  1. Hi Kaspersky found infections in this folder: C:\System Volume Information\_restore This is your system restore. When ComboFix uninstalls, it automatically clears you system restore and sets a new, clean, restore point. That is why you didn't see any actions being taken. Any other questions? Thanks.
  2. If you need malware removal assistance but can't run MBAM, post a HijackThis log in this forum: http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.php?showforum=7 and an expert will assist you in the removal.
  3. Xubuntu is a Linux Distribution - an alternative to Windows. Any programs designed specifically to work on Windows (Like MalwareBytes') will not run on this Operating System. If you want to get rid of it, you will have to format the hard-drive and install Windows yourself. Hope that helps (or at least provides some information).

Re-enable TeaTimer: Open SpybotClick on Tools in bottom left hand corner. Click on Resident. Check Resident "TeaTimer" box. Click on Allow change ONLY to popup box with: Entry: SpybotSD Teatimer Click on Mode, select Default mode Close Spybot Now that your system appears to be clean, theres just a few steps I'd like you to take to prevent any future infections. Keeping your Windows up-to-date is crucial to your computer's security. Please go to the Windows Update Site (using Internet Explorer) and download and install all critical updates on a regular basis. Make sure you update your Anti-Virus software regularly, new viruses are being developed all the time.

Freely available: Download SpywareBlaster Download and install the free version of WinPatrol. This program protects your computer in a variety of ways and will work well with your existing security software. Have a look at this tutorial to help you get started with the program.

  7. Hi You can probably clean the contents of Trend Micro's Quarantine area. Looking good, please just post one last HijackThis log and then we'll see if we can wrap this up. Thanks.
  8. Hi Not quite. Basically, if you get into a situation whereby you cannot boot into Windows (be it a malware infection or by other cause), the recovery console allows you to access a command prompt interface whereby you can attempt to fix the issue. Basically a safety net, something to help you if everything goes completely wrong. Do not run ComboFix on a regular basis. I would run ATF-Cleaner and MBAM when you want to clean you PC, yes. ComboFix should not be run unless directed to, it is not a general purpose tool like MBAM. Your logs are looking better, let's just get another opinion. Please go to Kaspersky website and perform an online antivirus scan. Read through the requirements and privacy statement and click on Accept button. It will start downloading and installing the scanner and virus definitions. You will be prompted to install an application from Kaspersky. Click Run. When the downloads have finished, click on Settings. Make sure these boxes are checked (ticked).

Did you have Norton/Symantec at one point on this machine? I can see some remnants, so if you wish to get rid of them you can do the following: Norton Removal Tool Download the Norton Removal Tool and save it to your Desktop.
