gum3rdm Posted July 10, 2013 ID:701116 Share Posted July 10, 2013 my pc ( windows XP sp 2)recently was infected by unknown virus from an infected thumb drive. cannot clean the virus because no anti virus and anti malware was installed. VIRUS BEHAVIOR the virus disables all the admin privileges ( regedit, task manager, folder options, literally all admin tools will automatically close if i opened it. )the virus will not allow safe mode( in safe mode, with networking and command prompt)the virus will change the folder to .exe file type ( some essential folders like the directory of my download will automatically close if opened. )the virus will not allow the installation of anti virus, anti rootkit and anti malware programs ( windows security and 3rd party )the virus will infect other pc ( though only shared folders are the only ones being attempted to be infected.) through router ( but my other pc had anti virus installed in it so no problem blocking the virus. )lastly the virus slows down my pc ( but it will only last for 10-20mins and my pc will return to normal speed after the 20mins slow down. ) and if i will shutdown my pc after the 20mins slowdown it will ask to force end SOCKET_WINDOWS service ( if i shutdown my pc earlier between the 10-20mins slowdown timeframe it will just shutdown normally without asking force end of SOCKET_WINDOWS. ) I hope someone will diagnose what is happening and a fix for it.

MrCharlie Posted July 11, 2013 ID:701420 Share Posted July 11, 2013 It would be better to run RogueKiller first: Please download and run RogueKiller 32 Bit to your desktop. RogueKiller 64 Bit <---use this one for 64 bit systems Quit all running programs. For Windows XP, double-click to start. For Vista or Windows 7-8, do a right-click on the program, select Run as Administrator to start, & when prompted Allow to run. Click Scan to scan the system. When the scan completes > Close out the program > Don't Fix anything! Don't run any other options, they're not all bad!!!!!!! Post back the report which should be located on your desktop. (please don't put logs in code or quotes) MrC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
