Computer infected


Recommended Posts

Respected Sir,

Iam Redhood.

The problem with my Laptop is it gets Hanged , Mouse doesn't work unless pressed windows key and Continuous Asterick ********* sign appears in search bars.

These signs started yesterday.

I had given my laptop to my friend for work, but he doesn't seem to have downloaded anything, I did ask him. There are no files in download section apart from regular files which I used for my work.

Kindly guide me

I have already downloaded Malware bytes and scanning for it. Malware bytes did not detect anything.

So I have downloaded FRST.

Here are the Logs:

FRST.txt

Not able to Upload Addition.txt  file due to some error -200

 

Thank you

Excellent, run the following to clean up:

Download "Delfix by Xplode" and save it to your desktop.

Or use the following if first link is down:

"Delfix link mirror"

If your security program alerts to Delfix either, accept the alert or turn your security off.

Double Click to start the program. If you are using Vista or higher, please right-click and choose run as administrator

Make Sure the following items are checked:


  •    
  • Remove disinfection tools <--- This will remove tools we have used.
       
  • Purge System Restore <--- this will remove all previous and possibly exploited restore points, a new point relative to system status at present will be created.
       
  • Reset system settings   <--- this will reset any system settings back to default that were changed either by us during cleansing or malware/infection

Now click on "Run" and wait patiently until the tool has completed.

The tool will create a log when it has completed. We don't need you to post this.

Any remnant files/logs from tools we have used can be deleted…
