Where is the log from the Sophos scan in step 3 ?

 

Please download the attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop.
NOTE. It's important that both files, FRST or FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on this particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system.

Run FRST or FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.
If the tool needs a restart please make sure you let the system restart normally and let the tool complete its run after restart.
The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please attach or post it to your next reply.

Note: If the tool warned you about an outdated version please download and run the updated version.

fixlist.txt

Okay, so the main Steam engine executable looks to be old to me, but I believe that is automatically updated by them, yet the date is pretty old which I would not expect. Also, the renamed file is the exact same file as the hash is identical.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe    --a---- 2860832 bytes    [08:37 15/03/2012]    [01:58 13/10/2016] D2CE6EA0E9F641D7153462D40C6B4193
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe.old    --a---- 2860832 bytes    [08:37 15/03/2012]    [01:58 13/10/2016] D2CE6EA0E9F641D7153462D40C6B4193

I don't play any games with Steam myself so not 100% certain what an up to date version of the program should be. I would suggest either checking another computer with Steam on it, or checking with other users what date they have on their file and possibly uploading it to virustotal.com to let them scan it for any possible infection to ensure it is the signed valid file from Steam. (pretty sure it is).

That file may just be a stub launcher that then links to a larger DLL file that actually runs the program and thus they may not have updated that exe file since 2012, but checking to make sure would be a good thing.

Just go to VirusTotal

Then click the "Choose File" button and browse to the location of steam. 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\

Then find the STEAM.EXE and upload it. They will scan it and let you know.

Then you can post the link from the scan and post back here. If VirusTotal says the file has already been scanned, tell it to go ahead and rescan it.

Thanks

Well not knowing the game engine that well myself it could be a normal process and just a false positive from AVG.

Please note that AVG has been sold to Avast

Avast Announces Agreement to Acquire AVG for $1.3B

Might I suggest uninstalling AVG antivirus and rebooting, then run this removal tool from AVG to clean up any left over elements of the program.

AVG_Remover

Then grab a copy of Avast and install that and update it and scan with it and see if it's giving you the same issue.

You're quite welcome

 

At this time there are no more signs of an infection on your system.
However if you are still seeing any signs of an infection please let me know.

Let's go ahead and remove the tools and logs we've used during this process.

Most of the tools used are potentially dangerous to use unsupervised or if ran at the wrong time.
They are often updated daily so if you went to use them again in the future they would be outdated anyways.

The following procedures will implement some cleanup procedures to remove these tools.
 
bwebb7v.jpgDownload Delfix from here and save it to your desktop. (you may already have this)

  • Ensure Remove disinfection tools is checked.
  • Click the Run button.
  • Reboot


Any other programs or logs that are still remaining, you can manually delete. (right click.....Delete)
IE: RogueKiller.exe, RKreport.txt, RK_Quarantine folder, C:\FRST folder, FRST-OlderVersion folder, MBAR folder, etc....AdwCleaner > just run the program and click uninstall.


 
If there are any other left over Folders, Files, Logs then you can delete them on your own.
 
Please visit the following link to see how to delete old System Restore Points. Please delete all of them and create a new one at this time.
How to Delete System Protection Restore Points in Windows 7 and Windows 8

Remove all but the most recent Restore Point on Windows XP


As Java seems to get exploited on a regular basis I advise not using Java if possible but to at least disable java in your web browsers

A lot of reading here but if you take the time to read a bit of it you'll see why/how infections and general damage are so easily inflicted on the computer. There is also advice on how to prevent it and keep the system working well. Don't forget about good, solid backups of your data to an external drive that is not connected except when backing up your data. If you leave a backup drive connected and you do get infected it can easily damage, encrypt, delete, or corrupt your backups as well and then you'd lose all data.
Nothing is 100% bulletproof but with a little bit of education you can certainly swing things in your favor.


If you're not currently using Malwarebytes Premium then you may want to consider purchasing the product which can also help greatly reduce the risk of a future infection.
