I disabled McAfee, d/l combofix to desktop but it wont run. What is my next step?

[dugal]

Ok the sun is shining again in Michigan! I renamed Combofix and got it to run. There was a Rootkit problem which was quarantined and deleted after reboot. I was then able to run Mbam successfully and it found the UACinit file that was also invoved. I am posting the 3 logs but I think I am in good shape. Why do I waste my money on McAfee if it doesnt protect my PC? Any other recommendations on preventing this from happening again?

Well it's difficult for sure. But on any given day Malware or Virus can sneak past any program before it's detected and new updates made to catch it.

The Avira has a pretty good reputation for staying on top of definitions and it's free if you do decide to change. But they too can miss things, no one is going to catch all of it every day it just changes too fast.

  When the scan completes Notepad will open with with your results log open. Do a File, Exit.

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.

Ok I thought I was done but I guess not. Im curious to know why I needed to rerun combofix after everything appeared to be normal. Do you have time for an explanation of what we did? Thanks much for you help.

[AdvancedSetup]

We were removing some other left over files and trying to unlock a locked Registry key, but it is still locked.
Then cleaned up un-needed temporary files from the system.

How is the computer running now?
Are there still any signs of an infection?

[dugal]

Well, AS, it seems to be working very well now. A little quicker than it has in a while. You sure know your stuff! Thanks again.

[AdvancedSetup]

Okay now that your system is running better let's do some other cleanup.

All versions of Java prior to 6 build 12 have one or more pieces of exploited code in them and you need to remove them.

Please go into the Control Panel, Add/Remove and for now remove ALL versions of JAVA
When we're done you can go back and install the latest version but for now please do not install any.

Then run this tool to help cleanup any left over Java
Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.
Please download JavaRa and unzip it to your desktop.
***Please close any instances of Internet Explorer (or other web browser) before continuing!***

• Double-click on JavaRa.exe to start the program.
  
• From the drop-down menu, choose English and click on Select.
  
• JavaRa will open; click on Remove Older Versions to remove the older versions of Java installed on your computer.
  
• Click Yes when prompted. When JavaRa is done, a notice will appear that a logfile has been produced. Click OK.
  
• A logfile will pop up. Please save it to a convenient location and post it back when you reply
  
  Then look for the following Java folders and if found delete them.
  C:\Program Files\Java
  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Java
  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Java
  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sun\Java
  C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Java
  C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Sun\Java

Then you can update to latest Java.
Download and Update Java Runtime
The most current version of Sun Java is: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 12.

• Go to http://java.sun.com/...loads/index.jsp
  
• Go to Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 12 about half way down the page and click on the Download button.
  
• In Platform box choose Windows.
  
• Check the box to Accept License Agreement and click Continue.
  
• Click on Windows Offline Installation, click on the link under it which says jre-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe and save the downloaded file to your desktop.
  
• Install the new version by running the newly-downloaded file with the java icon which will be on your desktop, and follow the on-screen instructions.
  
• Uncheck the Toolbar button (unless you want the toolbar)
  
• Reboot your computer

The same goes for older Adobe Acrobat products.
Update available for vulnerability in versions 8.1 and earlier of Adobe Reader and Acrobat


Then let's remove any tools that might have been used either here or somewhere else while cleaning up the box.

Please run the following to remove any tools that might have been used during the scaning and cleaning of your system.

STEP 1
[indent]Uninstall ComboFix.exe

• Click START then RUN
  
• Now type Combofix /u (if you renamed Combofix.exe use that name instead) in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the /U, it needs to be there.
  
• [indent][/indent]
  
• When shown the disclaimer, Select "2"

Remove this folder C:\QooBox if the uninstall instructions don't work and delete Combofix.exe[/indent]

STEP 2
[indent]Uninstall GMER
Click on START - RUN and type in or copy/paste %windir%\gmer_uninstall.cmd to remove GMER.[/indent]

STEP 3
[indent]Uninstall other tools
Please Download OTMoveIt3 by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.

• Double-click OTMoveIt3.exe to run it.
  
• While connected to the Internet, Click on the green CleanUp! button and it will populate a list of items to clean from your system that we used or may have used.
  
• It should ask if you want to clean up, select Yes and allow the system to clean up these items.
  NOW please reboot your computer to finish the cleanup process

[/indent]




Great, all looks good now.

I'll close your post soon so that other don't post into it and leave you with this information and suggestions.

So how did I get infected in the first place?


[indent]At this time your system appears to be clean. Nothing else in the logs indicates that you are still infected.
Now that you appear to be clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

Disable and Enable System Restore-WINDOWS XP
This is a good time to clear your existing system restore points and establish a new clean restore point:

Turn off System Restore

• On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
  
• Click Properties.
  
• Click the System Restore tab.
  
• Check Turn off System Restore.
  
• Click Apply, and then click OK.
  
• Reboot.

Turn ON System Restore

• On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
  
• Click Properties.
  
• Click the System Restore tab.
  
• UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
  
• Click Apply, and then click OK.

This will remove all restore points except the new one you just created.

Here are some free programs I recommend that could help you improve your computer's security.

Install SpyWare Blaster
Download it from here
Find here the tutorial on how to use Spyware Blaster here

Install WinPatrol
Download it from here
Here you can find information about how WinPatrol works here

Install FireTrust SiteHound
You can find information and download it from here

Install hpHosts
Download it from here
hpHosts is a community managed and maintained hosts file that allows an additional layer of protection against access to ad,
tracking and malicious websites. This prevents your computer from connecting to these untrusted sites
by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your own local computer.
hpHosts Support Forum

Update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.
You can use one of these sites to check if any updates are needed for your pc.
Secunia Software Inspector
F-secure Health Check

Visit Microsoft often to get the latest updates for your computer.
http://www.update.microsoft.com
Note 1: If you are running Windows XP SP2, you should upgrade to SP3.
Note 2: Users of Norton Internet Security 2008 should uninstall the software before they install Service Pack 3.
The security suite can then be reinstalled afterwards.

The windows firewall is not sufficient to protect your system. It doesn't monitor outgoing traffic and this is a must.
I recommend Online Armor Free
