Here's the file after I renamed and ran gmer. Also, do have a risk of infecting a second computer since I have to copy the log file to usb drive and respond from an uninfected computer? I cannot access anti-malware sites from the infected computer.

Yes, it is possible to infect another computer via the USB. Once this system is all clean you should then check out the current one as well in a new post.

You will want to print out or copy these instructions to Notepad for Safe Mode/offline reference!

These steps are for member

rainman only

. If you are a lurker, do NOT try this on your system!

If you are not

rainman

and have a similar problem, do NOT post here; start your own topic

Do not run or start any other programs while these utilities and tools are in use!

Do NOT run any other tools on your own or do any fixes other than what is listed here.

If you have questions, please ask before you do something on your own.

But it is important that you get going on these following steps.

STEP01

Reconfigure Windows XP to show hidden files:

To enable the viewing of Hidden files follow these steps:

* Close all programs so that you are at your desktop.

* Double-click on the My Computer icon.

* Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.

* After the new window appears select the View tab.

* Put a checkmark in the checkbox labeled Display the contents of system folders.

* Under the Hidden files and folders section select the radio button labeled Show hidden files and folders.

* Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide file extensions for known file types.

* Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide protected operating system files.

* Press the Apply button and then the OK button and exit My Computer.

* Now your computer is configured to show all hidden files.

STEP02

Click on
Run Cleaner
button on the bottom right side of the program.
Click OK to any prompts

STEP03

Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware

, please:

open AVG User Interface

double-click on the Resident Shield

un-tick the option Resident Shield active

save the changes.

STEP04

Please download and run the following file to repair file and registry permissions

fixacl.exe

STEP05

Download
FixPolicies.exe
by Bill Castner and save it to your desktop.
Double click on FixPolicies.exe to run it.
Click on Install. It will create a folder named FixPolicies on your desktop.
Open the FixPolicies folder.
Double click on
Fix_policies.cmd
to run it. Command Prompt will open and close quickly this is normal.
Reboot your computer after it runs
This fix may prove temporary. Active malware may revert these changes at your next startup. You can safely run the utility again.
Note: some malware will block the running of this tool. So if you cannot run Fixpolicies, then, RENAME the EXE file to something like Mytool.exe and then run it.

STEP06

Download this INF repair file by MS-MVP Miekiemoes:

http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/tools/VArestorepolicies.zip

Unzip the download. Open the folder

VArestorepolicies

and

Right-click

the file inside,

VArestorepolicies.INF

and choose

Install

STEP07

If you have a prior copy of Combofix, delete it now !

Download ComboFix from one of these locations, saving to DESKTOP:

Link 1

Link 2

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

If your I.E. browser shows a warning message at the top, do a Right-Click on the bar and select Download, saving it to the Desktop.

Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware
applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools
Double click on Combo-Fix.exe & follow the prompts.
If and only if you are prompted to download a new version of Combofix, reply NO .
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.

Please watch Combofix as it runs, as you may see messages which require your response, or the pressing of OK button.

IF

you should see a message like this:

then, be sure to write down fully and also copy that into your next reply here and then await for my response.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the

C:\ComboFix.txt

in your next reply.

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

A caution -

Do not run Combofix more than once.

Do not touch your mouse/keyboard until the scan has completed, as this may cause the process to stall or your computer to lock.

The scan will temporarily disable your desktop, and if interrupted may leave your desktop disabled.

If this occurs, please reboot to restore the desktop.

Even when ComboFix appears to be doing nothing, look at your Drive light.

If it is flashing, Combofix is still at work.

STEP08

IF

and only

IF

the Combofix has worked without exceptions, only then, do the following. IF it has exceptions, then please provide all details and put that in a reply pronto, and STOP, and await my reply.

Only if Combofix has a good finish:

I'm going to have you get and run a special tool. It will hopefully take out most remains of this beast. Keep in mind that not all files I list here will be found on your system; so do not be alarmed. This is a general-type list of typical infectors.

After your PC has completed the necessary reboots, a log should automatically open. Please copy/paste the contents of
c:\avenger.txt
into your next reply.

Not all the items will be found; so do not worry. Hopefully enough of the rootkit will be removed so that we can continue forward with more cleaning.

If you get a blue screen abort when it reboots, please write down all the information, STOP codes and description.

and then reboot the system again.

Combo fix is hung. First part ran and I noted the files found for the rootkit and that end successfully. Combofix rebooted the PC, started again and then completed through Stage_50. The next line is

Please restart the PC and if you can update MBAM and do a Quick Scan and fix anything found.

Then run a HJT Scan and Save log

Post back those logs and the ComboFix log.

MBAM ran, updated and scanned successfully. The log is below as well as the HJT log. I could not find where combo fix generated a log file. Things are looking up.
