Hi there,
 
I have a dealsfactor infection from helping a friends laptop (who was riddled with viruses, argh!)  I ran adwcleaner and malwarebytes but it didn't catch it all.  I was also wondering if there's a way for me to learn how to create fixlogs for frst when i run into issues like this in the future (so i don't have to take up your guy's times! haha).
 
Problem is, trying to post either of my logs (FRST and Addition- or one or the other) keeps timing out this post from sending.  I'd notepad them and attach, but I know it says to copy/paste only.  Would it be easier for me to pastebin both?  This is an insanely large addition file, i've never seen one this large.
 
Thank you for the help!

Hello,

Can you post the adwCleaner SO.txt log and the Malwarebytes log too.

Also;

Farber Recovery Scanner needs to be running fron the desktop. You have it in the downloads folder. Please move to desktop
To do that:
  • Navagate to your downloads folder--> C:\Users\Angel\Downloads
  • In the downloads folder find FRST (Farber recovery scan tool)
  • Right click on it,Choose cut.
  • Go back to the desktop.
  • On an empty space right click, choose paste.
  • Farber will now have been successfully moved to desktop.
No additional scan needed. I'll review the logs and get back to you.

Thanks
Joe :)

OK,

Did you run ComboFix at anytime, I see it in your downloads folder,
2015-03-25 22:17 - 2015-03-25 22:17 - 05615749 _____ (Swearware) C:\Users\Angel\Downloads\ComboFix.exe
If you ran it, do you have the log file ? It would be located at C:\Combofix.txt

Thanks
Joe :)

I haven't actually.  I'm running windows 8.1 64bit but every time I try installing it here, I get an error telling me my laptop isn't compatible, while listing windows 8.1 64bit :P

 

Runs on another 8.1 64 bit laptop i have, but not this one.

OK,

ComboFix isn't compatible with windows 8.1, I would suggest not using ComboFix unless instructed.

How is the computer ? Any issues Malware related ? If not we can remove the tools we used.

Thanks
Joe :)

Hello,

Lets clean up the tools I had you download. This exercise will remove all malware tools and log files from the desktop, it will clear out all restore points and create a new one.

Download DelFix by Xplode and save it to your desktop.
  • Run the tool by right click on the 51a5ce45263de-delfix.png icon and Run as administrator option.
  • Make sure that these ones are checked:
    • Remove disinfection tools
    • Purge system restore
    • Reset system settings
  • Push Run.
  • The program will run for a few seconds and display a notepad report.
    Paste it for my review.
Thanks
Joe :)
