Hi,

Yes AntiVir gives locations (sort of).....they are usually given at the same time as the alert, usually looking like this however (due to long path):

C:\....\aad987slkjsd87 (the ending always looks arbitrary like this)

I have noticed one location = C:\System Volume Information.... , but I don't have this folder when exploring.

I will look further when I get home to my sick computer.

Thanks,
Ken

C:\System Volume Information

This is yor system restore, they arent active unless you do a system restore. We will clear these in our last step

I wonder if its finding things in Nortons quarantine, or possibly in a dss backup The aad987slkjsd87 ending with no extention usually means an archive. I doubt any of it is active malware. Strange that Kaspersky saw nothing. Can you see if there is an export feature with Avira. Im sorry for my unfamiliarity with it, its one of the few I've never really messed around with.

You were right....the first 3 detections I mentioned in previous post are in Symantec quarantine, as seen in AntiVir log below. For the life of me I cannot seem to figure out how to empty the quarantine on Norton's. The other 3, I'm not sure. Awaiting further instruction...computer still running slugishly.

Ken

Great, They are all in Symantecs quarantine, your system restore except this one C:\QooBox\Quarantine\C\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\vfbyokqg.dll.vir, Its a quarantine folder that combofix makes so no harm there either


Follow these steps to uninstall Combofix and tools used in the removal of malware
  • Click START then RUN
  • Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.

Follow These directions for flushing system restore


Try this for deleting the quarantin, its for a previous version but should still apply

1. Start Norton AntiVirus.
If Norton AntiVirus is installed as part of Norton SystemWorks or Norton Internet
Security, then start that program and click Norton AntiVirus.

2. In the left pane, click Reports.

3. Click View Norton Quarantined and Restore.

4. In the left pane, select the type of risk that you want to remove.

5. In the right pane, select the files that you want to remove.

6. Click Delete Item.

7. When you see the message "Warning! Are you sure that you want to remove this
item from Quarantine," click Yes.

8. Close the Quarantine window, and then exit Norton AntiVirus.

As far as the slowness, I think it is definately a RAM problem, Its the simplest way to fix the slowness problem I'm positive thats the problem. You have plenty of processing power but the processor has to wait on the ram to clear space before it can process the next function. Thats a crude explanation but the best way I can describe it without confusing both of us :)

Do you need help choosing an upgrade in ram, also let me know how te steps went

Hey,

1) I had previously gotten rid of ComboFix so I was unable to carry out ComboFix /u; I deleted the directory w/the quarantined file.

2) System Restore successfully flushed.

3) Cannot find way to empty Norton's quarantine, your directions did not apply to this version of Norton's Internet Security.

Lastly, I pulled the RAM module out earlier, and its pretty old; might be hard to find something comparable:

Dell Part #D6467 DIMM (DRam; DDR II SDRam) 256, 400, 32x64, 8, 240, 1RX16

Only some of those numbers (256, 400) mean anything to me

Right click "my computer" then select properties, that will give you the make and model number of the pc, from there we can find out the best ram and deal for you.

Ill see if I can get directions on emptying the norton, just know its of no threat

Hey,

I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you helping me out with this situation. Although it took time, its better than wiping out the drive and re-installing everything.

Its a Dell Dimension 4700 C
Pent 4 2.79 GHz
256 mb ram

Thanks again,
ken

I have several RAM modules around my house that I would like to try to use but for some reason they do not fit. The speed and type are the same, however the "keyed" part of the stick (where there is no plated contact) does not fit onto my board. Is there a way I can classify this - meaning what is the difference between these two pieces?

Unfortunately, Ram isnt uniform. Theres no way to alter it to fit what you need. They are made motherboard specific. So the only real difference is they are keyed differently. Probably so they can make more money
