Virus/Trojan kills processes; can't get anything to run


Recommended Posts

I have quite a doozy on my hands here.

I've come across something that won't allow mbam, hijack this, combo-fix or just about anything else in the realm of anti-malware software to run to run after I've installed it. After the process terminates, I no longer have access to modify anything in the folder - I get "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item".

I've tried the steps in the "Procedures to help resolve issues preventing MBAM from running" to no avail - either because I don't have any of the processes running (I'm running process explorer) that are listed in the first three topics, and whatever is infecting this computer kills the RootRepeal process before it can finish it's scan.

The only program that has been successful at cleaning *some* of the mess up has been ESET Nod32. I'm now in safemode, and everything behaves the same. I'll also post my processes log to see if you can see something I can't.

I am running Windows XP SP3.

Hi Xypheri and welcome to Malwarebytes.

Please visit this webpage for instructions for running ComboFix:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

However, do not download it from the links on that page. Download it from here instead:

  • When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you.
  • Please post the C:\ComboFix.txt along with a new HijackThis log so we may continue cleaning the system.

ComboFix doesn't appear to work. I get a status bar for a few moments, then the application disappears, without generating a C:\ComboFix.txt file.

Uh, so I guess the Hijack this file doesnt want to upload.

Sorry for flooding.
