2.1.6.1022 upgrade, startup & RTP issues-Malware_Removal

[tholland1]

Hi,  I am landing here as my system may be infected.  My thread/topic is here.  All 3 logs are attached here as well.  I have stopped uTorrent and also want to uninstall all IOBit defrag SW now that I see the posts on IP infringement.  I am just not sure if I should try to do this via Control Panel or whether there may be lingering bits of IOBit remaining after a standard CP removal? 

 

Thanks!

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.
Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.
  

Please attach it to your reply.

Hi, I ran the file and system rebooted - but still have the same condition where MBAM started up but RTP is disabled? The Fixlog.txt file is attached for review but the original file I downloaded is no longer in the directory with other files?  Not sure if it was autodeleted or not?  Thanks!

Reinstall MBAM

OK - reinstalled MBAM, dropped Asast! as it was melting down and coming up with huge #s of files that it prevented from loading in hardened mode.  I also dropped IOBit defrag based on the other info I read about them ripping off MB IP (I had no idea).  All good so far....but was there anything else in the logs that I need to be concerned about?  Free AV SW that works well with MBAM....is Bitdefender a good option?  Thanks!!

Logs doesn't show active infection  everything is OK. Bidifender is ok anrivirus.

IObit is uninstalled complete, it's crap program.

 

The following will implement some post-cleanup procedures:


Download DelFix by Xplode and save it to your desktop.

• Run the tool by right click on the icon and Run as administrator option.
• Make sure that these ones are checked:
  • Remove disinfection tools
  • Purge system restore
  • Reset system settings
• Push Run and wait until the tool completes his work.
• All tools we used should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:\DelFix.txt)

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.

Argus - I have run this and it has removed everything including old Hijackthis that I had from a separate issue a long time ago.  Log is attached.  The MBAM is running and no issues with RTP getting shut down so far so I think I am good.  Thanks again for your help!!
