Hello everyone,

 

My laptop cant reach antivirus sites or ping them from the program within (searching for updates). Really annoying, thinking that it is because a virus is blocking it. How do I get rid of this?

No need to bump, or you may get missed

First I will need a look at your system

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

• Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
• Select additions at the bottom
• Press Scan button.
  
• It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
• Please attach both logs generated.

THEN

Download aswMBR.exe ( 4.5mb ) to your desktop.
Double click the aswMBR.exe to run it.
You may be offered the option of using virtualisation, accept that
When it offers to download the virus database allow that as well
Click the "Scan" button to start scan




On completion of the scan click save log, save it to your desktop and post in your next reply

Hi Essexboy!

 

Thanks for the help. I've downloaded the 2 programs and let them perform scans. aswMBR.exe kept crashing at exactly the same point though (tried it 6 times). It did find something before it crashed, I'll put 2 screenshots from aswMBR.exe and the 2 logs from the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (which didn't crash).

I see that you have run combofix, could you post the log please

After FRST has run could you try an AV site again

Missed one, are you able to access AV web sites ?

CAUTION : This fix is only valid for this specific machine, using it on another may break your computer

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

Save this as fixlist.txt, in the same location as FRST.exe

Run FRST and press Fix
On completion a log will be generated please post that

[FisherXL]

Yeah I can now! Does that mean it was because of a virus I couldnt reach the AV websites? And that virus is gone now?

[Essexboy]

Yes it was in those two folders I killed

Could you zip the contents of the FRST folder at C:\FRST and attach it to the next post. I will then upload to the AV companies for inclusion and analysis

Once I have that we can then remove all the tools you have used and secure you

[FisherXL]

Sorry, English isn't my native language and I'm not much of a computer wizard, I think you meant this by zipping C:\FRST ?

 

Its 17.5MB and I can only attacj 5 MB, so I uploaded it to Zippyshare if thats ok?

[Essexboy]

Yep that is good enough, I have it now thank you

Subject to no further problems

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, 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

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Remove Combofix

Click Start then Run.
On Windows7 or Vista you may use Start Search field if Run is not available.
In the box copy/paste the following command:

ComboFix /Uninstall

Note that there is a space between " ComboFix " and " /Uninstall " .

Then click OK (or press Enter ).
Wait for the uninstall process to complete.

Remove tools

Download and run Delfix




: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article

I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)

If you do need to keep Java then download JavaRa
Run the programme and select Remove Java Runtime. Uninstall all versions of Java present
Once done then run it again and select Update Java runtime > Download and install 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 install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware



Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Unchecky

Click on the link above to be taken to Unchecky.com
click the very large Download button.
click Save
Click Open folder
Right click on the Unchecky_setup and choose to Run as Administrator
Once open click the Install button.
Then click on Finish
Unchecky is now installed and will help you keep unwanted check boxes unchecked, this is a fire and forget programme

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read this little guide Best security practices Keep safe

[FisherXL]

Thank you so much! Really strange malwarebyte couldn't find the virus.

 

You're a hero.

[Essexboy]

It is new, undetected by all Antivirus programmes on Virus total

Keep safe now
