skynet

[DrewSky]

Hi. I've been having a skynet problem for the past couple of days. Every time I click on something (everything, actually), I get this: The application or DLL globalroot\systemroot\system32\SKYNETlpkhgrxo.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.

I've run Malwarebytes, superantispyware, spybot, and spyware doctor 2 or 3 times each. Spyware doctor gives me the win32.TDSS.rtk with skynet. I've tried running combofix, but I get so many of those messages that it can't do anything. I also can't get my computer to start in safe mode. It just keeps restarting itself until I tell it to start normally. The last malwarebytes scan didn't have any problems on it, but as nothing has changed, skynet is obviously still there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.38

Database version: 2374

Windows 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3

First of all, please update MalwareBytes, because the main version and databaseversion is way outdated.

• Start MalwareBytes and click the Update tab. There click "Check for updates"
  
• In case you can't update the database via the update option, please download and install the database from here. Only do this when the update option doesn't work.
  
• Once the updates are downloaded, perform a quick scan again.
  
• The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
  
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  
• Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  
• When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
  
• The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
  
• Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply along with a fresh HijackThis log, then we'll proceed from there with new steps.
  

Extra Note:

If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process,if asked to restart the computer,please do so immediatly.
