Uninstall our tools using delfix

Please follow these steps in order:

1. In the case we used Defogger to turn off your CD emulation software. You can start it again and use the Enable button.
2. In the case we used Combofix. Deactivate your antivirus software once more, then rename the combofix.exe to uninstall.exe and run it one last time. You shall be noted that Combofix has been removed.
3. In any case please download delfix to your desktop.
   
   • Close all other programms and start delfix.
   • Please check all the boxes and run the tool.
   • delfix will now delete all found traces of our removal process
     

[*] If there is still something left please delete it manualy.

Defrag your hard drive
 
Your hard drive is heavily fragmented. This may result in performance losses. If it is NOT an SSD drive, use a tool like Auslogic DiskDefrag to defrag the drive.

 

 

 

Recommendations: How to protect yourself

• System Updates
  Please ensure to have automatic updates activated in your control panel.
  For further information and a tutorial, see this Microsoft Support article.
• Protection
  What you need is one (not more) virus scanner with background protection. Additionally I recommend a special malware scanner to run on demand weekly.
  Personally I am using avast! Antivirus Free Edition and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. They offer good protection for free.
  
  • To keep your browser free of advertising, you may install the Adblock Plus browser extension.
    It will filter unwanted advertising out of the website´s content.
  • To protect yourself from accidentally visiting malicious web sites, install the Web of Trust (WOT) browser extension.
    It will display a green (safe), yellow (unknown) or red (potentially dangerous) icon for a visited website within your browser.
    In addition, before accessing a dangerous classified web site, a warning screen is displayed.
    

  
  [*]Up to date Software
  Keep your Windows and your third party software up to date. The easiest way to get infected is an outdated windows, followed by: browser(s) (including add-ons and plug-ins), Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader, Java Runtime Environment, your antivirus program and so on. These links may help you to check:
  

  • Secunia Personal Software Inspector - checks if your software has updates available.
  • SecurityCheck (by screen317) - scans your computer for most vulnerable outdated software.
  • Mozilla: Check your plugins - The webpage will tell you if you have outdated plugins running in your Firefox browser.
    

  [*]Backup
  Hardware issues, malware, fire, lightning strike: There is a long list of different ways to loose all your data. Back up your files regularly. Use the windows internal backup function or a third party tool and save your data onto an external hard drive, cloud storage, optical media like CDs or DVDs or (if available) a professional network backup system. [*]Behaviour
  The commonest error when using a computer is "error 80" - what means that the error is located about 80cm in front of the monitor. This is a common joke between IT support technicians but it shows that all the safety mechanisms won´t help if you aren´t careful enough.
  

  • While surfing the internet, don´t click on anything you don´t know. In the worst case, it infects your system with malware.
  • Watch your step in social networks! Many cyber criminals use them to spread malware, mine personal pata (to be sold to advertising companies, for example) or simply do damage to other users. Even if a received hyperlink within a message seems to be coming from one of your friends, have a closer look. In addition, don´t click everything.
  • When installing software, have a look to each of the setup windows and uncheck any additional toolbars or free programs that may be offered additionally. Most of today´s setup procedures contain potentially unwanted programs so keep them off your system.
  • Avoid gaming sites, pirated software, cracking tools, keygens, and peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing programs.
    They are a security risk which can make your computer susceptible to a wide variety of malware infections, remote attacks, exposure of personal information, and identity theft. Many malicious worms and Trojans spread across P2P file sharing networks, gaming and underground sites.
    

  
  
  

[Serb25]

So, are those bogus files in 'Hosts' deleted now? And to the best of my knowledge, the laptop has an HDD. Is there any way to check this?

[Serb25]

And I'll just remove KMPToolbar with Revo Uninstaller. Or just leave it, sense, well, it's dead.

[Serb25]

Update, del fix removed KMP Media Toolbar. How is this possible? I thaut it only removes disinfection tools! Oh well. Still good! I will do more updates and I if I do everything, this topic can be closed.

[Serb25]

I ran that tool and the fragmation from 58% it dropped to 53%. Not so good. Anyway activated automatic updates and installing the updates right now.

[Serb25]

Windows update only ruined the preformanse. Running system restore now.

[Serb25]

Ugh new processes appeared ''rundll32,instup.exe,updater.exe.update.exe and winlogon.exe'' and the laptop is slower. I think I will reformat but I don't have the CD.

[Psychotic]

instup.exe is part of avast! antivirus, winlogon.exe an essential part of windows.

But if you want to reformat without trying to get this fixed, obtain a DVD and wipe the place.

[Serb25]

I know about winlogon.exe, but it just appered today. This topic can be closed. I see no point of this fix since my dad will just install programs and leave toolbars and ignore AV warnings. Anyway my sister's old PC is trojan infested and the graphic card is dead but I will try to remove those Trojans on my own if my dad gives me the PC
