Okay. My neighbor got into trouble. First, with some kind of infection (he thinks) and then by calling me after he ran ComboFix (he wanted me to 'tell him what it means')! So, I am going to ask here for help. Attached is his CF Log and if some can help me with it I'll help him. He also told me that he couldn't get CF to run for several tries (error that it was corrupted or it just hung) but finally 'got it going' in Safe Mode. (Sorry for the quotes... not really funny but frustrating). O, and don't worry... he won't be running CF again without first asking for assistance online.

Hello and :D

My name is patndoris. I will be glad to take a look at your neighbor's log and help you with solving any malware problems. It will be very helpful if you follow these guidelines:
  • Malware logs are often lengthy and can take a lot of time to research and interpret. Please be patient while I review your logs.
  • Please note that there is no "Quick Fix" to modern malware infections and we may need to use several different approaches to get your system clean.
  • Please make sure to carefully read any instruction that I give you. If you're not sure, or if something unexpected happens, do NOT continue! Stop and ask!
  • Please follow my instructions carefully and in the order they are posted. You may also find it helpful to print out the instructions you receive.
  • Please do not run any scans or install/uninstall any applications or delete anything without being directed to do so.
  • Remember, absence of symptoms does not mean the infection is all gone. Please stick with me till you're given the "all clear".
  • Please do not use the Attachment feature for any log file. Do a Copy/Paste of the entire contents of the log file and submit it inside your post.
  • Please reply within 3 days. If I do not hear back from you in that time frame, I will post a reminder for you. Topics with no reply in 4 days are closed!

Is the machine currently experiencing any issues? Please explain to your neighbor that I will need to look at some other logs in addition to the one provided. Combofix logs alone won't give me all the information I need to help you help him clean the machine. Please attempt to follow these instructions in normal mode.
