PC with rootkit

[Guest acestaagainandagain]

hello,

I know for sure that is some sort of rootkit because i just formatted the PC twice in a row, only the local disk for the windows, and i still get pop ups from MB with 'blocked acces to a potential malcious website although i am mindining my own business on youtube.(no toolbars or peer to peer soft. on my pc), i even reinstalled google chrome( unininstaling it with revo)a dozen. of rimes already.. and all i got from all the scans was zero..

dds.scr & dds.com don't work, i leave them alone for 14h and they still say 'two logs will be created on your desktop'...

I have remade my account here 3 times (3rd on my iphone) cause it allways said incorrect just to make this post (on my iphone, yeah.. i am that paranoid..)

i must say i have great respect for all you people out the who spend their 4 minutes helping/reading other guys topic.. i don't have much hope for this so i want to see what else i can do before i delete all my good old times pic/music/vids/games etc with a (probably useless format) of my disk aswell..

PC: windows 7 32 bit service pack 1

ram 2gb

intel core 2 quad cpu Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2.40GHz

GeForce 9300 GE

thank you

Below I have included a number of recommendations for how to protect your computer against malware infections.

• It is good security practice to change your passwords to all your online accounts on a fairly regular basis, this is especially true after an infection. Refer to this Microsoft article
  Strong passwords: How to create and use them Then consider a password keeper, to keep all your passwords safe. KeePass is a small utility that allows you to manage all your passwords.
  
• Keep Windows updated by regularly checking their website at :
  http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
  This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.
  
• Make Internet Explorer more secure
  
  • Click Start > Run
    
  • Type Inetcpl.cpl & click OK
    
  • Click on the Security tab
    
  • Click Reset all zones to default level
    
  • Make sure the Internet Zone is selected & Click Custom level
    
  • In the ActiveX section, set the first two options ("Download signed and unsigned ActiveX controls) to "Prompt", and ("Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe") to "Disable".
    
  • Next Click OK, then Apply button and then OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
    

  [*]Download TFC to your desktop

  • Close any open windows.
    
  • Double click the TFC icon to run the program
    
  • TFC will close all open programs itself in order to run,
    
  • Click the Start button to begin the process.
    
  • Allow TFC to run uninterrupted.
    
  • The program should not take long to finish it's job
    
  • Once its finished it should automatically reboot your machine,
    
  • if it doesn't, manually reboot to ensure a complete clean
    

  It's normal after running TFC cleaner that the PC will be slower to boot the first time.

  [*]WOT, Web of Trust, warns you about risky websites that try to scam visitors, deliver malware or send spam.

Thank you for your patience, and performing all of the procedures requested.

Please respond one last time so we can consider the thread resolved and close it, thank-you.

I don't have Combofix to uninstall, and i've been using Lastpass as a password keeper, you think it is good enough ?

Before you go, can you tell me, would it be a good idea to use TFC as a once in a while cleaning tool ?

Everything else is done.

Thank you for your time spent with my issue, ☺ i wish you the best :*

[CatByte]

Hello

yes, it's a good idea to run TFC every once in a while,

Lastpass if fine

stay safe
