Virus


Recommended Posts

HI,  I have seemed to downloaded a virus today.  I keep scanning with malware bytes and every time it comes up with more identified threats.  Also I continuously get the popup for websites being blocked in the lower right hand corner.  Chrome did not want to work or Microsoft edge.  I reinstalled chrome and currently am able to use it.

Hi Kevin, Thanks for your quick reply and help last night.  The first 3 of the 4 task you wanted me to do and the text files are below.  The last one, Sophos, is still running since last night.  It shows it is still going thru files, so I am thinking it just takes this long.  If not let me know what to do.  I am no longer getting the website blocking pop continuously, but the computer itself is sluggish.  If I try to open some problems, outlook, malware, they either dont open or take a long time to do so.

 

Thanks

Hello Donna67,

Yes your system was awash with malware/infection, we have moved most with FRST, AdwCleaner and Malwarebytes have also done their bit. Lets wait for Sophos to finish, it is a very thorough scan so can take several hours to complete...

One other point, I asked that you enable scan for rootkits with Malwarebytes, that was not done....?

When Sophos completes post its log, I will want to run couple more scans after you post log from Sophos..

Thank you,

Kevin...

It wasnt really frozen as sophos was still running, just the bottom taskbar was missing and screen was black.  I went into the taskmanager, choose file and run new task, entered explorer and it came back up.  sophos is still running looks about 80% done, probably another 3-4 hrs, I am guessing.  it shows 0 threats at this point

Thanks for you help, really appreciate it.  I am thinking I might of messed up.  When I was finished with Rogyekiller the last time, I think there where 7 threats found, and I deleted them.  I'm getting the feeling that is what you are wanting me to deleted after I run it again.  I am correct?  Sorry

I only wanted the two web browser entries removing, the other five entries were legitimate and could have been left alone... Is no big deal if you`removed them, we may have to reinstall printer software but is no big deal...

Lets move on, run FRSt and post the two fresh logs..... you`re system was initially awash with malware/infection, lets see what the logs show..

Thank you,

Kevin
