Hi there, my brother's laptop has recently become infected with a rouge spyware posing as a antiv virus prog - vista antivirus 2008.

I have tried to clean this up for the past days by reading some posts on different forums / searching google.

Here is the hijackthis log:

I also have mbam logs and deckland's system scan log if you wish to see also.

Hi and welcome to the forums.

Please download SDFix and save it to your Desktop.

You should print out these instructions, or copy them to a NotePad file for reading while in Safe Mode, because you will not be able to connect to the Internet to read from this site.

Double click on SDFix.exe. It should automatically extract a folder called SDFix to your system drive (usually C:\). Please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :

• Restart your computer
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
• Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
• Choose your usual account.

• Open the SDFix folder and double click on RunThis.bat to start the script.
• Type Y and press Enter to begin the script.
• It will start cleaning your PC and then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
• Press any key to restart the PC.
• Your system will take longer than normal to restart as the fixtool will be removing files.
• When the desktop loads the Fixtool will complete the removal and display Finished.
• Press any key to end the script and to load your desktop icons.
• A text file should automatically open, so please copy the contents and post them here.

Please also post the MBAM log that you have and run Deckards System Scanner again, posting that log. Also let me know how it's running.

Hi,

How are you making out here? Still need help?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Dave
