Razy.827284

[escasoni]

Am having  problems removing the virus Gen:\Variant.Razy.827284 from an executable file.

Upgraded my Malearebytes to Premium as the free version had no effect, but still having no success.

Would appreciate your help.

If your security alerts to FRST either, accept the alert or turn your security off to allow FRST to run. It is not malicious or infected in any way... Be aware FRST must be run from an account with Administrator status...   Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.(Windows 8/10 users will be prompted about Windows SmartScreen protection - click More information and Run.)

Thanks for your reply to my query.

Have carried out your instructions with the following results.

 

Completed a scan with Malwarebytes as requested and exported the scan log to desktop.  This is attached.

Scanned with ADW Cleaner but after ensuring all threats were checked and selecting QUARANTINE the threats disappeared and nothing else happened.  I was not asked to restart the computer and no log was displayed.

Scanned with Farbar Recovery tool and scan log is attached.

I hope these will help as my Bitdefender profram doesn't seem to find the threat and deal with this.  It just sends the affected file to quarantine which is only half the solution.

Hello escasoni.

Please do not post logs in Word, post as text file as per instructions... I need to see the following logs:

frst.txt

addition.txt

Those two logs are saved here :- C:\FRST\Logs

Also need to see log from AdwCleaner, logs are here :- C:\AdwCleaner\Logs

Thank you,

Kevin

[escasoni]

Kevin.

My apologies.  I didn't know where to find the logs you wanted and Word seemed the only way I could get the information into an attached file as the allowable extensions show doc as acceptable.

Logs you requested are attached.  It's easy when you know how !!.

Hi Kevin

Accepted your txt file and downloaded.  Ran the program successfully.  Log file attached.

Also installed Sophos to desktop which tried to install but displayed the error message " Error 1606 Cannot access network location  data"

Fixing this virus seems to be  throwing up more problems !!   I'll keep trying.

Hiya Ron,

Download and run the the windows fixit troubleshooter when complete reboot and try Sophos again...

Thank you,

Hi Kevin,

 

All finished and no threats found.  Log attached.

I think I'll have to buy a new computer.

Bitdefender can't find anything

Hitman Pro can't find anything

Malwarebytes Premium can't find anything

Zemana can't find anything

FRST can't find anything

Sophos can't find anything

 

I know this threat isn't a figment of my imagination, but are we fighting a losing battle here ??

Hiya Ron,

Lets try another scanner:

Download Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool (KVRT) from here: https://www.kaspersky.com/downloads/thank-you/free-virus-removal-tool and save to your Desktop. Select the Windows Key and R Key together, the "Run" box should open. Drag and Drop KVRT.exe into the Run Box. C:\Users\{your user name}\DESKTOP\KVRT.exe will now show in the run box. add -dontcryptsupportinfo Note the space between KVRT.exe and -dontcryptsupportinfo C:\Users\{your user name}\DESKTOP\KVRT.exe -dontcryptsupportinfo should now show in the Run box. That addendum to the run command is very important, when the scan does eventually complete the resultant report is normally encrypted, with the extra command it is saved as a readable file. Reports are saved here C:\KVRT_data\Reports and look similar to this report_20200727_103821.klr Right click direct onto that report, select > open with > Notepad. Save that file and attach to your reply. To start the scan select OK in the "Run" box. The Windows Protected your PC window will open, select "More Info" A new Window will open, select "Run anyway" A EULA window will open, tick both confirmation boxes then select "Accept" In the new window select "Change Parameters" In the new window ensure all selection boxes are ticked, then select "OK" The scan should now start... When complete if entries are found there will be options, if "Cure" is offered leave as is. For any other options change to "Delete" then select "Continue" When complete, or if nothing was found select "Close" Attach the report information as previously instructed....   Thank you,   Kevin

Have got the scan report but when right clicking, nothing happens.  I was expecting a small window to open giving "save with" program options as per usual, but this din't appear.

Have tried to move into Notepad by dragging and dropping, but afgain nothing happens.  How can I get the "Save with" options box back ?

 

Sorry about this.

Reports are saved here C:\KVRT_data\Reports and look similar to this report_20200727_103821.klr Right click direct onto that report, select > open with > Notepad. Save that file and attach to your reply.

If that fails zip up and attach this folder: C:\KVRT_data\Reports

Hello Ron,

Kaspersky log is clean. Why do believe your PC is still infected..?

Cheers,

Kevin

[escasoni]

Kevin.

I recently purchased and downloaded a zip file relating to an aircraft in flight simulator and every time I unzip this, Bitdefender gives me the message that a threat has been detected and disinfection is in progress.  Unfortunately, the disinfection appears not to be successful as Bitdefender moves the file to quarantine so I can't install the package. Looking ay the information the threat name is GEN:\Variant.Razy.827284.

I tried a couple of scans prior to contacting you with no success, so perhaps it's just the original zip file that's infected and not my computer.  All the scans we went through certainly couldn't find anything.

I reckon we'll call it a day.

Many thanks for taking the time to help me, you've been very patient and understanding.

 

Ron

Hello Ron,

If you are sure we are done continue to clean up:

Uninstall the following program (unless you prefer to keepit): Sophos AV http://www.askvg.com/how-to-completely-uninstall-remove-a-software-program-in-windows-without-using-3rd-party-software/ Also delete this folder if still present: C:\ProgramData\Sophos Also this one C:\KRD2018_Data Also these Delete KVRT.exe, navigate to and delete C:\KVRT_Data folder Next, Right click on FRST here: C:\Users\Ron\Downloads\FRST.exe and rename uninstall.exe when complete right click on uninstall.exe and select "Run as Administrator" If you do not see the .exe appended that is because file extensions are hidden, in that case just rename FRST to uninstall That action will remove FRST and all created files and folders... Next, Remove all System Restore Points: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/33593-delete-system-restore-points-windows-10-a.html#option2 Create clean fresh Restore Point: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/create-system-restore-point Run Windows Disk Clean Up Utility - https://neosmart.net/wiki/disk-cleanup/ Condsider the following: Malwarebytes Browser Guard (Free) for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/malwarebytes/ Malwarebytes Browser Guard (Free) for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/malwarebytes-browser-guar/ihcjicgdanjaechkgeegckofjjedodee PatchMyPC, keep all your software upto date - https://patchmypc.com/home-updater#download From there you should be good to go...
