The "General P2P/Piracy Warning" is given to everyone and not directed at any particular person.

Lets run some scans:

Make sure you have created a restore point and.....

Download Delfix from Here and save it to your desktop.

• Place a check mark in front of .......
• Create registry backup <---only!
• Uncheck the rest!
• Click the Run button.

  Close the tool out when it's done....we'll use it later.

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

  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.

  Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running ComboFix

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/combofix/dl/12/ <---ComboFix direct download

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

  

  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.

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

  Next:

  Please download AdwCleaner from HERE or HERE to your desktop.

  • 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 either 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.
  Next..................

  Please download, install, update and run a "Threat Scan" with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:

  http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php <-------download from here only

Looks Good....

How is it???

MrC

[ian73]

thank you very much it looks all clean.

 

• Create registry backup <---only!
• Uncheck the rest!
• Click the Run button.
  
  Close the tool out when it's done....we'll use it later.

Q1: are we gonna use this software again?

 

Q2: to me it appeared like the only indication that i was infected was from java update. i couldn't see any infection during any of the scans i made. and no other software showed up iqs.exe as a threat. can we clarify what we cleaned off my computer during this process?

Q1: are we gonna use this software again?

Yes, we'll use it to clean up all the tools and logs.

Q2: to me it appeared like the only indication that i was infected was from java update. i couldn't see any infection during any of the scans i made. and no other software showed up iqs.exe as a threat. can we clarify what we cleaned off my computer during this process?

Yes you're clean.

If there's no other problems.......

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!!!

Out dated programs on the system are vulnerable to malware.
Please update or uninstall them:

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

Internet Explorer 6 Out of date! <----please visit Windows Update to get the latest version of IE

Java 7 Update 67 <----this is correct version
Java version out of Date!

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

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. (it may look like CF is re-installing but it's not)
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)

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

Download Delfix from here and save it to your desktop. (you may already have this)

• Ensure Remove disinfection tools is checked.
• Click the Run button.
• Reboot

Any other programs or logs that are still remaining, 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.

If you think I've helped you, please leave a comment > click on my avatar picture > click Profile Feed.
