Hi moordogck,

Glad to hear that you have your files back :). We did good job here. Malware was hiding files on your system.

How is your system now? Any visible problems?

Let's do standard antivirus scan to see if there is anything left behind. To speed scan a little disable your onboard antivirus and antispyware software. When you done with scan post back log.




Download Virus Removal Tool from Here to your desktop

Run the programme you have just downloaded to your desktop (it will be randomly named )

First we will run a virus scan

Click the cog in the upper right

Select down to and including your main drive and your D drive as well, once done select the Automatic scan tab and press Start Scan
Posted Image

Allow Virus Removal Tool to delete all infections found
Once it has finished select report tab (last tab)
Select Detected threads report from the left and press Save button
Save it to your desktop and attach to your next post

Hi maliprog,

I might still have something here, I just got a pop up that says Windows detected a hard disk problem then a bunch of small windows that say "windows - delayed write failed, failed to save all the components for the file \\system32\\000064a3. the file is corrupted or unreadable, this error may be caused by a pc hardware problem. :( it's one of the pop ups I was getting before, also FF was ot fixed, IE works but FF hasn't since the day I told you I was getting those weird messages when trying to open IE or FF.

thank you

Do you get these popups when you do specific step (open Firefox for example) or you doesn't have to do anything?

Please test your system after these steps and if you can take screenshot of those popups you see.

Hi maliprog,

Those things I have done they don't seem to be fixing anything, after the VRT scan I don't see any changes, I haven't gotten the pop ups yet but my desktop is missing a lot of icons and my start menu is empty, also there is nothing on the right side in the start menu, where my computer, my documents etc etc are. are we removing any viruses? I'm confused, I restarted the computer after the VRT scan and it looks the same, I'm going to do the next steps you posted for me today.

thank you

OK. With new info new steps.

Step 1

I haven't gotten the pop ups yet but my desktop is missing a lot of icons and my start menu is empty, also there is nothing on the right side in the start menu, where my computer, my documents etc etc are.


You never mentioned that you lost your icons until now (as far as I can remember). You must say things you see to me because all that are clues for me.

Let's try to get your icons back:

Download Unhide.exe from here to your desktop and run ti. It should unhide all your files.

Step 2


I don't understand how to post the screenshot, I downloaded it and pressed prtsc and then esc but then what? lol..


You should have ClickShot_HHMMSS.jpg in the same folder from where you run ClickShot.exe.

Attach picture in your next reply.

Step 3

Test your system now. What problems do you have after these steps?

Hi maliprog, ok I have my icons back on my desktop, and the folders in the start menu are not empty, the things I see different still are, no wall paper, star menu is missing the right side where it has my documents, my computer, control panel etc... the icons on the taskbar used to be all under one icon, I used to mouse over it and it would show me the rest, now they are all shown in the task bar.

The clickshot is not under a file it is an icon that looks like a photo camera, there is nothing else there to click but that.

Thank you

I have one question, are the viruses removed? how can I double check?

thank you again

Please update your Malwarebytes and do Quick Scan. Post log after the scan for me.

We'll try to manually restore right side icons in Start menu by following These steps. Make sure you you have select Default programs and all icons you need. Press OK button to close Properties window and check your Start Menu now.

You can change your desktop background now by following These steps.
