I managed to get a boatload of viruses and Spyware thanks to my kids pulling a fast one (they were told they were allowed onto Webkinz, and they decided to play some 'Free Games' online.

Anyhow, ran AVG and it got rid of most of the crap, but I'm still having some recurring problems. The last time I ran into this I ran Combofix and it took care of everything... but now Combofix won't run.

I saw a similar problem in another thread here, and I tried running RootRepeal, but didn't see a file with the same name as the other guy's (obviously generated each time to keep from being discovered).

Anyhow, here is what RootRepeal reported - Hope I did the attachment thing right.

 ROOTREPEAL.doc   48KB   146 downloads

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Also have a problem with a file called b.exe that keeps coming back (creating multiple copies of itself when I disable it at startup).

hi

Please download ComboFix from Here or Here to your Desktop.

**Note: In the event you already have Combofix, this is a new version that I need you to download. It is important that it is saved and renamed following this process directly to your desktop**

• If you are using Firefox, make sure that your download settings are as follows:
  
  • Tools->Options->Main tab
  • Set to "Always ask me where to Save the files".
• During the download, rename Combofix to Combo-Fix as follows:
  
  
  
  
  
  
• It is important you rename Combofix during the download, but not after.
• Please do not rename Combofix to other names, but only to the one indicated.
• Close any open browsers.
• Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
  

  -----------------------------------------------------------

  • Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
  • Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.
    

    -----------------------------------------------------------

  • Close any open browsers.
  • WARNING: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts
  • Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until Combofix has completely finished.
  • If there is no internet connection after running Combofix, then restart your computer to restore back your connection.

  -----------------------------------------------------------

• Double click on combo-Fix.exe & follow the prompts.
• When finished, it will produce a report for you.
• Please post the "C:\Combo-Fix.txt" for further review.

**Note: Do not mouseclick combo-fix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall**

I think that did it... THANKS!

That was a pretty simple work-around... wish I thought of it.
