  • Ensure that Combofix is saved directly to the Desktop <--- Very important
     
  • Disable all security programs as they will have a negative effect on Combofix, instructions available here  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic114351.html if required. Be aware the list may not have all programs listed, if you need more help please ask.

****Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall or freeze ****

 

Note: ComboFix may reset a number of Internet Explorer's settings, including making it the default browser.

Note: Combofix prevents autorun of ALL CDs, floppies and USB devices to assist with malware removal & increase security. If this is an issue or makes it difficult for you -- please tell us when you reply. Read here  http://thespykiller.co.uk/index.php?page=20 why  disabling autoruns is recommended.

 

*EXTRA NOTES*


    If Combofix detects any Rootkit/Bootkit activity on your system it will give a warning and prompt for a reboot, you must allow it to do so.
    If Combofix reboot's due to a rootkit, the screen may stay black for several minutes on reboot, this is normal
    If after running Combofix you receive any type of warning message about registry key's being listed for deletion when trying to open certain items, reboot the system and this will fix the issue (Those items will not be deleted)

 

Post the logs in next reply please...

Malwarebytes Pro does not have any Antivirus component, does not give that protection. I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials, is free and will work good with Malwarebytes...

 

Get it here:

 

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/security-essentials-download

 

If all OK let me know when you want to clean up, remove tools etc...

OK if no more issues we can clean up:

 

Remove ESET Online Scanner (Only if installed)

 


Click Start, click Run, type control appwiz.cpl in the Open box, and then press ENTER.
Click to select ESET Online Scanner from the application list, and then click Remove. Only re-boot if prompted

 

Next,

 

Uninstall adwcleaner.exe

  •   Please close all open programs and internet browsers.
  •   Double click on adwcleaner.exe to run the tool.
  •   Click on Uninstall
  • Click Yes at Would you like to Uninstall Adwcleaner

 

Next,

 

Delete the following from the Desktop;

 

CKScanner, plus logs

RogueKiller, plus its folder RK_Quarantine

DDS, plus its logs

Security Checks, plus logs

 

Next,

 

Remove Combofix now that we're done with it


Please press the Windows Key and R on your keyboard. This will bring up the Run... command.
Now type in Combofix /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK. (Notice the space between the "x" and "/")
CF_Uninstall-1.jpg
 
Please follow the prompts to uninstall Combofix.
You will then receive a message saying Combofix was uninstalled successfully once it's done uninstalling itself.

The above procedure will delete the following:


    ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
    VundoFix backups, if present
    The C:_OtMoveIt folder, if present
    Reset the clock settings.
    Hide file extensions, if required.
    Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
    Reset System Restore.

 

It is very important that you get a successful uninstall because of the extra functions done at the same time, let me know if this does not happen.

 

Let me know if those steps complete OK, also if you have any remaining issues or concerns..

You`re very welcome....

 

If all is ok with no issues here are some tips to reduce the potential for malware infection in the future:

 

Make proper use of your antivirus and firewall

 

Antivirus and Firewall programs are integral to your computer security. However, just having them installed isn't enough. The definitions of these programs are frequently updated to detect the latest malware, if you don't keep up with these updates then you'll be vulnerable to infection. Many antivirus and firewall programs have automatic update features, make use of those if you can. If your program doesn't, then get in the habit of routinely performing manual updates, because it's important.

 

You should keep your antivirus and firewall guard enabled at all times, NEVER turn them off unless there's a specific reason to do so. Also, regularly performing a full system scan with your antivirus program is a good idea to make sure you're system remains clean. Once a week should be adequate. You can set the scan to run during a time when you don't plan to use the computer and just leave it to complete on its own.

 

Install and use WinPatrol from here http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html  This will inform you of any attempted unauthorized changes to your system.

 

WinPatrol features explained here http://www.winpatrol.com/features.html

 

Go here http://www.filehippo.com/updatechecker/ run the FileHippo Update Checker, update all applications as suggested by the Update Checker. Ignore any Beta updates. (Use stand alone version, not a full install)

If Java or Adobe are updated please check under Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, ensure any old versions are removed. <--- Very important

 

Use a safer web browser

 

Internet Explorer is not the most secure tool for browsing the web. It has been known to be very susceptible to infection, and there are a few good free alternatives:

 

FireFox http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/,

 

Opera http://www.opera.com/, and

 

Chrome http://www.google.com/chrome.

 

All of these are excellent faster, safer, more powerful and functional free alternatives to Internet Explorer. It's definitely worth the short period of adjustment to start using one of these. If you wish to continue using Internet Explorer, it would be a good idea to follow the tutorial here http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial102.html which will help you to make IE MUCH safer.

 

These browser add-ons will help to make your browser safer:

 

Web of Trust warns you about risky websites that try to scam visitors, deliver malware or send spam. WOT's color-coded icons show you ratings for 21 million websites, helping you avoid the dangerous ones:

 

Available for Firefox and Internet Explorer.

 

Green to go,

Yellow for caution, and

Red to stop.

 

 

Available for Firefox only. NoScript helps to block malicious scripts and in general gives you much better control over what types of things webpages can do to your computer while you're browsing.

 

These are just a couple of the most popular add-ons, if you're interested in more, take a look at this article:

http://browsers.about.com/od/addonsplugi2/tp/browser_security_privacy.htm

 

Here a couple of links by two security experts that will give some excellent tips and advice.

 

So how did I get infected in the first place by Tony Klein from here: http://www.spywareinfoforum.com/index.php?/topic/60955-so-how-did-i-get-infected-in-the-first-place/

 

How to prevent Malware by Miekiemoes from here: http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/prevention.html

 

Finally this link http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/38-free-antivirus-and-antispyware-software will give a comprehensive upto date list of free Security programs. To include - Antivirus, Antispyware, Firewall, Antimalware, Online scanners and rescue CD`s.

 

Don`t forget, the best form of defense is common sense. If you don`t recognize it, don`t open it. If something looks to good to be true, then it aint.

 

Let me know when its OK to close out your thread....

 

Take care,

 

Kevin
