Hi,

Last week I started my work computer and got the message that it could not connect to the network drive. We finally figured out that the DHCP client was not started. Once I was connected to the network, I ran malwarebytes and there was one registry key infected as well as 2 registry values:


Registry Keys Infected:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\avsoft (Trojan.Fraudpack) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

Registry Values Infected:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\obfelegl (Rogue.AntivirusSuite.Gen) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\obfelegl (Rogue.AntivirusSuite.Gen) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

I also noticed that I had the classic windows theme rather than the XP. The themes service as well as the Windows Audio was not started. Now every time I restart my computer these services (DHCP, Themes, Windows Audio) are not running. They are all set to automatic, and I have no problem starting the manually.

I would really appreciate if someone could help me out. I'm assuming there is still some type of virus or corrupted file.

Thanks!

Edited to add: I downloaded TdssKiller and ran it. Everything seems to be working now. If you think I need to do anything else please let me know. Otherwise, I'm sorry for the post!

Please go to the malware forum and follow the instructions at the top....Especially the CLICK HERE.

That will give you several steps that will help you clean up 70 percent of all problems by yourself. If at the end of the process you are still having difficulty--and you may not be-- then post an OTListIt log in THAT forum.
