A challenging infection

[Edmond]

I was recently infected by an installer for what I thought was an update for a game, but was bombarded with trojans upon opening. I ran MBAM and made a full scan, restarted in safe mode and made another full scan, but that doesn't seem to have worked completely.

Here's my HiJackThis log

thank you very much for taking the time

I did another scan in safe mode with MBAM. Also, my latest DDS, GMER, and HJT logs are attached.

Thank you.

Hi and welcome to Malwarebytes.

In the future, please post all logs directly into your reply instead of attaching them. With that said, please update MBAM, run a Quick Scan, and post its log.

Next, run DDS again and post DDS.txt in your reply.

[Edmond]

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, but I reformatted and started fresh

sorry for taking so long to let you know

thanks again

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,
