Thank you in advance for you help with this matter.

Hello ,

And My name is Elise and I'll be glad to help you with your computer problems.

I will be working on your malware issues, this may or may not solve other issues you may have with your machine.

Please note that whatever repairs we make, are for fixing your computer problems only and by no means should be used on another computer.

• The cleaning process is not instant. Logs can take some time to research, so please be patient with me. I know that you need your computer working as quickly as possible, and I will work hard to help see that happen.
  
• Please reply using the Add/Reply button in the lower right hand corner of your screen. Do not start a new topic.
  
• The logs that you post should be pasted directly into the reply. Only attach them if requested or if they do not fit into the post.
  
• Unfortunately, if I do not hear back from you within 5 days, I will be forced to close your topic. If you still need help after I have closed your topic, send me or a moderator a personal message with the address of the thread or feel free to create a new one.
  

You may want to keep the link to this topic in your favorites. Alternatively, you can click the button at the top bar of this topic and Track this Topic, where you can choose email notifications.

-----------------------------------------------------------

If you have since resolved the original problem you were having, we would appreciate you letting us know. If not please perform the following steps below so we can have a look at the current condition of your machine.

If you have not done so, include a clear description of the problems you're having, along with any steps you may have performed so far.

If you have already posted a log, please do so again, as your situation may have changed.

Use the 'Add Reply' and add the new log to this thread.

We need to see some information about what is happening in your machine. Please perform the following scan:

• Please download OTL from one of the following mirrors:
  • This is THE Mirror
    

  [*]Save it to your desktop.

  [*]Double click on the icon on your desktop.

  [*]Click the "Scan All Users" checkbox.

  [*]Push the button.

  [*]Two reports will open, copy and paste them in a reply here:

  • OTListIt.txt <-- Will be opened
    
  • Extra.txt <-- Will be minimized
    

Please download GMER from one of the following locations and save it to your desktop:

• Main Mirror
  This version will download a randomly named file (Recommended)
  
• Zipped Mirror
  This version will download a zip file you will need to extract first. If you use this mirror, please extract the zip file to your desktop.
  

• Disconnect from the Internet and close all running programs.
  
• Temporarily disable any real-time active protection so your security programs will not conflict with gmer's driver.
  
• Double-click on the randomly named GMER file (i.e. n7gmo46c.exe) and allow the gmer.sys driver to load if asked.
  
• Note: If you downloaded the zipped version, extract the file to its own folder such as C:\gmer and then double-click on gmer.exe.
  
  
• GMER will open to the Rootkit/Malware tab and perform an automatic quick scan when first run. (do not use the computer while the scan is in progress)
  
• If you receive a WARNING!!! about rootkit activity and are asked to fully scan your system...click NO.
  
• Now click the Scan button. If you see a rootkit warning window, click OK.
  
• When the scan is finished, click the Save... button to save the scan results to your Desktop. Save the file as gmer.log.
  
• Click the Copy button and paste the results into your next reply.
  
• Exit GMER and re-enable all active protection when done.
  

-- If you encounter any problems, try running GMER in Safe Mode.

-------------------------------------------------------------

In the meantime please, do NOT install any new programs or update anything unless told to do so while we are fixing your problem

If you still need help, please include the following in your next reply

• A detailed description of your problems
  
• A new OTL log (don't forget extra.txt)
  
• GMER log
  

[Arryndel]

OTL scan ran fine and gave both logs, however, gmer didn't do as well. I let it run, took 16 hours the first time but froze when I tried to save the log. Tried running it in safe mode, was faster but I would not have been able to save the log in safe mode (resolution placed the save button too far down and no way to reach it. When I tried to run it again in regular mode, I kept getting the blue screen and reboot even though nothing else was supposedly running and I wasn't using the pc during the scan.

Sad news is that I ended up having to reformat the entire system. Thank you so very mush for trying to help, seems I just had too much going on in my system. I've already re-downloaded MWB and will continue using it to monitor my system and keep it clean. Too bad I hadn't found this sooner

Thanks again for the help!!

[Arryndel]

I just ran MWB for the first time since reformatting today and again the same two items show up in the scan!! Not sure how these can still be on my system after a complete format but there they are. Going to try again to run the scans that you suggested and see how it goes. If the logs save as they should then I will post here as requested.

Thank you again for your assistance!

[Elise]

Yes, the best thing would be to post the logs here. Did you restore any backups? If so, it is possible they rinfected things.
