STUMPED!


Recommended Posts

I'm really stumped on this one! When it became apparent that I had a virus/malware, I ran my usual scans; Malwarebytes, Norton Anti-virus, Adaware and showed zero infections. It appears that something is periodically running in the background as indicated by the circle next to the curser and confirmed by Task Manager and Resorce Monitor. The computer runs sluggish at times and the curser will freeze up. Then it "breaks loose" and everything runs normal. Please help! Thanks!

OK, run RogueKiller again and click Scan

When the scan completes > click on the Registry tab

Put a check next to all of these and uncheck the rest:

OK, that scan was clean.....

Please download and run ComboFix.

The most important things to remember when running it is to disable all your malware programs and run Combofix from your desktop.

Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running ComboFix

http://www.bleepingc...to-use-combofix

Ensure you have disabled all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

Information on disabling your malware programs can be found Here.

Make sure you run ComboFix from your desktop.

Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply for further review.

---------->NOTE<----------

If you get the message Illegal operation attempted on registry key that has been marked for deletion after you run ComboFix....please reboot the computer, this should resolve the problem. You may have to do this several times if needed.

Do you know what these folders are from??

c:\windows\system32\ca-ES

c:\windows\system32\eu-ES

c:\windows\system32\vi-VN

1. Close any open browsers.

2. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

3. Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

4. If ComboFix wants to update.....please allow it to.

Folder::

c:\program files\blekkotb_soc

c:\programdata\blekko toolbars

DDS::

uStart Page = hxxp://blekkosearch.mystart.com/blekkotb_soc/?source=86adbc52&toolbarid=blekkotb_soc&u=20120519BB5D48759368802DD7F87761&tbp=homepage

Save this as CFScript.txt, in the same location as ComboFix.exe

CFScript.gif

Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe

CAUTION: Do not mouse-click ComboFix while it is running. It may cause it to stall.

After reboot, (in case it asks to reboot)......

Please provide the contents of the ComboFix log (C:\ComboFix.txt) in your next reply.

One more scan and we'll see how it is.....

Next, please run a free online scan with the ESET Online Scanner

Note: You will need to use Internet Explorer for this scan.

http://www.eset.eu/online-scanner

Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.

Click Start

When asked, allow the ActiveX control to install

Click Start

Make sure that the options Remove found threats and the option Scan unwanted applications is checked

Click Advanced settings and select the following:

  • Scan potentially unwanted applications
  • Scan for potentially unsafe applications

Click Start

Wait for the scan to finish

Use Notepad to open the logfile located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt

Good :)

Please Uninstall ComboFix:

Press the Windows logo key + R to bring up the "run box"

Copy and paste next command in the field:

ComboFix /uninstall

Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /

cf2.jpg

Then hit enter.

This will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files, hide file extensions, hide the system/hidden files and clears System Restore cache and create new Restore point

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

Run OTL and hit the CleanUp button. (This will cleanup the tools and logs used including itself)

Any other programs or logs you can manually delete.

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

You have out date Java on the system, older versions are vulnerable to malware.

Please go to your control panels add/remove programs and uninstall these:

Java Auto Updater

Java™ 6 Update 32

Java™ SE Runtime Environment 6

Then download and install the latest version Java™ 7 Update 4.

http://www.java.com/...load/manual.jsp <---latest version

http://www.java.com/...d/installed.jsp <---verify your Java

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

Any questions...please post back.
