Hi

Seems that my Windows Vista desktop got a "virus" that lock the computer and shows a screen with the local police logo saying that my computer was locked and that I need to send 100euros to unlock it.

I have tried to run Rogue to stop the virus process and then try to clean it (while my computer was started in secure mode without network) but when Rogue starts to scan and detects the process, the system give me an exception message and - after a couple of minutes - screen turns black...

I have tried by starting with Kaspersky rescued DVD but the same happens, after a short time, screen becomes dark and computer unresponsive....

It is driving me crazy!!!

Any clue/help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
J

PS: OTL log attached.

Hello cacho,
. My name is godawgs and I will be assisting you with your Virus / Malware issues.

I am currently still in training and my posts have to be approved by an expert so please expect a delay between my posts.

We apologize for the delay in responding to your request for help. Here at GeeksToGo we get overwhelmed at times, and we are trying our best to keep up. Please note that your topic was not intentionally overlooked. Our mission is to help everyone in need, but sometimes it takes just a little longer to get to every request for help. No one is ignored here.

I will start working on your Malware issues. This may, or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine!

If you have since resolved the issues you were originally experiencing, or have received help elsewhere, please inform me so that this topic can be closed.
If you have not, please adhere to the guidelines below and then carefully follow all future instructions:

I am going to stick with you until ALL malware is gone from your system. I would appreciate it if you would do the same.
Because of this, you must reply within four days. If you haven't replied within that time, the topic will be closed! If you need additional time to complete things, just let me know.

• Logs from malware removal programs (OTL is one of them) can take some time to analyze. I need you to be patient while I analyze any logs you post. Please remember, I am a volunteer, and I do have a life outside of these forums.
• Please let me know if you are using a computer with multiple accounts, as this can affect the instructions given.
• Please make sure to carefully read any instruction that I give you. Attention to detail is important! Since I cannot see or directly interact with your computer I am dependent on you to "be my eyes" and provide as much information as you can regarding the current state of your computer.
• If you're not sure, or if something unexpected happens, do NOT continue! Stop and ask!
• All tools must be run from an account with Administrator privileges.
• If I instruct you to download a specific tool which you already have, please delete the copy that you have and re-download the tool. The reason I ask you to do this is because these tools are updated fairly regularly.
• Please read all of my response through at least once before attempting to follow the procedures described. I would recommend printing them out, if you can, so you can check off each step as you complete it.
  Also, part of the fix may require you to be in Safe Mode, which will not allow you to access the internet, or my instructions!
• Do not do things I do not ask for, such as running a spyware scan on your computer, installing/uninstall programs, deleting files, modifying the registry or running any tools, unless instructed to do so. The one thing that you should always do, is to make sure sure that your anti-virus definitions are up-to-date (if possible)!
• 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 unless directed otherwise.
• Lastly, Please be aware that removing Malware is a hazardous undertaking. I will take care not to knowingly suggest courses of action that might damage your computer. However it is impossible for me to foresee all interactions that may happen between the software on your computer and those we'll use to clear you of infection, and I cannot guarantee the safety of your system. Some infections are so severe that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system. Don't worry, this only happens in severe cases, but, sadly, it does happen.
  In light of this be prepared to back up your data. Have means of backing up your data available.

Please don't attach logs to the post unless asked to do so. Copy and paste them instead. Attached logs are harder to read.

You ran OTL form drive N. There should be a file named Extras.txt on the N drive where the OTL.txt file is located. I need you to post that so I can have a look.

Also, we need OTL on the desktop of the system drive, in this case C:\
After you post the Extras.txt log, please delete the copy of OTL.com along with the OTl.txt and Extras.txt files form the N drive. I see that you also have a copy of OTL.exe on the desktop of the C:\ drive. Please run a new scan using the OTL.exe on the desktop. When the console opens up, click the Scan All Users box at the top of the console before clicking the RunScan button. If OTL.exe won't run delete it and download a copy of OTL.com to the desktop and run the scan.


Step-1.

Run aswMBR

• Download aswMBR.exe to your desktop.
• Double click the aswMBR.exe file to run it. (Windows /7 users: Right click the file and click Run as Administrator. If you get a UAC window, allow the file to run.
• If it asks you if you want to download the latest virus definitions, click Yes
  
• Click the "Scan" button to start the scan
  
  
• On completion of the scan click save log. Save it to your desktop and post in your next reply.
  

NOTE: When you run aswMBR, if it is shutdown automatically, then it is most likely the infection detecting that aswMBR is running and terminating it. In this situation you should rename executable to iexplore.exe and try it again.


Step-2.

Things For Your Next Post:
1. The Extras.txt log
2. The new OTL.txt log
3. The aswMBR log
