Crowbar, I set the search engine in Internet Explorer as you suggested. I also ran Malwarebytes and ESET Online Scanner last night. I'm at work now, and when I get home I will post the logs.

The version of MBAM I have doesn't allow the quick scan, so I selected Custom and scanned the entire C:\ drive which is where I have Windows XP and other programs.  (I don't know why it considered the AdwCleaner program as malware.)  The ESET Online Scanner log follows after the MBAM log.

(I notice that some of the ESET findings refer to games that I have on F:\ and Z:\ drives.  These are "hidden object games" and I suspect the findings are false positives.)

Hi Jackpine,
I am not worried about MBAM detecting one of our tools, they wont be there much longer. ;)

In the ESET scan, the first 5 detections are in your system restore area - I will clear those restore points on our cleanup.

Those detections of those game files:  I don't think they are false positives, they don't look like FP's to me,
it all depends on where you got them from.  Remember my warning about uTorrent? If you downloaded those games via torrents,
I will bet the farm that they are infected.  Most executables downloaded via torrents will come with a nasty suprise.

I also see some Windows XP cracks on your Z: drive - this is a great way to get infected, they love to hide nasty little surprises in those kind of files, and I have to mention that they are illegal as well.
I have previously advised you to get rid of uTorrent, I still feel this is the source of your problems....
Please seriously consider dumping Windows XP as Microsoft has stopped any security patches, any new exploits will remain unpatched.

I will supply an OTL script to delete these files, its up to you to run it or not.

We need to do an OTL fix:

Note: If you have Malwarebytes 1.6 or higher installed please disable it for the duration of this fix as it may interfere with the successfully execution of the script below. If it still hangs then please uninstall MalwareBytes' and run this fix again.
Run OTL

  • Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following

    :commands
    [createrestorepoint]
    :files
    F:\Games\Echoes of the Past 4 The Revenge of the Witch Collector's Edition [FINAL]\Echoes of the Past 4 The Revenge of the Witch Collector's Edition [FINAL].exe

    :commands
    [emptytemp]
    [Reboot]

  • Then click the Run Fix button at the top
  • Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done

After that ....
Subject to no further problems :)

I will remove my tools now and give some security recommendations,
I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean :thumbsup:

Oh look, I seem to have made a mess on your desktop with all of my tools, let's clean them all up, and reset some System Restore points at the same time.

  • Download Delfix from here
  • Ensure Remove disinfection tools is ticked
    Also tick:
    • Create registry backup
    • Purge system restore
    delfix.jpg
  • Click Run

The program will run for a few moments and then notepad will open with a log. You can paste the log in your next reply

Do you use Java  If you do not use it, you are better off uninstalling it completely.  Go to your Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, then find any instance of Java in the list and click on Uninstall - do this until there are no instances of Java in the list.  If you do use Java....
Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.
Please follow these steps to remove older version of Java components and upgrade the application.

Upgrading Java:

  • Go to this site and click Do I have Java
  • It will check your current version and then offer to update to the latest version

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:
CryptoPrevent
Please intstall this program to ensure that the crypto ransomware malware does not take hold of your system.

Malwarebytes. Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated. To keep your operating system up to date visit

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read these two articles:

Hi Crowbar,

 

Everything is running well.  No signs of strange behaviour, and my optical drive autoplay function continues to operate correctly!

 

Thank you for your help in all this, and to phillpower2 as well (who I thanked earlier when he solved the autoplay problem.)

You are most welcome Jackpine!

 

I do hope you get a computer with a newer operating system soon, I am concerned for your online safety!

If you end up with a brand new machine, try Start 8 for Windows 8 and 8.1 - it makes it more tolerable.

 

:)
