Got a virus that is preventing malwarebytes from starting.


Recommended Posts

Got Windows Update and BITS started.

There are some more services that are disabled that I'm not sure if I should enable or not.

Also, Windows Firewall is refusing to start in a similar fashion to how Windows Defender and Windows Security Center would not.

 

Edit: Obviously I needed to enable the Windows Firewall Service there, so that works now. But like I said I'm not sure about the others.

New Problem:

Now that Windows Firewall is reenabled, it is stopping some of my applications from working properly. For example, I tried starting League of Legends and It shows a process in task manager but opens no tab on screen. After disabling windows firewall again it works perfectly.

I went ahead and ran the Windows Repair AIO again with the settings you advised me to use and it seems to have fixed the issue. In addition my computer seems to be running and loading applications just slightly faster now!

 

However shortly after reboot, I got this popup

I did not request any action and I have no Idea what this could be from.

Ran the scan, text files attached.

Went through FRST.txt and found a bunch of stuff for google chrome. I don't use this anymore and have it uninstalled. Is there any way to remove these extensions or whatever they are?

Chrome:

I looked through the Addition.txt file as well and the task for PileOfDough monitor was still there. I removed it manually.

Also, I found this bit.
ATTENTION: System Restore is disabled
 

I manually re-enabled that as well.

Sorry I wasn't home yesterday, so I didn't have time to reply to your thread. I can delete all that with a FRST fix. But first I just thought of something, restart your computer to get the prompt, leave it open, then open the Task Manager, right-click on Apps name associated with it, and select Go to details. What's the associated process name, and where is the file located?

In that case let's try something else first.

sUc2qjf.pngAutoruns - Start-up Entries
Follow the instructions below to give me an Autoruns log containing your start-up entries:

  • Download Autoruns.zip from the Sysinternals Suite webpage;
  • Extract the content of the Autoruns.zip folder where you want, then go in the folder, right-click on Autoruns.exe and select Run as Administrator;
  • Accept the EULA on opening, then wait for all the entries to load;
  • Click on File then Save and save the file to a location easily accessible as a .arn (Autoruns) file;
  • Upload the file on Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive  and post the download URL for it here;

Done, the file is linked, and I think these entries may be the cause of the popup.

Talking about the two entries for Winmail.exe.

 

Here is the file:

I apologize, I meant to post one last time before I left town for spring break and let you know I'd be away, but I forgot. I'll be back sometime tomorrow though and able to continue. 

However, the confusion over Google Chrome was, I uninstalled it and my girlfriend reinstalled it at some point between then and now. (Apparently she prefers it over Firefox)

Also the Email pop up happened again.
