Looks like I have an issue... I have enclosed the files from dds.

 

Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials scan both show no issues.

 

Also, tdsskiller came back with nothing.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
my name is Marius and I will be assisting you with your Malware related problems.

Before we move on, please read the following points carefully.

• First, read my instructions completely. If there is anything that you do not understand kindly ask before proceeding.
• Perform everything in the correct order. Sometimes one step requires the previous one.
• If you have any problems while you are follow my instructions, Stop there and tell me the exact nature of your problem.
• Do not run any other scans without instruction or Add/ Remove Software unless I tell you to do so. This would change the output of our tools and could be confusing for me.
• Post all Logfiles as a reply rather than as an attachment unless I specifically ask you. If you can not post all logfiles in one reply, feel free to use more posts.
• If I don't hear from you within 3 days from this initial or any subsequent post, then this thread will be closed.
• Stay with me. I will give you some advice about prevention after the cleanup process. Absence of symptoms does not always mean the computer is clean.
• My first language is not english. So please do not use slang or idioms. It could be hard for me to read. Thanks for your understanding.

 
 
 
 
Scan with Gmer rootkit scanner

Please download Gmer from here by clicking on the "Download EXE" Button.

• Double click on the randomly named GMER.exe. If asked to allow gmer.sys driver to load, please consent.
• If it gives you a warning about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run scan...click on NO.
• In the right panel, you will see several boxes that have been checked. Uncheck the following ...
  
  • Sections
  • IAT/EAT
  • Show All ( should be unchecked by default )
    

  [*]Leave everything else as it is. [*]Close all other running programs as well as your Browser. [*]Click the Scan button & wait for it to finish. [*]Once done click on the Save.. button, and in the File name area, type in "ark.txt" or it will save as a .log file which cannot be uploaded to your post. [*]Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop. [*]Please post the content of the ark.txt here.
  

**Caution**
Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries

[RickRepsher]

Marius,

 

I ran the scan (gmer.exe) and I have attached the output as ark.txt as you requested.

 

Thank you,

 

Rick

Combofix

Combofix should only be run when adviced by a team member!

Link


Important - Save the file to your desktop!

• Deactivate any and all of your antivirus programs /spyware scanners - they can prevent CF from doing its work.
• Run Combofix.exe
  

When finished, Combofix creates a log file named C:\Combofix.txt. Please post its content in your next reply.

Note: When receiving an error message containing ""Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion" simply restart your computer to fix this.

[RickRepsher]

Marius,

 

I saved the file to my desktop, and the first time I tried to run it, my computer rebooted after about 5 minutes.  I shut my computer down and restarted, used task manager to kill my open programs (I am using Microsoft Security Essentials, and I think that is the only way to shut it down... even then ComboFix reported that it was running.)

 

I ran ComboFix again and it seemed to process completely.  I have attached the output file.

 

Thanks,

 

Rick

[RickRepsher]

Sorry... I clicked the wrong button

Combofix scripting

1. Close any open browsers.

2. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

3. Download the attached CFScript.txt and save it to the location where Combofix is.





Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe

When finished, it shall produce a log for you at C:\ComboFix.txt which I will require in your next reply.

CFScript.txt

[RickRepsher]

Marius,

 

First off... is my computer supposed to reboot at stage 50 something?  It did.

 

Anyway, the output is attached.

 

Thank you,

How to protect yourself
 

• System Updates
  Beeing up to date is very important. Please be sure to activate automatic updates in your control panel.
  Windows XP | Windows Vista |
  Windows 7 | windows 8
• Protection
  What you need is one (not more) good virus scanner with backgroud protection. Additionally I recommend a special malwarescanner that you run from time to time.
  Personally I am using the avast! Antivirus Free Edition and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. They offer you good protection for free use. But please remember: You get only the full protection if you use the payed versions of your security software.
• Up to date Software
  Stay up to date with all the programs you use. Some of those really have to have an eye on are: your browser(s) including add-ons and plug-ins, Java, Flash Player, your virus scanner, and basically every software you use often. These link may help you to check:
  • Secunia Online Software Inspector - Checks if your software has updates available.
  • Filehippo Update Checkere - This tool also scans your computer for outdated software.
  • Mozilla: Check your plugins - The webpage will tell you if you have outdated plugins in your Firefox browser.
• Backups
  There are chances for an emergency every day. So be prepared. Back up your data on a regular basis. If you burn it to DVDs from time to time, use a cloud-drive or a professional network backup system is your choice.
• Brains
  It's no joke! You really need one of those things. It is very important not just to click anywhere it is colored or flashing while you surfing on the web. Do not click an OK button on any popping window without reading what it says. While installing software always choose the custom mode, read what those windows says and uncheck adware that will be installed along the software you want.

[RickRepsher]

Marius,

 

Thank you for you assistance.  I actually am an IT professional, so I am curious as to what you found.

 

Also, interestingly enough, when I run Acrobat Reader and tell it to check for updates, it says that AR is up to date.  Same thing for the Java Checker.  I do try to always keep everything up to date.

 

Once again, thank you!

 

Rick
