MBAM crashes during scan, trying to remove AV Security

[stupidPC]

I'm trying really hard to remove AV Security.

I first tried AVG (which got some stuff) and SuperAntiSpyware (which seemed to delete it... about four times). Keeps coming back.

I followed the instructions on bleepingcomputer to remove it, including running the rkill program (which helps) before running MBAM.

However:

1. Whenever I try to run my computer in Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking, the boot menu runs through a bunch of commands on screen but ALWAYS freezes at:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers.Mup.sys

I think that my inability to get into Safe Mode (for whatever evil reasion) is causing....

2. MBAM crashes towards the end of the scan, each time (though AV never pops up once I've run the rkill), after getting my hopes up by finding 26 items.

Please, please help! I work online, and I'm at the end of my rope.

Hello stupidPC! Welcome to Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Forums!

My name is Borislav and I will be glad to help you solve your problems with malware. Before we begin, please note the following:

• The process of cleaning your system may take some time, so please be patient.
  
• Follow my instructions step by step if there is a problem somewhere, stop and tell me.
  
• Stay with the topic until I tell you that your system is clean. Missing symptoms does not mean that everything is okay.
  
• Instructions that I give are for your system only!
  
• If you don't know or can't understand something please ask.
  
• Do not install or uninstall any software or hardware, while work on.
  
• Keep me informed about any changes.
  

**Note: If you need more detailed information, please visit the web page of ComboFix in BleepingComputer. **

Please note that these fixes are not instantaneous. Most infections require more than one round to properly eradicate.

Hi Borislav-

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. How do I disable Sophos (which is in my toolbar, and has been detected by ComboFix)?

How are things there?

[stupidPC]

It seems that they are (crossing fingers) totally fantastic. In addition to getting rid of AV Security, the ComboFix program cured a bunch of other stuff, too!

My search links were highjacked for months, and I couldn't access Gmail, and even had a fake version of Google that came up on Mozilla, but those awful symptoms are all gone! Windows Security randomly downloaded something and restarted without my permission, but I think that's okay.

Thank you so, so much! You have no idea how happy I am to be able to use real Google and Gmail again.

I hope it stays this way! Thanks again.

P.S. Can I use "Combo-Fix" again if I get another virus?

[Maniac]

Glad I could help.

P.S. Can I use "Combo-Fix" again if I get another virus?

Nope. ComboFix is very powerful tool. More information here:

http://kdiamondkenny.blogspot.com/2009/07/combofix.html

Last steps:

Step 1

* Go to start > run and copy and paste next command in the field:

ComboFix /uninstall

Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /

Then hit enter.

This will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files, reset your clock settings, hide file extensions, hide the system/hidden files and resets System Restore again.

Step 2

Some malware preventions:

Safe surfing!

[stupidPC]

One last thing, please:

Today, AVG ResidentShield keeps reporting that Trojan Fake AV is detected but inaccessible, but when I run MBAM, it finds nothing. Would that suggest that AVG is malfunctioning? Sometimes my different anti-malware programs pick up different stuff, I've realized.

Thanks again.
