Open up your Notepad editor (Start->Run, type in notepad and click OK). Copy the text from the quotebox below into Notepad:

Save this as CFScript.txt in the same location as the ComboFix.exe tool.
Drag the CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe
Follow the prompts. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply.

Note: Do not click on combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall.

Here is the log per the last instructions you provided. please advise as to the next step. I noticed that one of the files listed in your quotebox(avwavp.dll) did not get deleted. thank you

We'll take care of that now...

Open up your Notepad editor (Start->Run, type in notepad and click OK). Copy the text from the quotebox below into Notepad:

Save this as CFScript.txt in the same location as the ComboFix.exe tool.
Drag the CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe
Follow the prompts. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply.

Note: Do not click on combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall.

I ran your instructions twice as I saw that avwavp.dll does not appear to be deleted. the logs from both runs are attached. "log1" is from the first run. after the first run, I removed the archive attribute from c:\windows\system32\avwavp.dll. Then I ran the steps you provided a second time. The log from the second run is simply called "log". the avwavp.dll file is still there. Please advise as to the next step. thank you. one other question: when I cut and paste from the quote box, do I include the text at the top that says "QUOTE" ?

I ran the instructions as provided. Attached is the _OTMoveit.log(renamed OTMoveit.txt) and the combofix log. The combo fix log is labeled log.txt. The computer is running well. The adware popup's have stopped which was the most evident problem. I am uncertain withat the avwavp.dll is, but it does remain as the logs will show. Thank you for your persistance in working through this with me.

Disconnect from the internet and make sure you turn off all the security programs. Try running the fix I gave you earlier again to see if it helps. Post the new logs here again.

avwavp.dll I cannot delete, even from the recovery console and removing the archive attribute. It is being used by another program but I cannot tell which one. I was disconnected from the internet, I am using dial up. McAfee Security Center automatically keeps running even upon reboot, this is inspite of having it disabled and ending the processes from the taskmgr. It is not flexible in that it cannot be turned off. The samething happens with the Windows Security Center..., having tried to disable it using the GUI, it seems to keep running. Particularly upon reboot. The logs from Moveit and Combofix are attached. Thank you for your help.

Print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order it is mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes. You should NOT have any open browsers when you are following the procedures below.

Download VundoFix at http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=4 and save it to your desktop.
- Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
- Click the Scan for Vundo button.
- Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
- You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files. Click Yes.
- Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
- When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer. Click OK.
- Post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt here.

NOTE: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove. In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot. Simply follow the above instructions starting from Click the Scan for Vundo button when VundoFix appears upon rebooting.

Download Malwarebytes ' Anti-Malware at http://www.besttechie.net/tools/mbam-setup.exe or http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebytes_Ant...ware_d5756.html Double-click on mbam-setup.exe to install the application.

* Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform Full Scan, then click Scan.
* The scan may take some time to finish, so please be patient.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to restart (see Extra Note below).
* The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
* Copy & paste the entire report into your next reply.

Extra Note:
If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts. Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.

I ran vundofix. the log is attached. for vundofix there are only 2 buttons. 'scan for vundo' and 'fix vundo'. there is no 'remove vundo' button. so after is completed scanning I clicked on 'fix vundo' and some text came up that said 'removing.....' But it was like that for 30 minutes and clicking on the taskmgr showed it was doing nothing. so it did not removed itself. how do I remove it properly? I did not run the Malwarebytes steps until I hear back from you concerning the above. thanks.
