Is my laptop finally clean?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

First off I will appoligise for my lack of technical language haha! Also if you respond please be very clear and specific with your answer :)

I'll start from the begining. 4 days ago I started getting notifications from my security program (MSE) that it was quarintining things and saying not to worry as the threat was being cleaned/dealt with. I didn't think much of this until Firefox kept running in safemode and it started not opening. I did a full system scan with MSE and it found a few trojans/ramnit. I cleaned the laptop and reset it but the notifications from MSE kept appearing, I did scan after scan but it didn't seem to be working. That is until 2 days ago when after scanning I removed what seemed to be only one ramnit that was detected. I reset my computer and voila! No more notifications and MSE wasn't detecting anything. I thought I should use a second program just to make sure. I downloaded Malwarebytes and did a full scan, it picked up a few things that MSE had already quaritntined that I knew about - nothing serious. No trojans or ramnit were detected. I was relieved and thought that it was all over and I had got away safely. I have done 2 or 3 more scans with Malware Bytes and all have comeback clean however I know that ramnit are very dangerous and severe things and had heard that they were incurable. So this is why I took to this forum, I just want to make sure my laptop is completely safe and clean as I do a lot of online shopping etc. on it and have a huge music collection.

If someone could help me out I wouldn't be able to thank you enough!

Regards, Joca

Usually with that type of infection we just tell the person the best course of action is to format the drive and start over.

Next, please run a free online scan with the ESET Online Scanner

Note: You will need to use Internet Explorer for this scan.

http://www.eset.eu/online-scanner

Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.

Click Start

When asked, allow the ActiveX control to install

Click Start

Make sure that the options Remove found threats and the option Scan unwanted applications is checked

Click Advanced settings and select the following:

  • Scan potentially unwanted applications
  • Scan for potentially unsafe applications
  • Enable Anti-Stealth technology

Click Start

Wait for the scan to finish

Use Notepad to open the logfile located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt

Copy and paste that log as a reply to this topic
