Albino_Cerberus Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Hello, As I'm sure you've heard a million times before, I did a scan with A2 Free and it detected some Malware that it's been unable to delete: 2 high risk Gen.AdWare!IK files. I've followed the START HERE instructions, and I'm fully expecting the infection to be larger than it appears. I haven't been having too much trouble with the performance of my PC (I run XP by the way), but the driver for my Intel PROset Wireless has been failing on occasion. It may be related, it may not. Either way, I'd like to get as much Mal-Ware off my computer as possible. Note: I don't know if this is an issue or not, but the START HERE instructions have special notes for those using firefox and opera. Let it be noted that I use Google Chrome if that makes any difference. is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start. ~ INLINE LOGS REMOVED {Lynx} I Appreciate you guys taking the time to look at this for me. And I'm looking forward to hearing from you guys. Thanks in advance! -Albino Cerberus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowPuterDude Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Your logs look fine. Unless you are having problems from Malware it is time to do the final steps. If you used ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix: Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. (Use only the command of the same name as your copy of combofix.) AvoidTDSS /u or combofix /u or Combo-Fix /uNote: The space before /u, must be there. Which command you use depends on if I had you rename ComboFix during download.This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults. Delete the C:\AvoidTDSS or C:\ComboFix folder from combofix.Delete everything in C:\!KillBox Delete the following from your Desktop (If they exist) Avenger.exe Avenger.txt Avenger.zip DisableAutoRuns.reg FixMe.reg FixReg.reg ISeeYouXP.exe ISeeYouXP.lnk ISeeYouXP.txt Anything else I had you use Delete the following: (If they exist) C:\Avenger.txt C:\Avenger C:\ComboFix.txt C:\ComboFix C:\SDFix C:\Qoobox You can delete and uninstall any programs I had you download, that you do not wish to keep on the system. Empty the Recycle Bin Run ATF Cleaner In the ISeeYouXP folder double-click HideIT.bat. Turn off System restore to flush all your restore points then turn system restore back on. To manually turn off System Restore, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. 2. Click the System Restore tab. 3. Click to select the Turn off System Restore check box (or the Turn off System Restore on all drives check box), and then click OK. 4 Click Yes when you receive the prompt to the turn off System Restore. To turn on System Restore, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. 2. Click the System Restore tab. 3. Click to clear the Turn off System Restore check box (or the Turn off System Restore on all drives check box), and then click OK. Delete C:\ISeeYouXP Run Windows Update and update your Windows Operating System. Run the Secunia Online Software Inspector, this will inspect your system for software that is out-of-date and in need of updating. Update anything program/application detected as being out-dated. That should take care of everything. Safe Surfing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
