scorpion saver help

[mymonsters5]

I could really use some help getting this bug off my computer.

[MrCharlie]

Welcome to the forum.

Try this procedure:

Lets clean out any adware/spyware now: (this will require a reboot so save all your work)

Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode and save to your Desktop.

Make sure you click on download buttons that look similar to this, not "sponsored ad links":

• Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool.

  Vista/Windows 7/8 users right-click and select Run As Administrator

• Click on the Scan button.
• AdwCleaner will begin...be patient as the scan may take some time to complete.
• When it's done you'll see: Pending: Please uncheck elements you don't want removed.
• Now click on the Report button...a logfile (AdwCleaner[R0].txt) will open in Notepad for review.
• Look over the log especially under Files/Folders for any program you want to save.
• If there's a program you may want to save, just uncheck it from AdwCleaner.
• If you're not sure, post the log for review. (all items found are adware/spyware/foistware)
• If you're ready to clean it all up.....click the Clean button.
• After rebooting, a logfile report (AdwCleaner[s0].txt) will open automatically.
• Copy and paste the contents of that logfile in your next reply.
• A copy of that logfile will also be saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder.
• Items that are deleted are moved to the Quarantine Folder: C:\AdwCleaner\Quarantine
• To restore an item that has been deleted:
• Go to Tools > Quarantine Manager > check what you want restored > now click on Restore.

Then..................

Open up Malwarebytes > Settings Tab > Scanner Settings > Under action for PUP > Select: Show in Results List and Check for removal.

Please Update and run a Full Scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, post the report.

Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.

Please let me know how computer is running now, MrC

[mymonsters5]

Sorry, for some reason it wasn't wanting to copy and paste the results into the browser.

AdwCleanerS1.txt

[mymonsters5]

This is the malewarebytes report

mbam-log-2013-12-26 (20-39-26).txt

[MrCharlie]

OK, lets make sure we got it all:

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to a folder. (use correct version for your system.....Which system am I using?)

Please make sure you click download buttons that look similar to this, not "sponsored ad links":

• Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
• Press Scan button.
• It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please copy and paste it to your reply.
• The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

If the logs are large, you can attach them:

To attach a log:

Bottom right corner of this page.

New window that comes up.

Sorry I didn't get this done yesterday.

Addition.txt

FRST.txt

[MrCharlie]

How is it???  MrC

[mymonsters5]

Scorpion Saver still shows up in my programs list.

[MrCharlie]

Please download SystemLook from the link below and save it to your Desktop.

http://jpshortstuff.247fixes.com/SystemLook_x64.exe

• Double-click SystemLook.exe to run it.
• Copy the content of the following codebox into the main textfield:

  :regfindScorpion

• Click the Look button to start the scan.
• When finished, a notepad window will open with the results of the scan. Please post this log in your next reply.

Note: The log can also be found on your Desktop entitled SystemLook.txt

MrC

[mymonsters5]

Done

SystemLook.txt

[MrCharlie]

Please backup the registry with ERUNT before continuing:

http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/208859-backing-up-the-registry-using-erunt/

Now download and unzip mym.zip (mym.reg)

Now double click on it and allow it to merge into the registry.

Reboot and it should be gone.

MrC

[mymonsters5]

I don't see it anymore in the uninstall programs list.  I did each of the steps in your last instructions but after the restart it said that it didn't actually backup the registry.

[MrCharlie]

That's OK as long as it's gone.

Lets check your computers security before you go and we have a little cleanup to do also:

Download Security Check by screen317 from HERE or HERE.

• Save it to your Desktop.
• Double click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
• If you get Unsupported operating system. Aborting now, just reboot and try again.
• A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt.
• Please Post the contents of that document.
• Do Not Attach It!!!

Looks Good.....

A little clean up to do....

Please Uninstall ComboFix: (if you used it)

Press the Windows logo key + R to bring up the "run box"

Copy and paste next command in the field:

ComboFix /uninstall

Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /

Then hit enter.

This will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files, hide file extensions, hide the system/hidden files and clears System Restore cache and create new Restore point

(If that doesn't work.....you can simply rename ComboFix.exe to Uninstall.exe and double click it to complete the uninstall or download and run the uninstaller)

---------------------------------

Please download OTC to your desktop. (This will clean up most of the tools and logs)

http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/OTC.exe

Double-click OTC to run it. (Vista and up users, please right click on OTC and select "Run as an Administrator")

Click on the CleanUp! button and follow the prompts.

(If you get a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTC attempting to contact the Internet, please allow the connection.)

You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the Cleanup process, choose Yes.

After the reboot all the tools we used should be gone.

Note: Some more recently created tools may not yet be removed by OTC. Feel free to manually delete any tools it leaves behind.

Any other programs or logs you can manually delete. (right click.....Delete)

IE: RogueKiller.exe, RKreport.txt, RK_Quarantine folder, C:\FRST folder, FRST-OlderVersion folder, MBAR folder, etc....AdwCleaner > just run the program and click uninstall.

Note:

If you used FRST and can't delete the quarantine folder:

Download the fixlist.txt to the same folder as FRST.exe.

Run FRST.exe and click Fix only once and wait

That will delete the quarantine folder created by FRST.

The rest you can manually delete.

-------------------------------

Any questions...please post back.

Take a look at My Preventive Maintenance to avoid being infected again.

Good Luck and Thanks for using the forum, MrC

conime.exe showed up in my start files the other day and I don't remember it being there before. I know that this is a part of windows but I also know that there is maleware or a trojan that takes its place. How can I find out if what I have is actually part of windows and not maleware?

[mymonsters5]

Also on my last malewarebytes scan, the results show 4 files for pup.optional.conduit. Is this something I should be worried about?

Do a search for it and then upload each one found to VirusTotal for a free scan:

No

[mymonsters5]

Thank you. I actually had those last two questions as a different post because it was on a different computer.

[MrCharlie]

OK....Take care MrC
