Hi. Just a few quick points, and then I'll paste the two reports you asked for:

1. I know my Java is out of date, but unfortunately I use a program that requires an older version -- the newer versions actually causes it to freeze up. I may not need this program much longer, but for now I do, and therefore pretty much have to keep this old version.

2. Everything, in terms of performance, looks pretty good. However, and I admit this is a minor point, but I have the "Weather Channel desktop" thing that provides constant weather updates in my taskbar. It has always started up whenever I start up my computer, but now I have to click on the icon manually to get it to start up. Not that this is a huge problem, but I'm just asking because this was never the case before. It's like whatever was wrong (the virus, etc.) changed something permanently. I just wonder why this is, and if it did anything else I haven't realized yet.

3. MBAM said that no malicious items were detected, so I obviously couldn't do the "remove selected" step.

Okay, here's the MBAM log followed by the HijackThis log.

Greetings

These logs are looking very good, we are almost done!!! Just one more scan to go.

:Remove unneeded start-up entries:

This part of the fix is purely optional
These are programs that start up when you turn on your computer but don't need to be, any of these programs you can click on their icons (or start from the control panel) and start the program when you need it. By stopping these programs you will boot up faster and your computer will work faster.

  • Run HijackThis (rightclick and run as admin)
  • Click on the Scan button
  • Put a check beside all of the items listed below (if present):

    • O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime

Hi. I did the startup removal process, and then Eset, which found one threat. Here's the report. As you can see, it's very brief:

C:\System Volume Information\_restore{2E0259E4-29AE-47E9-90E8-E6274147CE4D}\RP7\A0001246.dll a variant of Win32/Ponmocup.FR trojan

Hello

The Online scan looks very good!! It is only reporting backups created during the course of this fix!!


C:\System Volume Information\<-- System restore


Very well done!! This is my general post for when your logs show no more signs of malware - Please let me know if you still are having problems with your computer and what these problems are.


:Why we need to remove some of our tools:

Some of the tools we have used to clean your computer were made by fellow malware fighters and are very powerful and if used incorrectly or at the wrong time can make the computer an expensive paper weight.
They are updated all the time and some of them more than once a day so by the time you are ready to use them again they will already be outdated.

The following procedures will implement some cleanup procedures to remove these tools. It will also reset your System Restore by flushing out previous restore points and create a new restore point. It will also remove all the backups our tools may have made.
:DeFogger:

Note** Defogger only needs to be run if it was run when we first started. If you have not already run it then skip this.

  • To re-enable your Emulation drivers, double click DeFogger to run the tool.
  • The application window will appear
  • Click the Re-enable button to re-enable your CD Emulation drivers
  • Click Yes to continue
  • A 'Finished!' message will appear
  • Click OK
  • DeFogger will now ask to reboot the machine - click OK.
Your Emulation drivers are now re-enabled.
:Uninstall ComboFix:

  • turn off all active protection software
  • push the "windows key" + "R" (between the "Ctrl" button and "Alt" Button)
  • please copy and past the following into the box ComboFix /Uninstall and click OK.
  • Note the space between the X and the /Uninstall, it needs to be there.
  • Posted Image

:Remove the rest of our tools:

Please download OTCleanIt and save it to desktop. This tool will remove all the tools we used to clean your pc.
  • Double-click OTCleanIt.exe.
  • Click the CleanUp! button.
  • Select Yes when the "Begin cleanup Process?" prompt appears.
  • If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
  • The tool will delete itself once it finishes, if not delete it by yourself.
  • If asked to restart the computer, please do so
Note: If you receive a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTCleanIt attempting to contact the internet, please allow it to do so.

:The programs you can keep:

Some of the programs that we have used would be a good idea to keep and used often in helping to keep the computer clean. I use these programs on my computer.

Revo Uninstaller Free - this is the uninstaller that I had you download and works allot better than add/remove in windows and has saved me more than once from corrupted installs and uninstalls

CCleaner - This is a good program to clean out temp files, I would use this once a week or before any malware scan to remove unwanted temp files - It has a built in registry cleaner but I would leave that alone and not use any registry cleaner

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware The Gold standard today in antimalware scanners

:Security programs:

One of the questions I am asked all the time is "What programs do you use" I have at this time 4 computers in my home and I have this setup on all 4 of them.


  • Microsoft Security Essentials - provides real-time protection for your home PC that guards against viruses, spyware, and other malicious software.
  • WinPatrol As a robust security monitor, WinPatrol will alert you to hijackings, malware attacks and critical changes made to your computer without your permission. WinPatrol takes snapshot of your critical system resources and alerts you to any changes that may occur without your knowledge.
  • Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is a new and powerful anti-malware tool. It is
    totally free but for real-time protection you will have to pay a small one-time fee. We used this to help clean your computer and recomend keeping it and using often. (I have upgraded to the paid version of MBAM and I am glad I did)

    Note** If you decide to install MSE you will need to uninstall your present Antivirus

:Security awareness:

The other question I am asked all the time is "How can I prevent this from happening again." and the short answer to that is to be aware of what is out there and how to start spotting dangers.

Here are some articles that are must reads and should be read by everybody in your household that uses the internet

internetsafety

Internet Safety for Kids

Here is some more reading for you from some of my colleges

PC Safety and Security - What Do I Need? from my friends at Tech Support Forum

COMPUTER SECURITY - a short guide to staying safer online from my friends at Malware Removal

quoted from Tech Support Forum

Conclusion

There is no such thing as ‘perfect security’. This applies to many things, not just computer systems. Using the above guide you should be able to take all the reasonable steps you can to prevent infection. However, the most important part of all this is you, the user. Surf sensibly and think before you download a file or click on a link. Take a few moments to assess the possible risks and you should be able to enjoy all the internet has to offer.


I'd be grateful if you could reply to this post so that I know you have read it and, if you've no other questions, the thread can then be closed.

I Will Keep This Open For About Three Days, If Anything Comes Up - Just Come Back And Let Me Know, after that time you will have to send me a PM

Hi Gringo,

Well, actually, I'm not sure the OTCleanIt was as thorough as I was expecting. Among the programs still left on my computer are:

BlitzBlank
adwcleaner
HijackThis
SecurityCheck

What should I do about this? Should OTCleanIt have taken care of these but did not for some reason?

Also, I assume I can delete any log txt files these programs produced during this process, right?

Okay, I really thought we were done here, but I've encountered a lingering problem that I need to tell you about. Quite simply, every time I click on my Start button and then "Turn Off Computer", my computer freezes. And I mean really freezes -- I can't do anything with it at all, and this lasts maybe 2 or 3 minutes. Note that this does NOT happen when I click on Start and then Log Off -- only Turn Off Computer.

I've never had this problem before, so I can't believe it's a coincidence. So, my question is, is it a lingering effect of the malware, or a result of something we did in the cleaning process? Thanks again.
