TDSSKiller.3.0.0.19_13.01.2014_15.22.13_log.txtTDSSKiller.3.0.0.19_13.01.2014_15.26.10_log.txt

 

Here are the logs from today. I did follow you instructions and download the lastest version today.

 

I had run program previously on Jan 4th with the following results:

 

I ran Microsoft Security Scanner first.  It took 20 hours.  It found Virus:DOS/Rovnix.V in PhysicalDrive0/Partition0.  It tried to clean the file but failed so the state was partially removed.
 
I then download and ran TDSSKiller and it found and  "cured" RootKit.Boot.Cidox.b in device Harddisk0/DR0/Partition1

OK, that was clean....

Download aswMBR to your desktop.

Double click the aswMBR.exe to run it.

If you see this question: Would you like to download latest Avast! virus definitions?" say "NO".

Click the "Scan" button to start scan.

On completion of the scan click "Save log", save it to your desktop and post in your next reply.

NOTE. aswMBR will create MBR.dat file on your desktop. This is a copy of your MBR. Do NOT delete it.

Please zip it up and attach it to your next post.

That's all OK.....next:

Please download and run ComboFix.

The most important things to remember when running it is to disable all your malware programs and run Combofix from your desktop.

bleep-crop.jpg

Ensure you have disabled all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

Information on disabling your malware programs can be found Here.

Make sure you run ComboFix from your desktop.

Give it at least 30-45 minutes to finish if needed.

Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply for further review.

---------->NOTE<----------

If you get the message Illegal operation attempted on registry key that has been marked for deletion after you run ComboFix....please reboot the computer, this should resolve the problem. You may have to do this several times if needed.

Using ComboFix......

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, place it next to ComboFix.exe

CFScript.gif

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

CAUTION: Do not mouse-click ComboFix while it is running. It may cause it to stall.

After reboot, (in case it asks to reboot)......

Please provide the contents of the ComboFix log (C:\ComboFix.txt) in your next reply.

That is a Microsoft file used for an application I run.  I can delete it if you wish but what do I do about the Net32.exe windows popping up all in command windows over the place?  Is that a virus?  Please advise.

 

And how should I delete the key now?  Rerun AdwCleaner?

More on the topic.  I booted to safe mode, reran AdwCleaner and got rid of secman.dll.  The pop up appears to be Net.Exe and a windows installer keeps coming and going.  I also see that the Norton Ghost icon in the tray has a red slash through it.  I ran a quick scan in Malwarebytes and it did not find anything. I turned the computer back off and am waiting for your response. 

 

Thanks!

It actually belongs to Babylon Toolbar which is adware:

Also there's no files in the registry, just directions/instructions.

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

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

Net.exe command window keep popping around?

From what I know it's related to Norton Ghost, there's also many errors in your logs referring to it.

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


Download the attached fixlist.txt to the same folder as FRST.
Run FRST.exe and click Fix only once and wait
The tool will create a log (Fixlog.txt) in the folder, please post it to your reply.

Let me know....MrC
