fff5ee and dllhost keep poping up as blocked in Malwarebytes

[mcafeeja]

Please help,

 

I keep getting the Malwarebytes popup that tells me dllhost, fff5ee, and IP 95.215.1.57 are being blocked.  I looked around the net and it seems as though I have a virus. 

 

I would appreciate any help in removing and fixing this issue.

 

Thanks!

John

RKreport_SCN_10292014_152243.log

[MrCharlie]

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

Run FRST.exe/FRST64.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.

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

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]

Did you run FRST and can you post or attach the log, MrC

[mcafeeja]

Mr. C,

 

Sorry I did not run the fixlog first.  I ran the fixlog with FRST and attached is the log.  I also ran combofix again and attached that log. 

 

Sorry for the mistake. 

 

Thanks!

John

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

[mcafeeja]

Okay, I ran the FRST scan and attached are the logs.

Looks Good......How is it?????

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

[mcafeeja]

Mr. C,

 

The continuious Malwarebytes popups have stopped, thank you!  I will run the security check now and post the results as you've requested. 

 

Thanks!!!

John

[mcafeeja]

Mr. C,

 

I tried to copy and paste and it isn't working, I've tried numerous ways, perhaps I'm doing something wrong.  Would you like me to attach the checkup log?

 

Thanks!

John 

[MrCharlie]

Attach it and I'll post it, MrC

[mcafeeja]

Mr. C,

 

Attached is the checkup log. 

 

We've now been using this computer for several hours and it appears to be working well.  Thank you!!

[MrCharlie]

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

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

Java 7 Update 67 <-----please uninstall from your Programs and Features

Download and install the latest version (Java™ 8 Update 25) 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.
