I seemed to have picked up something through Flash via Firefox.  Malwarebytes reported Trojan.Agent (log attached), \Adobe\gtbcheck.exe

 

I've followed some of the most recent instructions found on this site, but my system continues to be unstable.

 

Here are the steps I've taken so far:

 

1) I run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware daily.  It is up-to-date and it finds no malware.  I run it with the required settings selected (Open Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, from the Dashboard please Check for Updates by clicking the Update Now... link  When the update completes select > Settings > Detection and Protection > Enable Scan for rootkit and Under Non Malware Protection set both PUP and PUM to Treat detections as malware.)

 

2) I ran Junkware Removal Tool.  It found already Norton Internet Security quarantined items, namely PuP.  

 

3) I downloaded and ran the latest Norton Power Eraser.  System rebooted and then ran the scan.  No malware found.

 

4) I downloaded and ran RogueKiller.  This is the only scanner that has found anything.  It reported AntiRootKit as follows:

¤¤¤ Antirootkit : 1 (Driver: Not loaded [0xc000036b]) ¤¤¤
[iAT:Inl] (firefox.exe) xul.dll - NS_Free : C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\mozalloc.dll @ 0x577d130a (jmp dword near [0x56a64a3c])
 
That brings me to this forum for help.
 
 
Other notes:
I uninstalled Intel Extreme Tuning Utility as RogueKiller hung on it when scanning.  Since I dont use it anymore,  removed it.  Even though uninstalled, it seemed to leave behind IOCBIOS.
 
My system behavior is:
- System freezes for 2-4 seconds periodically.  
- I run out of memory running applications that used to run just fine
- Choppy system performance 
- BSOD on some drivers that haven't changed, namely the windows file driver and ati display driver (which I updated recently to see if that helped, and it did not).
 
Your help would be appreciated.
 
Thanks!

Hello,
    
 
They call me TwinHeadedEagle around here, and I'll be working with you.
 
     
    
Before we start please read and note the following:

  • Limit your internet access to posting here, some infections just wait to steal typed-in passwords.
  • Please be patient. I know it is frustrating when your PC isn't working properly, but malware removal takes time.
  • Don't run any scripts or tools on your own, unsupervised usage may cause more harm than good.
  • Do not paste the logs in your posts, attachments make my work easier. There is a More reply options button, that gives you Upload Files option below which you can use to attach your reports. Always attach reports from all tools.
  • Always execute my instructions in given order. If for some reason you cannot completely follow one instruction, inform me about that.
  • Stay with me to the end, the absence of symptoms doesn't mean that your machine is fully operational.
  • Note that we may live in totally different time zones, what may cause some delays between answers.
  • Do not ask for help for your business PC. Companies are making revenue via computers, so it is good thing to pay someone to repair it.
  • If I don't hear from you within 3 days from this initial or any subsequent post, then this thread will be closed.

:excl: I can't foresee everything, so if anything unexpected happens, please stop and inform me!
:excl: There are no silly questions. Never be afraid to ask if in doubt!

The Importance of Software Updating:

 

 
In order to stay protected it is very important that you regularly update all of your software. Cybercriminals depend on the apathy of users around software updates to keep their malicious endeavor running.
 
Operating systems, such as Windows, and applications, such as Adobe Reader or JAVA, are used by tens of millions of computers and devices around the world, making them a huge target for cybercriminals. Downloading updates and installing them can sometimes be tedious, but the advantages you get from the updates are certainly worth it.

Recommended additional software:

 
 
icon_arrow.gifTFC - to clean unneeded temporary files.
icon_arrow.gifMalwarebytes' Anti-Malware - to scan your system from time to time in search for malware.
icon_arrow.gifMalwarebytes' Anti-Exploit - to prevent plenty of mostly exploited vulnerabilities.
icon_arrow.gifMcShield - to prevent infections spread by removable media.
icon_arrow.gifUnchecky - to prevent from installing additional foistware, implemented in legitimate installations.
icon_arrow.gifAdblock - to surf the web without annoying ads! 
 
 

Post-cleanup procedures:

 

 
Download DelFix by Xplode and save it to your desktop.

  • Run the tool by right click on the 51a5ce45263de-delfix.png icon and Run as administrator option.
  • Make sure that these ones are checked:
    • Remove disinfection tools
    • Purge system restore
    • Reset system settings
  • Push Run.
  • The program will run for a few seconds and display a notepad report. You do not need to attach it.

The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.

System still periodically freezes for 4-5 seconds, although much less often. Also, Revo shows two installed hidden applications that are unknown to me: BL and PH. Malware-Anti-Root, Norton and Malwarebytes find nothing. Most recent logs attached.

 

Any ideas?

 

Notes: Uninstalled/Reinstalled Carbonite.  Couldn't delete desktop/mbar folder as system reports need permissions from user\james, which is who I'm logged in as.
