Hi and Welcome!!   

 

My name is Jeff. I would be more than happy to take a look at your malware results logs and help you with solving any malware problems you might have. Logs can take a while to research, so please be patient and know that I am working hard to get you a clean and functional system back in your hands. I'd be grateful if you would note the following:

 

  • The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for the issues on this machine.

It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference.

If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to say or ask!! It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.

Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.

If you happen to have a flash drive/thumb drive please have that ready in the event that we need to use it.

Please be sure to subscribe to the topic if you have not already done so.


IMPORTANT NOTE : Please do not delete, download or install anything unless instructed to do so.

DO NOT use any TOOLS such as Combofix or HijackThis fixes without supervision. Doing so could make your system inoperable and could require a full reinstall of your operating system and losing all your programs and data.

 

Having said that....   YBCQLm4.gif   Let's get going!!

You say Malwarebytes can not remove it?  Could you post the log showing what it is please?  If you need to, run Malwarebytes again and get a fresh log.  :)

next time i get a virus i will just go super sayian

:lol:  :lol:  :lol:

 

Providing there are no other malware related problems...

 

IT APPEARS THAT YOUR LOGS ARE NOW CLEAN  

 

This infection appears to have been cleaned, but I can not give you any absolute guarantees.  As a precaution, I would go ahead and change all of your passwords as this is especially important after an infection.

----------

 

The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

 

Press the Windows key + R and this will open the Run text box.  Copy/paste the following text into the Run box as shown and click OK.

  Combofix /Uninstall

  (Note: There is a space between the ..X and the /U that needs to be there.)

81mYIKe.jpgAdwCleaner

 

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

  • Click on the Uninstall button.
  • Click Yes when asked are you sure you want to uninstall.
  • Both AdwCleaner.exe, its folder and all logs will be removed.

----------

 

Any of the logs that you created for use in the forums or remaining tools that have not yet been removed can be deleted so they aren't cluttering up your desktop. If you did not have Malwarebytes Antimalware before, I would keep it and run it weekly.

----------

 

Here are some tips to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future:

 

1. Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:

  • From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
  • Click once on the Security tab
  • Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
  • Click once on the Custom Level button.
  • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
  • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
  • Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
  • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
  • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
  • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
  • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
  • If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
  • Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.

2. FireFox  If you use Firefox, I recommend installing the following add-ons to help make your Firefox browser more secure:

NoScript

AdBlock Plus 

 

3. Use and update an anti-virus software - I can not overemphasize the need for you to use and update your anti-virus application on a regular basis.  With the ever increasing number of new variants of malware arriving on the scene daily, you become very susceptible to an attack without updated protection.

 

4. Firewall

Using a third-party firewall will allow you to give/deny access for applications that want to go online. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.   **There are firewalls that could be downloaded and used but I would personally only recommend using one of the following two below:

Online Armor Free

Agnitum Outpost Firewall Free

 

5. Make sure you keep your Windows OS current.  Windows XP users can visit Windows update  regularly to download and install any critical updates and service packs. Windows Vista/7 users can open the Start menu > All Programs > Windows Update > Check for Updates (in left hand task pane) to update these systems.  Without these you are leaving the back door open.

 

6. WOT (Web of Trust) As "Googling" is such an integral part of internet life, this free browser add on warns you about risky websites that try to scam visitors, deliver malware or send spam. It is especially helpful when browsing or searching in unfamiliar territory. WOT's color-coded icons show you ratings for 21 million websites, helping you avoid the dangerous sites.  WOT has an add-on available for Firefox, Internet Explorer as well as Google Chrome.

 

7. Finally, I strongly recommend that you read Miekiemoes' great advice How to prevent malware.

 

Please reply to this thread once more if you are satisfied so that we can mark the problem as resolved.
