ririchu Posted May 14, 2017 ID:1124884 Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) There is a virus on my computer that is attempting to attack every few hours. I run Norton as my real time protection right now (since it's free with my service provider) and it is currently blocking them for me. I use the free version of Malwarebytes to do my scans usually since I have found the scanner catches more things. I've booted in safe mode and run the scanner that way and currently nothing is showing up. I've run Farbar Recovery Tool Scanner and will attach the Addition and FRST text files to this post.

ririchu Posted May 14, 2017 Author ID:1124922 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I'm not seeing a way to edit my post anymore (sorry if I missed it!) but I wanted to note a few more things! I HAVE done the scan both in and out of safe mode. First scan removed a decent amount of things, but I later found the intrusion attempts were still continuing, so I ran it again, where nothing was found. Ran it a third time in safe mode just to see if that made a difference and still found nothing. I'm also attaching an example of the information norton is giving me about an attack (they are all coming from the same IP address and URL) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ririchu Posted May 14, 2017 Author ID:1124949 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Here are all of the files you requested! My only other concern right now is that every time I reboot my computer I am getting a prompt requesting User Account Control from c:\Windows\System32\mrt.exe which wasnt happening previously that I recall. I haven't approved it any of the times I restarted my computer since I am worried it may be a virus or something. Thanks!

kevinf80 Posted May 15, 2017 ID:1125034 Share Posted May 15, 2017 The file is legitimate, nothing to worry about. Next time you are prompted ok UAC and let it run.... Other than that, if no remaining issues or concerns continue as follows.. Navigate to and delete the following: C:\ProgramData\Emsisoft C:\Users\Andrew\Desktop\start emergency kit scanner - Shortcut.lnk C:\EEK C:\Users\{your user name}\Desktop\EmsisoftEmergencyKit.exe Next, 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.
