[MrCharlie]

Lets run some scans:

• Create registry backup <---only!
• Uncheck the rest!

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

  ====================

  Download the attached fixlist.txt to the same folder as FRST.exe/FRST64.exe.

  The tool will create a log (Fixlog.txt) in the folder, please post it to your reply.

  ===================

  Make sure you have created that system restore point before you continue!

  Please read the directions carefully so you don't end up deleting something that is good!!

  If in doubt about an entry....please ask or choose Skip!!!!

  Don't Delete anything unless instructed to!

  If you get the warning about a file UnsignedFile.Multi.Generic or LockedFile.Multi.Generic please choose

  Skip and click on Continue

  If a suspicious object is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue

  Please note that TDSSKiller can be run in safe mode if needed.

  Please download the latest version of TDSSKiller from HERE and save it to your Desktop.

  • Doubleclick on TDSSKiller.exe to run the application, then click on Change parameters. (Leave the KSN box checked)

    

  • Put a checkmark beside loaded modules.

    

  • A reboot will be needed to apply the changes. Do it.
  • TDSSKiller will launch automatically after the reboot. Also your computer may seem very slow and unusable. This is normal. Give it enough time to load your background programs.
  • Then click on Change parameters in TDSSKiller.
  • Check all boxes then click OK.

    

  • Click the Start Scan button.

    

  • The scan should take no longer than 2 minutes.
  • If a suspicious object is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue.

    

    Any entries like this: \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 ( TDSS File System ) - please choose Skip.

    If in doubt about an entry....please ask or choose Skip

  • If malicious objects are found, they will show in the Scan results - Select action for found objects and offer three options.

    Ensure Cure (default) is selected, then click Continue > Reboot now to finish the cleaning process.

    

    Note: If Cure is not available, please choose Skip instead, do not choose Delete unless instructed.

  • A report will be created in your root directory, (usually C:\ folder) in the form of "TDSSKiller.[Version]_[Date]_[Time]_log.txt". Please copy and paste the contents of that file here. There may be 3 logs > so post or attach all of them.
  • Sometimes these logs can be very large, in that case please attach it or zip it up and attach it.

  Here's a summary of what to do if you would like to print it out:

  If in doubt about an entry....please ask or choose Skip

  Don't Delete anything unless instructed to!

  If a suspicious object is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue

  If you get the warning about a file UnsignedFile.Multi.Generic or LockedFile.Multi.Generic please choose

  You can attach the logs if they're too long:

  Bottom right corner of this page.

  

  New window that comes up.

  

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

  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.

[MrCharlie]

Looks Good....

Would you like to check for any adware that may be on your computer while you're here???

MrC

[aro98]

Hello,

 

Yes... it's running really smooth.  I'm using this client for gaming (curse client) it seems it was deleted but I'm afraid to launch it lol Also, Do I have to keep those programs I downloaded or can they be discarded ?

 

Thank you

[MrCharlie]

It was "killed" by RogueKiller, if it's gone then look in the quarantine folder created by RogueKiller.

¤¤¤ Processes : 1 ¤¤¤

[suspicious.Path] CurseClient.exe -- C:\Users\Ivan\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\784W0BCY.Q8M\228QEVM0.16O\curs..tion_9e9e83ddf3ed3ead_0005.0001_36a9b62a0ea0a2ec\CurseClient.exe[-] -> Killed [TermProc]

MrC

[aro98]

Was curse client the culprid?

[MrCharlie]

That's not the correct path for CurseClient.exe

http://www.systemlookup.com/search.php?type=filename&client=malwaresearch-chrome&search=CurseClient.exe

Did you look in the quarantine folder as I asked??

Is it there??

Re-scan with FRST and Make sure the Addition Box is checked.

Post or attach the 2 logs FRST(64).txt and Addition.txt

MrC

[aro98]

When it restarted it looked funny on my desktop, I uninstalled through control panel.  I rerun FRST and I'm attaching the 2 files

FRST.txt

Addition.txt

[MrCharlie]

Here's the only sign of it in your log:
Startup: C:\Users\Ivan\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\CurseClientStartup.ccip ()

You can re-install it if needed.

The other one "killed" by RogueKiller is gone.

 

==============

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!!!

MrC

[aro98]

[MrCharlie]

MrC

[aro98]

One last question if you dont' mind. When I boot up it's kinda slow launching internet explorer should I reset my router?

You can reset IE and see if that makes a difference:
http://www.thewindowsclub.com/reset-internet-explorer-settings

=============================


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

============================

Java 7 Update 67 <----please update, should be Update 71

Go to control panel > Java > Update Tab > Update Now
Uncheck the box to install the Ask toolbar!!!, McAfee Security Scan Plus or any other free "stuff".

If there's no update tab in Java, uninstall it and Download and install the latest version from Here
Uncheck the box to install the Ask toolbar!!!, McAfee Security Scan Plus or any other free "stuff".

==========================

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.
