I think I might need some help... - Infected computer once more.


Recommended Posts

Hey... it's me again.

 

My computer is seemingly infected again... I cannot run Malwarebytes, that and when I ran Norton 360 (I didn't ask for it...), it picked up a couple viruses with it. The thing is, it didn't remove them, making them seem like a non-virus. Every once in a while, Norton has an error appear. Well... I can't run that piece of software either.

 

I think I'm in a bit of trouble.

 

FRST.log attached.

Running Norton after a small reboot, and looking carefully... I am infected. Norton brings up with three, possibly more viruses - Backdoor.Rustock.A, Backdoor.Rustock.B and Infostealer.snifula.b, being the most prevalent. And looking from my FRST scan, I know that I have used Peer-to-Peer software.

 

Given that, I will go ahead and disable the software(s), and remove anything relating to said product.

Hi and I'm very sorry for the delay. I had a short-circuit accident which deeply fried my home PC's hard drive. As you may know, it's quite hard to run a PC without it :)

After some time, I'd like to see a fresh report.

remove%20outdated.jpg Uninstall some programs

We need to uninstall some programs.

  • Press the WindowsKey.png + R on your keyboard at the same time. Type appwiz.cpl and click OK.

The list of programs to uninstall:

The reason I ask for it is because IOBit vendor is considered rogue as it has beed known for stealing Malwarebytes'intellectual property some time ago.



gmericon.png Scan with Gmer

This type of scan often produces false positives. At any point do not take any action for any suspicious entries you may see there. Instead post the log to be analyzed.

Please download GMER by Gmer and save the file to your desktop.
It will come as a randomly named file (like a6ge38b4.exe) - that's absolutely normal.

Temporary disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware protection - instructions here.

  • Right-click on randomly named gmericon.png icon and select RunAsAdmin.jpg Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  • It is very important that you do not use your computer while Gmer is running!
  • Gmer will open to the Rootkit/Malware tab and perform an automatic quick scan.
  • If you receive a warning about rootkit activity and are asked to fully scan your system click NO!

When the pre-scan is completed, please do the following:

  • Please check in the Quick scan box.
  • Please uncheck the IAT/EAT and Show All.
  • Click Scan.
  • If you see a rootkit warning window click OK.
  • When the scan is finished, Save the results to your desktop as gmer.log.

Please include the content of this file in your next reply.
Don't forget to re-enable previously switched-off protection software!

icon_idea.gif If you encounter any problems, try running GMER in Safe Mode.
icon_idea.gif If GMER crashes or keeps resulting in a Blue Screen of Death, uncheck Devices on the right side before scanning.

Can't find a reason why... let's try to amend the fix a little.

 

Also I will be unavailable till Monday/Tuesday. I will ask a friend of mine to continue the cleaning, so please don't worry :)

Hi and I am sorry for the delay, reality kicked me out off the computers for the last days. Hopefully I will improve my attendance now :)

If you still need help, post back to inform me and we will continue :)

 

Alrighty then. Well, it is okay that you've been gone; other endeavors get the best of us.

 

Anyway, I'd like to tidy up a few things, just to be safe. :)
