Hi im having quite a problem here... My laptop has recently been infected with some pretty severe malware. After doing all kinds of scans with MBAM, Adaware, Spybot, HijackThis, SuperAntiSpyware, etc etc I realized there wasnt much hope due to the severe damage to my registry that was caused. I purchased the full version of MBAM, and I noticed after I did a thorough scan that my internet stopped working. Upon further investigation, I realized that somehow a series of extra network adapters had been installed (presumably by the malware). In particular, it created a duplicate version of my wireless network adapter. This additional driver made the network adapter essentially useless. My computer could no longer detect any wireless networks and I could not connect to the internet. I tried to uninstall the extra "ghost" hardware if you will, but I get an error saying it cannot be uninstalled because the system needs this device to start-up. After a lot of searching online, I couldn't come up with a solution. I am running a Macbook pro that uses Windows XP via Boot Camp, and when I boot up in OS X everything runs flawlessly. Its too bad I use a lot of software that is Windows-based otherwise id be home free in OS X. So ultimately I came to the decision there was no better option than to completely delete the Windows partition, recreate it using the Boot Camp Utility in OS X, reformat the hard drive to NTFS, then reinstall windows to ensure this malware was COMPLETELY removed. Sounds like a flawless plan right? Well I did all of that and the very first thing I did in my new fresh copy of Windows was install MBAM. Then I thought, what the hell, I might as well do a scan just for the heck of it. You have to figure, on a BRAND new copy of Windows XP without ever surfing the web or installing anything the machine HAS to be 100% malware free. I was connected to my wireless network however at this point. Well somehow MBAM found a slew of trojans and such... After the befuddlement wore off, I then realized my network adapter stopped working yet again. I went into the device manager, and I had the exact same problem as before... new duplicate ghost hardware shows up that blocks my good device from working. I will include a screen shot of this problem below. Notice there are two Broadcom devices shown. The top one is the good one, and the bad one is in the red box. For some reason it has the exact same name yet adds the "-" on the end of it. I will also attach the MBAM log that resulted from this scan. To further the mystery, I also have a desktop that I decided I would scan. I installed MBAM on it and performed a full scan. I hadnt done any sort of virus scan on this machine in quite some time, so as expected, there was many, many instances found that MBAM cleaned up. After the scan and reboot, what do you know... my desktop did the EXACT same thing as my laptop did. All sorts of new network adapters that block the good ones from working. I dont know if somehow my desktop and laptop got infected by the same bug that is causing this, or it has something to do with the result of an MBAM scan, but I cant fix this problem for the life of me. Its driving me insane because I essentially have two useless internet-less computers that cannot be fixed. If there is anything you can do to help it would be GREATLY appreciated! I am very lost at this point as to where to go and what to do... Thanks! mbam_log_2009_02_05__01_06_21_.txt mbam_log_2009_02_05__01_06_21_.txt
