[whatif]

Hello everyone.

I have just used HJT on my own to get most of the spyware and viruses off the computer. I had removed the virus alert from the system clock as well as the virus alert from system properties. The only problem i am having now is I cannot get any *.exe to run. This is even after if i get lucky when installing a program. There was a similar post of this problem of how the user renamed the file to anything other than originally named and it worked. It worked for trying to install Spybot search and destroy however i cannot get it to run to scan the computer for left over adware isssues.

Here is a New HJT log where i stand now, as well as Silent runner.vbs

Im up for anything on how to fix this [bleep] thing, this has been the biggest challenge i have faced with fixing. I have been around adware and taken care of it before but nothing like this. Kahdah I hope your reading this

• On completion it will ask for a location to save the file and a name. It will do this for both the .run file and the log file
• Call the .run file "Mylog" and save it to your desktop. You will see the .run file on your desktop. Upload that file here.

Thanks for the help here is the Mylog.run File zipped. I did run the *.exe extension fix. I wanted to also update you that I ran combo fix and turned off the vundo virus replication using spybot startup items. I have ran Nod32 to make sure eradication is eliminated. I do not have the virus anymore. I can now run *.exe files from the laptop. Let me know if there is anymore clean up that needs to be done. I have also used the ATF-Cleaner. This was all done before I recieved any reply.

Thanks, let me know what you see in the log

I think you may still have an infection,

Download the zipped attachment at the end of this post (this will be your runscanner file fixed by me).

• Unzip it to your desktop then double click the runscanner icon this will run the program.
• You will notice several entries in red.
• Click the button at the top called Fix selected items
• Accept the warning(s) and repeat until they are all gone.
• Reboot your PC

Then,

Please download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) and save it to your Desktop.

• Close all other windows before proceeding.
• Double-click on dss.exe and follow the prompts.
• When it has finished, dss will open two Notepads main.txt and extra.txt -- please copy (CTRL+A and then CTRL+C) and paste (CTRL+V) the contents of main.txt and extra.txt in your next reply.

Note:These logs may be too large to post in one reply, if so, please post extra.txt in a separate reply.

[whatif]

Mike I appreciate your help and everyone else however, I have already turned in the laptop. I had ran out of time in fixing the laptop and had to give it back. I cleaned it the best i could within the allotted time.


Thanks again to everyone
