, I was then able to get MBAM's full scan to run. It has now been running a long time as described above.
