brb Posted June 6, 2011 ID:437383 Share Posted June 6, 2011 About a week back I got the Tdss rootkit. I ran malwarebytes and it cleaned it up but I was still having search redirects.Since then I have tried everything and cant remove the rest of the virus.Malwarebytes and SEP run clean.I am unable to Run combofix or Tdsskiller both programs lockup. When the PC boots it runs a chkdsk and sees an unwritable partition that may have something to do wiht it.Please help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff screen317 Posted June 8, 2011 Staff ID:438257 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hi and welcome to Malwarebytes.Please update MBAM, run a Quick Scan, and post its log.Next, download DDS by sUBs and save it to your Desktop.Double-click on the DDS icon and let the scan run. When it has run two logs will be produced, please post only DDS.txt directly into your reply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brb Posted June 10, 2011 Author ID:439178 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Ran DDS and the unit locked up. Waited an hour with no activity and tried to reboot. PC would not boot so I reloaded. Thanks for trying. You can close the post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff screen317 Posted June 13, 2011 Staff ID:440292 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Thanks for letting us know.I highly recommend the PRO version of MBAM; with it, it's likely that this issue would have been prevented in the first place.Now that your computer seems to be in proper working order, please take the following steps to help prevent reinfection:1) Download and install Javacool's SpywareBlaster, which will prevent malware from being installed on your computer. A tutorial on it can be found here.2) Go to Windows Update frequently to get all of the latest updates (security or otherwise) for Windows.3) Make sure your programs are up to date! Older versions may contain security risks. To find out what programs need to be updated, please run Secunia's Software Inspector.4) WOT, Web of Trust, warns you about risky websites that try to scam visitors, deliver malware or send spam. Protect your computer against online threats by using WOT as your front-line layer of protection when browsing or searching in unfamiliar territory. WOT's color-coded icons show you ratings for 21 million websites, helping you avoid the dangerous sites:Green to go Yellow for caution Red to stop WOT has an addon available for both Firefox and IE.5) Be sure to update your Antivirus and Antispyware programs often!Finally, please also take the time to read Tony Klein's excellent article on: So How Did I Get Infected in the First Place?Safe surfing,-screen317 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
