Hello and welcome to Malwarebytes Forums.  

I will be assisting you regarding your computer's issues. Here, we will check your computer for malware.

Please, adhere to the guidelines below, and then carefully follow, with the same order, all the instructions after:

1. Always ask before acting. Do not continue if you are not sure, or if something unexpected happens!

2. Do not run any tools unless instructed to do so. Also, do not uninstall or install any software during the procedure, unless I ask you to do so.

3. Cracked or pirated programs are not only illegal, but also can make your computer a malware target. Having such programs installed, is the easiest way to get infected. Thus, no need to clean the computer, since, soon or later, it will get infected again. If you have such programs, please uninstall them now, before we start the cleaning procedure.

4. If your computer seems to start working normally, don't abandon the topic. Even if your system is behaving normally, there may still be some malware remnants left over. Additionally, malware can re-infect the computer if some remnants are left. Therefore, please complete all requested steps to make sure any malware is successfully eradicated from your PC.

5. You have to reply to my posts within 3 days. If you need some additional time, just let me know. Otherwise, I will leave the topic due to lack of feedback.  If you are able, I would request you to check this thread at least once per day so that we can resolve your issues effectively and efficiently.

6. Logs from malware diagnostic or removal programs can take some time to get analyzed. Also, have in mind that all the experts here are volunteers and may not be available to assist when you post. Please, be patient, while I analyze your logs.
 

===========================

1. Cracked programs

Since you referred to a cracked program downloading, please take in mind seriously point 3 above. I strongly recommend you remove all the cracked programs from your computer. If this is not acceptable to you, let me know so we can close this topic.

 

2. Run FRST

Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop. --> IMPORTANT

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

If your antivirus software detects the tool as malicious, it’s safe to allow FRST to run. It is a false-positive detection.

If English is not your primary language, right click on FRST.exe/FRST64.exe and rename to FRSTEnglish.exe/FRST64English.exe

• Double-click the FRST icon to run the tool. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
• Press Scan button and wait for a while.
• The scanner will produced two logs on your Desktop: FRST.txt and Addition.txt.
• Please attach the content of these two logs in your next reply.

mess in the code

[David H. Lipman]

The deliberately bloated SETUP.EXE in the RAR file was a Vidar Stealer.

 

[DR_M]

That's why we are going to remove it.

Addition.txt FRST.txt

[DR_M]

Hi, Suhas21.

Before we continue, I would like to make you clear, once more, that during the cleaning procedure:

Quote

2. Do not run any tools unless instructed to do so. Also, do not uninstall or install any software during the procedure, unless I ask you to do so.

Having different things in the logs every time, make things complicated. We can't clean a system if you do so. If you are not OK with that, let me know to close this topic.

[Suhas21]

I am OK with that

[DR_M]

Good. Then please do not download any other program, until we finish from here.

Since you ran a very old version of FRST, please download it again from here and run it again for a new scan. I would like to see the 2 fresh logs, Addition and FRST. 

[DR_M]

Hi.

Do you still need assistance? 

[Suhas21]

Sorry, because of ongoing exams I cant proceed with the given steps and also I installed some extra softwares..

Thank You for helping me till now , once again Thankyou.

[DR_M]

You are welcome.

If you would like to return when you are able to, please reply to this post and provide fresh FRST logs.

Good luck with your exams. 😊
