Hello, recently Ive been hit by Anti-Malware doctor, and Ill be as thorough as possible to make this easier for those who decide to help.

I am very experienced with Web design and coding so I know the differences between something legitimate and not, whent his pop up came up i realized It was a virus. So I searched around and foundt his site to be one of the first results and its program (MBAM) to be the fix.

Your right, it did delete Anti-Malware and alot of the trojans it already downloaded, I also manually went to Registrys and deleted some suspicious registrys.

MBAM kept finding Rootkit.bubnix and removed it but it keeps coming back.

// My conclusion

Heres the virus info: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/T...:Win32/Bubnix.A

It hides in C:\Windows\System\32\drivers under a randomly generated aliases ______.sys, in my case its nkjlup.sys so those who try to google these files are at a dead end because, its randomly generated.

I figured I would right that introduction and all my data that Ive gain because Ive seen people try to fix this.

// What Ive tried

- Safe mode scans

- Manual Removal

C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\nkjlup.sys (Rootkit.Bubnix) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

If you have this virus, I personally am getting google result redirects and an INSANE AMOUNT OF LAG with the internet, So bad that Im manaully transfering the logs (e.g. Unplugged ethernet cord from my pc, grabbed usb drive, transfered .txt after MBAM finsihed scanning, and ran to my laptop :))

So this virus Ive seen people try to solve:

http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=61393 (Recently posted, Unsolved)

http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?s...=60906&st=0 (Recently posted, Solved)

So I think this is rather a frequent virus, and I believe many of us require help to solve this. I scrolled down to the Solved post and found that "recovery console" would fix it, unfortuantely I own Vista and my recovery console is in the installation cd, which i no longer have. So im out of luck, considering that guy that solved it manually deleted it. (Note: In safe mode + Normal mode if you try to delete the ____.sys virus it will not let you, even in Safe mde With command prompt...)

So please, Computer IT techs, help me solve this problem.

    TDSSKillerMal-1.png

    TDSSKillerSuspicious.png
  • It may ask you to reboot the computer to complete the process. Click on Reboot Now.
    TDSSKillerCompleted.png
  • If no reboot is require, click on Report. A log file should appear. Please copy and paste the contents of that file here.
  • If a reboot is required, the report can also be found in your root directory, (usually C:\ folder) in the form of "TDSSKiller.[Version]_[Date]_[Time]_log.txt". Please copy and paste the contents of that file here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Download ComboFix from one of these locations:

Link 1

Link 2

* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

  • Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. Here is a guide on how to disable them:
    Click me
    If you can't disable them then just continue on.
  • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
  • As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
  • Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:

Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt log in your next reply.

Update: I just clicked skipped once and there was a log, I read over it and it wasnt really important... I scanned again with TDSSKILLER and instead of "Skip" i selected delete for both. After that, It asked for a reboot. Once the computer restarted i checked my directory where the virus was, and it is no longer :)

I didnt run Combofix, considering TDSSKILLER SOLVED THE PROBLEM!

Thank you very much Gammo and the Malwarebytes.org community :)

Hi,

Please run ComboFix anyway, and include the C:\ComboFix.txt log in your next reply.

There could be more infections on your system, or some leftovers that are related to the infections that TDSSKiller deleted. This might sound a little harsh, but I'll decide when your PC is clean, OK? :)

I let Combofix scan a little bit longer and it deleted a few more things then I went to check my laptop (where im posting from), when i came to my pc it was logging off, and has been for about 5 minutes..

"Logging of...." on the vista screen.....

I saw combofix on youtube and it said "Please let combofix reboot itself"
